Phases of "reverse munchies"?

I've been smoking for a little bit over 4 years now.

in the last year or two I began smoking more, and now in the last year or so I smoke probably 3-6 times a week. Sometimes everyday for periods of time where I have less responsibilities and obligations.

Now I've notices, I go through random periods where smoking marijuana actual depletes my appetite. Sometimes for months at a time, it will be like this, where if I smoke I won't be hungry until long after I'm high. And then it will very suddenly switch back, where I smoke and within a half hour I am craving food.

Currently, I'm in that odd stage again. for the last month or so, whenever I smoke with my buddies, it's rather routine to go get food soon after, and I end up getting nothing but something to drink as food seems incredibly unappetizing. I've never had any friends have this happen.

Now, I understan that when one gets REALLY high, to point of being uncomfortable that is known to not cause an increase in appetite due to stress, but I wouldn't' consider a lot of these scenarios stressful for myself at all.

Any thoughts? the only thing I can think of is that currently I haven't bene exercising and my appetite declines severely if I'm not exercising (my family has a very odd metabolism), almost as if my body has gone into "power saver" mode, where if I'm not suing energy, there is no need for more of it (I know this applies to all people, but for us its rather extreme).
 
It’s a common thing in long-term users and heavy smokers. I was in a same position as you. Smoking 3 times a day, but no hunger for food. You know, when you smoke once a month, it turns you into a food monster! But when you are shoving ounces right up your ass day after day and still looking for a crazy appetite, your stomach is like “You’ve got to be kidding me!” and it goes like this. Don’t expect too much from your body.

Tolerance. It dimishes all effects, munchies included. Smoke less often and you will get more muchies. Smoke everyday all the time and you won't get them at all. It's pretty simple. Plus I find smoking all the time makes you so lazy after a while just getting food to eat becomes a hassle lol.
 
For me quality of weed also plays an important role in weather or not I get the munchies. Only high grade bud works for increasing my appetite.
 
yea ime after a lot of heavy use it reached the point where i could not even stomach eating food unless i had a bowl first. that made it pretty awful to try and stop toking because i would have to consciously remind myself to force food into my face a few times a day.
 
I hated the fact that when I cut down my use my appetite increased 100 fold. I used to get munchies with heavy use, but I could ignore it most of the time. It wasn't a painful hunger like it is when I get stoned now days.
 
I always feel hungry. Smoke. Don't. I'm just phukkn hungry.

The difference is that if I smoke, I eat with gusto, sometimes coming up with experimental recipes for foods that are just wrong. (marmalade spaghetti).

If I have not smoked, I can't finish a meal. I feel the same degree of hungry, I start out with the same amount of food, but half way through, I'm done. (I always take the rest home to eat later when I have the munchies.)

THIS. This is my dilemma haha. I smoke all day every day, and now that I'm moved out of my parents' house and no longer have my fridge and pantry stocked at all times (thanks to my amazing mother), I eat about once a day, MAYBE twice if I go out with friends. Sure, I still get the slight munchies every now and then, but I really have no desire to cook when I'm stoned. It's interesting to me because I have the motivation to go out and do a lot of productive things while high. Cooking is just not one of them.

Whenever I take a break from smoking, my appetite is practically nonexistant and I really have to force myself to eat sometimes. I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather be stoned and eat seldom (but pleasurably) than sober and eat seldom (with no pleasure at all).
 
I never ate after smoking because it kills my high. To all the people saying how weed makes you fat because of the munchies, i was 20 pounds lighter when i smoked weed. Granted i did lots of other stuff too but i had months in which i mainly smoked weed and drank and i was way slimmer then i am now. Weed ftw.
 
It all depends on the strain OP. Its weird, both Sativas and indicas give and take munchies away from me, but it really depends on the strain.
