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
Veggies and hummus are my go to but also eating before smoking helps
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
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.
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
Embrace it
Become the cheeto
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.
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)
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 count my calories with an app so I know how much I can eat, and still lose weight. And I wait to eat until after I vape. Other than that I try to stay busy. Lately I’ve been using an app to learn to play musical instruments, and learning music and feeling like I’m playing a video game keeps me from thinking about eating lol.
I have the same problem, I tend to eat a ton of food when I have the munchies. The key for me is to not buy junk, and to only have healthier things in the house for when I get those uncontrollable munchies. Also, increasing my daily fiber intake has done wonders for appetite control and keeping me full throughout the day. Staying active will also help offset any over-eating from munchies, of course.
