Metabolism?

okay, so I heard that if you have a faster metabolism, it will help with cleaning out your system.. now ive also heard that coffee(or maybe caffeine in general) increases your metabolism.. now does that mean drinking coffee can help clean out your system? since it increases your metabolism.. these were a couple of the sites I was reading..

Caffeine and your metabolism | Coffee and Caffeine FAQ

anyone have any input? now of course I shouldnt rely on this cleaning out my system on its own. but ive been almost 4 weeks clean. Probably not exercising as much as I should though.. I have a drug tests in the next 2-3 weeks.. and its been a little under 4 already.. so im gonna say by the time I take the drug test, ill be about 45 days clean..

caffiene has nothing to do with your metabolism, its a supplement to increasing your metabolism but in the long run does nothing. and yes its true if you have a fast metabolism, chances are you dont have too much fat. thc sticks to your fat cells.

so wait.. im confused.. you tell me caffeine has nothing to do with my metabolism, but then you say that it can increase my metabolism?..

So, does anyone have any other advice on this? I feel like the guy above kinda contradicted himself, or maybe I misunderstood..

I wouldn't rely on Caffeine to increase your metabolism, it's not a proven scientific fact. Having a fast metabolism is however a good thing for someone who smokes marijuana and gets drug tested. If you don't have a fast metabolism and want to increase it, then you need to exercise regularly. Eat small frequent meals as well as opposed to few large ones. Iced water is also known to increase metabolism by cooling off the body. The body then burns calories trying to warm itself back up. These things and time alone are the only way to rid the body of THC.

Okay thanks.. yeah I wasn't really relying on it, just kind of one of those things where im thinking it could be helping, but not really relying on it.. im just really paranoid about this, cause I really need the job lol. I dont have a set date on the drug test.. its actually kinda my decision on when to take it, as weird as that sounds.. so i've been clean since the 8th, comin up on a month.. hoping I am one of those people who only need a month. lol.. Ive been smoking since I was about 17(6 years), with a week or two breaks every now and then.. and actually a few months back(i'd say about 4 months ago) I quit for about a month and a half, and started up again id say 2.5 months ago. Do you think me quitting for that month and a half helped me at all for now?

Not if you smoked heavily when you started again. If it was just a one time smoking session, then I would say that you'll clean up relatively fast. Have you tested yourself to see if your clean yet?

I wouldn't say I smoked heavily, I definitely smoked almost every day though.. but only like 3-4 bowls a day..(which i guess could be considered heavy to some people lol). But to answer about the drug test, nope not yet.. I ordered one and it came in the mail yesterday.. Just gonna wait a few more days till I test myself, cause it technically hasn't been a month yet.. This wednesday will be a month. Now, what is considered "heavy" smoking? Cause like I said, i only smoke a few bowls a day, and to the average person, they are relatively small bowls.. Id say 3-4 hits a piece.. I am about 6ft, 215.

u would be considered a heavy smoker (like me)....you have been clean for a while which is very important...people dont get that part, but you can still pass if you are a heavy smoker and smoked recently before your test, i have done it. coffee will not increase your metabolism......you need to exercise(cardio) to the point where you are sweating....i wear a whole rocky outfit with winter hat and all so i sweat even more.....from your weight and height you are much bigger than me and i dont know your fat % or diet, but you should change your diet to a healthier one.....i heard berries are good for you and of course hydration (like an athlete, not just drinking a few cups of water).....i think you wll be fine....just dont do anything until after you pass

Well, i just took the home drug test, and I failed :/.. so I guess I need to start running and working out more.. the good thing is, i still got about 2-3 weeks till my drug test for my job. I was just hoping to be clean so I could get it over with and star this job now. but I guess im gonna have to wait a little bit longer..
