When you eat fructose it goes directly to your liver. Your liver has the choice of converting it into glycogen for your muscles, glycogen for itself (the liver), or fat. What it chooses to do will basically depend on how much glycogen is currently stored in your liver. If your liver glycogen stores are low it will first store the fructose in the liver because fructose is four times as efficient at replenishing liver glycogen than glucose is. Once your liver glycogen stores are full, it will then store the remainder fructose calories as fat. Little to none of the fructose calories will go to the muscles.

High intake of fructose or fructose products (sucrose, high fructose, corn syrup, fruit juice) will cause greater fat storage and a greater decrease in fat burning than glucose even though glucose is higher on the GI index.

So basically what I'm saying is.. fructose isn't all it's cracked up to be if your concern is fat loss/weight loss.

:hippy:

If anyone wants references I can pull references from books I have at the house. I didn't get this off the internet (have a bunch of materials at the house on fitness and diet... was studying to be a personal trainer).

Fructose isn't bad for you, but it's not that great either. I stay away from it when I'm trying to lower my body fat.

So it's not good to sit down and knock out a whole box of fruit snacks fruit gushers?
Oh.

Personally after I smoke and dont want munchies I will drink a glass of Grapefruit Juice and it seems to curb my appetite.

i have to admit he is right. the actual best way to curb the munch is to enjoy it and GO WORK OUT to make up for it. also do all u can to keep your metabolism working as fast as possible, that way u can burn more calories by just sitting around than you would normally do.

but i still stick with some more lower calorie fillers like salads and veggies... certainly better than a pack of cheetoz or a jar of nutella

what always seems to work for me is...make sure you dont go grab something from a fast food joint cause i know you will just go crazy and order about everything on the menu. another option is get an apple munch on the and sip on water fills u up...!

The only thing that works for me is to exercise. A lot. After i exercise and that night i am always extra hungry, whether i have smoked or not. So i will always eat a lot, and if i have the munchies at the same time, sweet.

Another trick is to wait longer to eat than you would normally do. I will sometimes eat dinner an hour later because then i will not snack (as much) after.

Remember Cannabis is medicine, which causes appetite stimulation for some serious illness'. So it is not something easily reversed. POWER OF THE HERB!:stoned:

Rebgirl: Thanks for the lol!!

My 1st thot was the "s" word, but laughed when I finally saw it!

since I am single, I sip on a sports drink and some are almost calorie free now! It takes care of the thirst, leaves the sweet/sour taste and seems to do the trick. Then go exercise, as above, or go to sleep, like me!

I may eat a bowl of nutritional cereal or the remaining portion of my meal. I intentionally set aside half my dinner for the occasion or half lunch: I stick it aside and finish it for the 'munchies' so I do not eat extra. By getting protein it helps you maintain energy, so I try to just eat meal type of foods in usual portions. And you spend your entire life on a diet! Plus, I just don't keep junk in the house and I won't go buy anything when I've been medicated, well enough for munchies!

A few years ago I decided to choose the highest calorie items in my diet and take them out, one each year! I first started with coke--my biggest weakness (since they mess with the formula, it didn't taste so good anymore anyway), lost 50 pounds that year! Next year candy bars (since that was not a weakness 4 me, it didn't have as much of an impact). I choose one thing a year and am leaning on not so much milk for next year and starting it out now.


Move to the country, like me, no delivery service of any kind!!! Well, maybe bud, but that's it! The fast food places are starting to move into the town, 10 miles away--KFC/Taco Bell; Foster/wienerschntzl: and a few others. I have not been to any of them yet. Went thru Big M's took one bite and it is in a bag for the trash!

Suck on calorie free candy, they have some good stuff on the market. You know you arent' hungry so tackle it beforehand, as per all above suggestions!

Best option: Indulge, plan it and eat less during the day. Pick something that you love more than anything: Like a good fruity sorbet and go for it! Not every night though. Get creative! Good Luck, if you can make a hybrid that cures it--you would be a rich person!! pr:jointsmile:
