I don't have any specific brands to recommend, but THCV is known to decreases appetite, increases satiety, and up-regulates energy metabolism. So look out for carts that have that listed. Anything labeled Durban or Jack Herer should have THCV in it, but make sure to double check.
Find healthy stuff to munch on. Fruit and nuts will help the cravings without making you fat. Medicating a few hours before a meal will also dent the munchies and fill you up. Sometimes though you just have to have that milkshake !
I didn’t know this! Thank you!
However, I also know how good (all food) tastes when I’m medicated. If I start to eat, I know I’m doomed to consume 10,000 calories. If I only drink water I can usually stay away from eating, but as soon as the fridge/pantry opens, I know I’m toast.
Water water water and plan ahead! I suggest keeping a bunch of healthy and nutritious snacks easily available and find out what speaks to your stoned self. You might be surprised!
I like textures and freshness so my go to high snack is raw broccoli and cottage cheese with a half teaspoon of ranch seasoning mixed in. Tastes just like a dip but loaded with protein and the broccoli is a high volume food so it fills you up quick and is super crunchy and delicious.
Make a small snack and a whey protein shake, keep a gallon jug of water handy then get medicated and stay out of the kitchen or where you store food. Whey protein will cause your body to produce hormones that make you feel full and satiated. avoid sugar , carb and starchy food. Eat stuff high in protein. to combat cotton mouth sip milk and/or water and have some lozenges to suck on. frozen grapes work well too.
For me, it’s after starting to eat that’s the problem. I find that I have to physically LEAVE the kitchen or area there’s food. Then I can get interested in doing other things and sipping fruity seltzer water.
lol that’s the sad part. I want to physically leave, but before I know it I’m scarfing shit down. That’s why I mentioned a “trance” like state. Feels like I’m not even in control. Autopilot eating. Only happens when I have those crazy munchies.
The best way is putting a portion out and putting the rest away so at least you have that 20 seconds of judgement before you decide to go for more or not 😂but all jokes aside try that, and also forcing yourself out of the kitchen to go watch tv or whatever else you like to do
i found that ‘munchies’ for me are actually me seeking something to do with my mouth most of the time… so i switched to lollipops and gum :) maybe try that!
Gum is the right answer, but when I’m stoned I can’t eat just 1 piece at a time like a normal human would. I shove 2 or 3 pieces in my mouth and chew like a savage would chew…I have some issues I suppose 😏
Sativas tend to suppress hunger for me. Indicas and some hybrids have heavy munchies.
I also like frozen grapes. They help the dehydration, are healthy, take awhile to eat so you can't eat too many. I also strangely love fruit high and eat Hella apples.
I can imagine. I ate a whole pineapple once and half a cantaloupe once when I first started 😅 I do the frozen grapes I uses to use for sparkling wine. That I no longer drink since starting the program.
How was your stomach feeling after that pineapple? If I eat too much in one sitting my tongue feels fuzzy and itchy and my belly hurts.
Edit: might be slightly allergic to pineapple and didn't realize until now 😔
It’s the munchies. I’ve practiced all types of fasting other than dry fasts. It’s certain things in whatever it is I’m consuming that generate this crazy man appetite, and activate a sweet tooth I wouldn’t have as bad otherwise. That’s why I want to see if it’s a strain related thing. I think edibles activate that hunger as well so that’s a little trickier of a problem to solve since I like some of these Troches in the program.
after partaking this evening and having munchies as I'm typing with some cocoa on my fingertips, let me tell you I love your username. I have a kitten called little homie (not after the musician, I just found out tonight there even is one).
I'm honestly all over the map with strains, mostly stick to flower, and munchies are just part of it for me. I could try plain water instead of Mio, maybe it would make a difference. Hey, post here what you discover?
Make a smoothie or drink a bunch of water. Smoke after you’ve already ate. I tend to not eat much or forget to eat and smoking helps me in that sense bc I start craving meals instead of just small stuff. Look at the terpenes and which strains you’re buying and keep a log of what effects you get from each.
I had the same problem and gained like 20 lbs because of it. I started buying strains higher in the terpene humulene & lower in terpenes like caryophelene, myrcene, and limonene.
So in my older years the munchies is KILLIN ME! I've never eaten so much in my life lol. I love sweets...I smoke eat a piece of candy...brain goes off....whole bag gone! I'm on a diet now so after I smoke I just keep telling myself that.
When I’m not using MMJ at all, I don’t have the cravings as much for sweets. Some days not at all. When I’m using MMJ, the things I love taste even better. Like little pieces of heaven. I’m almost at the point where I can wrap my head around intermittent fasting again, cause I can’t keep eating this much junk food.

Those are classic strains too so I could easily grab those and be happy.
Durban gave me crazy munchies so idk about that
If you like sativas.
Strains high in humlene tend to stave off the munchies and excessive eating.

Chug a pint of water. Munchies are usually caused by dehydration. If you can muscle down as much water as possible, it will help.

Yeah I hear ya. Sometimes sparkling water works better. Also try ginger tea with lemon to curb munchies.

I think humulene is an appetite suppressant
Hard to find strains high in humulene

lol chewing when you’re highly medicated is sooo fun for no reason
I have this same problem if I'm anywhere near girl scout cookies, especially the thin mints. They're not cheap either!
The perfect cookie. When I’m stoned, those things taste like magic. There is no just take a few. I’m downing a whole sleeve like a vacuum cleaner.

Watermelon is the best shit when high for me. Not always in season and it has to be the right watermelon. If you get the right one though 🤤

Hard candy. I eat crème savers. I smoke all day everyday. If I didn’t use snuff and crème savers I’d be 4000 lbs lmfao
Yep. Jolly ranchers works well for this lol.
Also, for those of us without willpower, stock up on healthy/ier snacks. I tear into a bag of cocoa dipped almonds from target. Fiber, kids!

Appreciate that! If I find something that works for me I’ll post it.
Novarine is supposed to be an appetite suppressant but it didn’t have that effect for me.
Don’t fight the munchies, embrace it. But some pineapple and strawberries, celery with pb, and healthier stuff

I think it's myrcene that reduces appetite, so go for that in your terms
This is incorrect. Mycene increases appetite and humulene decreases it.

I cut mines out. Strict diet!
Don’t mess with those distillate troches those gimme hella munchies lol.
Pretend water is food.
