Smoking pot = Weight Loss ???

[murtymaker]

Yes, yes I know that it gives you the munchies, which helps patients gain weight. Yet I also heard once that smoking pot speeds up your metabolism a lot. In turn making you burn more calories. So my question is, if I smoke right before I go to bed, will I lose more weight because my metabolism is faster and I don't get the munchies when I'm sleeping. Then I'd wake up and eat a big breakfast which is a good thing. Obviously diet and exercise will be followed also.

mmmmmmmm, breakfast.

Weed isn't a stimulant so smoking before bed shouldn't do anything. If you want to increase your metabolism before bed maybe you could try jogging a little right before bed then smoke a heavy indica strain and knockout. The exercise you did before bed will increase your metabolism for a couple of hours.

I know lots of people who go running right before bedtime.....

If you want to loose weight why don't you do it the hard way and reap the benefits. Diet and excercise will get you there dude, shortcuts and for lazy cunts.

The last line says diet and exercise are already in check. Just wondering if the pot can expedite the process of fat loss.

Well you burn alot of calories during rem sleep.. Weed kinda makes rem sleep difficult..

Try drinking 2 full glasses of water as soon as you wake up. It wil definatley give you ajump start for the day.. If you dont usally eat breakfast now, you will after drinking that much water first thing. It makes u super hungry...

yea ur burning more calories when ur high so if you wanna lose weight. Dont skip the munchies just eat different stuff. Baby carrots and peanut butter is a good muchie food.. Skip the Doritos and the taco bell......

I think what everyone is saying is that pot does not increase your metabolism! Gotta try something else. Good Luck!

Lol this is an interesting post, becuase I can relate completely. I've been loosin weight for a long time. Everyone knows caloric deficit = weight loss and caloric surplus = weight gain (not always bad, if working out during a surplus time the weight gain will be muscle). Well, I started at 245, worked out and consistently lost weight to 223. From there i started getting munchies at night and having ice cream (mmmmmm). Well nothing else in my routine/diet changed dramatically, and i stopped losing weight but kept hittin the gym. Well I stayed at around 223 for over a month, but during that time I had a significant strength increase on all the exercises. A while later I was able to stop munchin, while still goin to the gym and once again started losing weight. I'm 6'2" and now I'm down to about 212 with the highest strength I've ever had

Moral of the story: weed doesn't help weight loss but it isn't necessarily bad for getting more fit.

Non-weed related fitness talk - The story above is just my weight loss this time around, I started in HS at 260lbs, got down to 199, started working and stopped going to the gym, got back to 245 over a year +, and now im down to the 212. What I have really found over all my years of weight loss, is that in all honesty, you can be pretty damn leneint on your diet and still get into the shape you want. Both rounds of weight loss I've been through I basically got routines that I liked with weights and cardio, and just worked it. If I ate too much, it would end up as a strength increase. If i ate less I would lose weight. It's a win/win situation. I'm not saying having a strict balanced diet isn't better for weight loss - it is, but when most people put a lot of thought into it they don't just want weight loss, they want a good looking body which includes muscle also.

Holy hell.

smoking weed before bench press is a beautiful thing to me...

 

[BackDoorMan]

I always thought that since pot binds to the fat cells it would be harder to lose weightw hen high.. but i dunno... I've been trying to lose weight myself, with no results yet.. maybe if i lay off the junk food?..lol..

 

[Lipples]

lay off the junk food or kick up the cardio and weights to compensate - you can lose weight and eat whatever you want, you just have to balance calories in with calories out so if you eat junk food it means a lot of extra exercise =D

Supermarket is open for 3 minutes! Gotta run to it for some carrots! Gonna smoke a lot this evening and I always get munches of weed (not with hash..). If I eat a whole of a lot carrots in my munches I'll be healthy in no time! I'm a bad vegetable-eater, so this is a great chance for me.
Never thought of eating vegetables in my munches, actually... But I do believe it burns quite some calories for I eat much unhealthy shit when I'm high and the next days I'm not even half a kilogram heavier!

 

[Artillerie]

Got 2 kilograms of carrots! Typical supermarket quality
Smoking before bedtime is fuck. It decreases your sleeping with so many hours, you'll have to have no work for tomorrow! If you're going to sleep at 11pm with weed you'll actually sleep at about 2/3 am?

LOL, are you sure you're not simply forgetting to trim them?

 

[MissKitten]

[NewGrowth]

mmmmmmmm, breakfast.

Did someone say "bake"fast? Haha , i dunno but i like to work out when I'm high sometimes

weight loss/gain simply comes down to if you ate or burned more calories than what it takes to maintain your body.

if you eat 2000 calories in one sitting, or if you spread them out throughout the day, you'll be at the same weight in a month or two with either strategy. people are too focused on how much they weigh each day or each week. this is a bad idea since typically its water weight that is moving the scale up/down.

now what i just said isnt entirely correct, since you begin fiddling with hormones etc. by not eating for 16+ hours, your body becomes much more insulin sensitive, and if you fast, work out, and then eat a ton of food, most of it is going straight to your muscles, more so than if you didnt fast.

... people discussing weight loss/gain is one of my pet peeves when they start talking about a new fad diet, or what seems intuitive to them ie eating before bed goes straight to fat. while temporarily true, you're body will eventually mobilize the fat stores and burn them, granted that extra food right before bed didnt put you over your maintenance calories (which in most peoples cases, it does)

Seem's like you've bene through the "routine" before also
