What can a pothead do about weight gain? MUNCHIES BAD

yeah I don't think it's necessary to resist the urge to eat when you're stoned. The same applies to sobriety; you can have huge portions, it just needs to be the right type of food. Things that are high in fiber usually are more filling. When I get wicked munchies, I eat a huge bowl of grape nuts with skim milk; makes me full for a while. You can add honey to it, which is a healthy natural sweetener.

Don't feel like a victim because other stoners are thinner. Everyone's metabolism is different. I have a friend who smokes on and off in an absolute sense and he'll fatten up good in just two weeks after going back to smoking, but then he'll lose it all after quitting again. It just takes some education on your part to find out which foods you can gorge on and not pack on lbs. Don't feel like the munchies are controlling you, you can guide them in thr right direction by eating the right stuff.

My answer? Sugar free Jello. Ten calories and super tasty cherry gelatin :P

I started going to the gym almost daily early last summer. I am 6'4 and have dropped down from 272 to 247 lbs by eating 5 to 6 small meals per day of about 5-6 hundred calories a piece.

Consult with a personal trainer about whats best for your body

my friend i am in the same boat...if i have a craving consider everything in the fridge gone;) you just have to keep control even though its hard to quiet the cravings. I just tell my self no keg for a belly...maybe eat fruits that you like, good luck buddy:stoned:

Like pass the doobie has said...change what youre snackin on after you smoke! Eat some fruit, tofu, salad etc.

Dont underestimate working out, with a healthy diet and a dedicated schedule you will lean out quick.

lmfao one of the reasons i started smoking because im skinny. it doesnt help me no matter how much munchie food i eat lol. and believe me, when i have munchies, i dont pussy out on that shit. 5'9" 120 hemmmmiiii lol

Nothing like fruit when Iâ??m high. Oranges are my favorite munchies :stoned:

Don't sit around after smokng, find an outside activity. It works for me.

While you're high, if your munchies are out of control, try chewing gum. Not a perfect solution, but I find it helps, and of course if very low calorie.

I'm the opersite, I couldn't get life insurance because I'm half a stone under weight for my B.M.I. I need to put on weight, but find I'm never hungry. I have to really force something down, usually a 1 meal a day.
