Weed and the Munchies

Options
Hi everyone! Ive been on MFP for a few years now, but have been on and off in the past year or so. I am now living on a college campus in Northern Cali! (Socal native) and I have picked up the habit of smoking a bit of weed. Since I started partaking in the activity, I have gained about 5lbs from the "munchies". To those of you who like to smoke the occasional bowl- how do you stop yourself from devoring an entire buffet?! Thanks!

    Agreed. Trick is to fill yourself up with healthy foods instead of lays and nutter butter sandwiches dipped in chocolate.

    I drink flavored water... or have a protein shake instead. My main tactic, though, is to eat to satiety prior to smoking. If I'm not hungry I often don't get the munchies as bad... then again, I find that low quality cannabis gives me the munchies more than high quality.... also indicas give me the munchies more so than sativas. Perhaps try a hyrbid or a sativa strain instead of an indica.
