What can a pothead do about weight gain? MUNCHIES BAD

[EciRonTog]

5 years ago I was just out of highschool and a good 300lbs or so (which is a good amount considering I'm not very tall). The fact that I pretty much sit on my ass in front of the computer all day didn't help things.

When I first started smoking like 4 years ago, I was a bit worried because I'd get munches really really bad and I'd end up bringing a bag of chips or w/e into my room.

But now, years later, I don't get munchies anymore. I still spend almost all my time in front of the computer, but I smoke every hour or so. I've gone from ~300lbs down to 245, not really doing much exercise either.

Now I have somewhat of the opposite effect. I almost never get hungry unless it's like 5pm and I haven't eaten anything all day. These days, I'll eat in order to get rid of nausea from having an empty stomach more than I'll eat because I'm hungry.

The only time I get munchies anymore is when I smoke significantly more than my typical amount. Like the other day I went from smoking my usual small bowl every hour or so to taking like 10 hash-oil covered bong loads in 30 mins with my friends. I had the munchies pretty good after that, though even in that case just getting a small snack like a piece of cheese is usually enough.

Massive munchies are causing me to gain serious weight, my Dockers don't fit any more! It pisses me off because most of the stoner dudes I know are skin & bones. Rating: 5

Just change what your munching on...you'll munch down anything when your high. Try some fruit!

True dat....get some protein powder and have a chocolate protein shake and a muffin or something.I agree though you do need to change what your putting inside of you.try celery and lite ranch dressing or beef jerky,BBQ some oysters or chicken or a steak.

Dude I aunt trying to scare you or anything but I started having problems with not having an appetite and losing weight even though I wasnâ??t exercising, come to find out these or some of the symptoms of the onset of diabetes. With you being over weight, XSP if the main weight is around your stomach there is a very good chance (even if it doesnâ??t run in your family) that you may have type 2 diabetes. The part about you feeling sick to your stomach when empty is also a symptom I experience regularly. Donâ??t freak out though because with diet and exercise you may be able to reverse it. I am on oral medication right now but my doctor is confident that once I lose all the extra weight I should be able to get off the meds.

x2 to the gum chewing thing, and the whey (protein powder) shake... but yeah fruits and vege's are a good way to help curb those munchies
...however, sometimes you just can't help it

ey man gj on the weight loss:thumbsup:, although I thought I might warn you...not eating is a good way to fuck up your metabolism as your body will adapt and eventually what little you eat will become your maintenance. Meaning you will stop losing weight, and will gain weight whenever you start to eat more (as your metabolism will be shot). Sorry if I misread your post, but that is how I interpreted it so I thought I would let you know. Have a good one:rastasmoke:

Just because you're high doesn't mean you can't eat healthy!

I Keep an industrial supply of tinned Mushy peas around, its mostly undigestable, so few calories - although prepare for mega constipation if you dont drink enough.

mind, its not unusual for me to eat about a kilo of mushy peas- then spend the next 12 hours feeling like i've swallowed a large rock- its like being punched repeatedly in the stomach-colon.

still, even if you eat a kilo, its still only a few hundred calories- little sugar, and almost no fat

A pomegranate will keep me occupied FOREVER stoned! Not only do the really good ones taste like Hi-C fruit punch, but there's literally hundreds of those little tasty guys under the skin! I just sit there with some headphones on and pluck out the little red things and eat them one by one. I have to admire each one before I eat it, too. They're so pretty. Pick up some pomegranates, not to mention they're chock-full of antioxidants.
