Tips to avoid overeating/munchies after taking marijuana?

fat2thingirl

Just to be clear, I live in a place that medical marijuana is legal and I have a license.

I think it helps tons with my stress but then I get the munchies like crazy and that is not helpful when I'm trying to lose weight lol. Does anyone have any tips to stop the munchies or not overeat when high? Has anyone here lost weight while taking marijuana? How about CBD? Thanks! Sorry if this question is not in the right forum or is stupid lol.

Try having healthy low cal munchies ready to go and work them into your deficit for the day.

I know in college, I should have bought stock in pillsbury with how much I ate when I was high. I never attempted low cal snacks, so I have no clue if it will help.

Have you tried different strains ? I know with Indica it makes my munchies so much worse, so I only use that for right before bed because it's also good for complete relaxation. During the day I use Sativa, it makes me want to get up and do something, so the food usually isn't an issue. Also if you use 2:1 ( cbd/thc) it lessons the high some, so you won't get the munchies a whole lot... Talk to your budtender, they should be able to help you find a strain that doesn't trigger the munchies as much...
