Alright, well pretty much I smoke weed but it gives me SEVERE munchies and i end up raiding my fridge. This only doesn't happy as often if i combine a stimulant with it. My question is...I'm combining the weed with the stimulant so i try not to eat. I read that cannabis speeds up metabolism. If I don't eat while I'm high, will I lose weight than if I just did the stimulant without the weed?
 
Munchies happen bro. makes the food taste awesome.
Also healthy food and excersise make you lose weight. You shouldn't be thinking about losing weight from smoking pot.
 
Yeah i know your problem. Now I just see that I only have fruit and stuff in my fridge, and some bread. I try not to have sweets, chips, greassy things or red meat in my fridge, when I smoke.
Which is daily :). I used to drink 6-8 colas/day,; that's also severely droppped to 0-3/day, all because I have a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice multiple times a day. Gives you all the energy you need !
 
I have always smoked cannabis. At one time I weighed 240 lbs. I am 160 lbs. now. I think in my case I had an internal problem with intestines. (fixed surgically) I have a metabolic rate that is high. I dont feel that I get munchies anymore. I eat reasonably, consuming mostly fresh foods at home and regular store bought foods abroad on the job. I feel great since I shed those extra p's. I take metamucil and a high potency probiotic nowadays and i feel it helps keep my innards flushed of all the trash. I work a job that is a workout in it self. I am active 6-8 hours a day. I think that diet and lifestyle play more of a role in losing weight than cannabis use.
 
i never gained from cannabis, but i sure as fuck ate 10 candy bars and a big fat bag of Munchos everytime I toked up for the first few months. To the point of feeling sick.

Then i switched over to canned peaches, or making food that was good/better for me to eat. Then i started going to the gym. The munchies will make their exit eventually, I have not truly experienced them in the past 4 years as I did the first year I started smoking.
 
I don't think ya'll read OP's shit well enough. He is taking a stimulant. That will speed up your metabolism, and cause unhealthy weight lose. OP, as I said in my last post, gym/work out & eat health.
 
Stimulants do cause weight loss yes, but cannabis doesn't speed up your metabolism, instead gives you the craving to eat food.

Weed > no stimulant. As long as you don't binge when you get cravings, it won't make a difference.
Weed > stimulant. the stimulant will probably dull the cannabis food cravings and will work in the same way it would, if you smoked or not.
 
so let's clarify, you wanna add stimulant to you weed so you don't get munchies? well, that would probably work and you might even lose weight but as said, that's one unhealthy way to do it ;p

I get crazy munchies on weed but I usually just eat lotsa fruit (kiwi, nectarines, green apples and bananas are my favs, nice and juicy, help with cottonmouth as well).

in any case if you're on stimulant you wont eat whether you smoke or not (though it might be easier to force it down)
 
I find amphetamines overpower the high from weed, yet at the same time the weed can cause more anxiety and a faster heart rate. Low doses of amphetamine aren't bad, though I'm used to both shit.

I've heard some claim they actually loose weight on weed, then gain weight when they quit. Could be the THCV maybe?

Maybe you could smoke an African strain of weed that's high in THCV. THCV has an appetite suppressing effect.
