What can a pothead do about weight gain? MUNCHIES BAD

[Tony1234567890]

I smoke daily. I'm a pothead.

I'm turning into a lardass. 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.

Do something about it. Take control of your body. Go to the gym, exercise more, eat less. Burn more fat then you take in. Do it as much as you can. There's no point making excuses, get out there and be somebody.

the munchies can be a pain to deal with if you already have a slow metabolism. i tend to eat before i smoke and that takes care of it for the most part. also dont get lazy. start working out.

There's nothing like smoking a fat one after a good work out.

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

Everyone seems to be right on the beam so far. Smoke after eating a well balanced meal, avoid late night snacking, start exercising more, and have better health friendly snacks for when you can't stop a case of the atomic munchies. Strawberries for instance, they taste absolutely amazing after toking up. Don't forget marijuana enhances almost all sensations, so taking a nice long walk when you are stoned is very enjoyable. Always remember, no tips or tricks you get online are a substitute for good old fashioned will power.

Will power when high?

it seems that when I'm high, I can just eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and you get the idea. It doesn't stop!

I do have a gym membership that I've been paying for and not using.

The best thing you can do is, start weight lifting or do some running around your block. Do your best to control the amount of junk food you consume. When you get really hungry after you smoke, try to eat some fruit or granola bars or something.

But to achive to lose weight, you have to mentally force your self to not to eat junk food and also make your self excercise every other day if you can.

Good Luck! :thumbsup:

Dude, I feel for ya, I have to watch out too or I can eat a whole box of cereal before bed!
And eating before I get high doesn't usually work for me. Once I quit smokin bowls for the night the munchies set in even if I ate 2 or 3 hrs before. SO what I try to do is -1-not buy much junk at the grocery store. and 2- have good stuff prepped and ready to go so when I am giving in to the evil munchies I am more likely to eat the good stuff that is already prepared than I am to firing up the oven to cook a frozen pizza or something.
Ahhh munchies... love them/hate them

Ok... I was in this same situation earlier this year.... I had some wise words of advice on how to reverse the effects though...

Ok well you want to start out by eating healthy munchies when you do eat munchies... You can eat fruits (apples,kiwi,oranges) things of that nature (as many as you WANT) without having to worry...Also I cut ALL flour out of my diet

BUT the main thing that helped me was I was reading this thing about cannabonoid receptors in your brain they work on the bodys natural reward system...

So in turn when you smoke you get hungry and feed yourself =)

BUT to correct this what I did was I worked out THEN I toked it up and I still got high but after 2 weeks of doing this I no longer get munchies at all.

So When I started doing this I was 6'5 310pounds in March

Now I am 6'6 225 ripped abs(Not a 6 pack yet but its filling in nicely) and 12" biceps...

I went from a lard ass and because of my depression what I thought was a low life piece of shit..

to a nice healthy muscular specimen of the human male species

Thats my two cents.
