I love weed but my personal problem with it is the overeating. I get the munchies so hard i always eat way too much. I want to lose weight but it feels almost impossible while smoking weed. And tips or tricks against it?

I’m reading this as I eat banana bread over the sink, after smoking a bowl. I commiserate, and I hope to hear good advice too.
I also eat over the sink frequently.
You could prepare healthy snacks before (!) smoking.
some inspiration:
-vegetable sticks with hummus/guacamole
-fruits (frozen grapes are awesome)
-roasted chickpeas
-popcorn (without drenching it in butter)
Yeah this is something i ll definitely try.
+1 on healthier snacks. Frozen grapes or watermelon (also helps hydrate) are godly.
I tried snacking on mixed nuts but it just felt like it took forever for my stoned ass to eat them lol
Test
Drink a bunch of cold water when you smoke, and try to keep yourself busy.
I also try to avoid eating too much while stoned since it becomes a hassle to manage taking insulin for everything, and those two things work well for me.
Beat Saber works for me
Veggies and hummus are my go to but also eating before smoking helps
A. Find the right strain get on leafly and look up which strains of weed cause hunger and which dont
B. Eat before you smoke
C. Maybe smoke as a reward for excercise or during
Ok i can cross B from the list because that will not help :D
So far i have gotten the munchies from all the strains. But i ll look into it.
Some strains make me hungrier, and usually indica makes me have munchies more than sativa, not always though, lol.
I like to get stoned and go on long runs so the overeating is part of the experience
You smoke and then go on a run? Never tried that…
I suck on hard boiled sweets. Fucking beautiful when you’re high wow the flavour it amazing
Jolly ranchers are my go to. Not a health food by any means, but they last so long it keeps my calorie consumption way down.
Embrace it
Become the cheeto
Have you tried strains that are higher in thcv? https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/us/blog-thcv-an-up-and-coming-member-of-the-cannabinoid-family-n456
When I get high, I always have a bunch of watery fruit and veggies available. I’ve eaten entire pineapples before.
You gotta make sure you have nothing but fruits & veggies available. Nothing else but those things.
Fills you up faster, is healthier & doesn’t leave you with large shits usually. Unlike a lot of junkfood does.
Look for something with a lot of Humulene. Humulene suppresses appetite and can counteract the munchies. I have a live resin cart with a bunch of Humulene that works for me. I also have an occasional customer who is older and will forget to eat if she has too much Humulene.
Thanks for the pro tip. I found my munchies vary a lot depending on the strain, so maybe this is the reason.
I keep the unhealthy junk food to a minimum in the apartment. But more it’s that I don’t get munchies anymore. Now I smoke to ignore hunger (I’m aware that’s bad too lol)
Sometimes it’s just inevitable to eat your ass off. I like to have fresh vegetables and fruit ready and available. You can eat a ton of that and be nice and full without blowing through 2000 calories.
My job.
Sometimes I plan to eat breakfast and / or lunch but I get into my stride and forget. Coffee and adrenaline usually keeps me going.
I might grab some toast or a quick sandwich during the day but usually my largest meal is dinner and we make sure we eat as healthy as we can.
Big dinners with vegetables and minerals and all that good stuff.
Then we demolish whatever sweet thing is in the house.
Rinse and repeat.
