suppressing the munchies

i was on a break from weed for about a week, and I found it easy not to overeat. In addition I was getting excersize. I felt like i was losing weight

Now, im back to smoking weed every night, the problem being that I have a voracious hunger now whenever I smoke. And recently my knee got fucked up so im not getting much excersize at all.

my question being, are there any particular methods or tricks to subduing the munchies without eating a ridiculous amount?

 

Fruit tastes great when your high.. i reccomend something like Grapes... since theres hardly any preperation beforehand, so you can just start munchin on them. Theres plenty of stuff out there that tastes great that is also good for you.

 

maybe try drinking milk with a light snack.... or smoke only before meals...

 

I try suppress the munchies too when I'm high, but not for health reasons. I try not to eat because eating lowers your high. I don't have any specific methods for controlling the hunger. I just push through it. Just try to think about the fact that your high will go down if you eat. That should keep you from eating too much.

 

Eat a few slices of bread and drink a Coke. The carbonation will cause the bread to expand, thereby filling your stomach and supressing the urge to eat.

 

I usually eat first then smoke, this way when I do get the munchies it's not as strong and something like a bagel can take care of it.

 

sometimes when i dont drink enough water during the day..and then i smoke some..i notice that i can only drink water and theres no way i could chew anything down coz it feels soooo dry and like it doesnt really have any taste (cottonmouth i guess..)...but yeh fruit's good and so is all different kinds of gum..

 

a glass or two of a good wine or beer will help fill you up, then eating something substantial when you do get the munchies, instead of chips or other junk food, you tend to feel contented. or at least, i tend to feel contented in such a condition. tonight was perfect...smoked some pot with a coworker after work...then went to the grocery store and got some wine and stuff....had some drinks...had a few turkey tacos and a salad...smoked, and now having another drink. i COULD eat more and stuff myself with snacks cause i'm stoned, but i dont need to or really want to.

i dunno. sometimes i gorge when i'm stoned, sometimes i just chill for the most part.

 

Don't know if this is true, but I've heard that eating a banana will kill the munchies because of the potassium in them... Is this just a rumor or does it have any truth behind it???

its partially untrue. after all, bananas ARE reputed to have relatively high levels of potassium.

not likely to kill the munchies for any reason other than having eaten something....

 

that would be cool

 

yeah and you can also make acid from rye bread

 

drinking a few cups a water works for me...

 

yeah, actually, drinking something cold will supress the munchies. that's because it shrinks your stomach. if your stomach expands, theres more room to be filled with food, so you get hungrier. but if your stomach shrinks, it can't hold as much food.

 

The word you're looking for is ergot, I believe.

 

i drink some hot chocolate or something else warm

 

fruit rocks when ypur high, so does lettuce.....i was once sat in someones kitchen at a party high out of my mind eating lettuce, then someone walked through and was like "dude, what the fuck?" then we all had a good laugh and another joint together

 

lol thats awesome. that happend to me too but it was 3 packs of strawberries and a whole thing of very expensive pickles.. their parents didn't really like me very much after that.

 

yea just munch out on fruits and veggies man, seriously a bag of carrots is suberb when you're stoned and have dry mouth...or grapes, apples, mangoes, stawberrys, whatever youre in the mood for.

 

if you want to smother the munchies, eat your meal before smokin up, or eat salty foods and then spend your time quencing your thirst instead of hunger. or take amphetamines.
