How Fat Has Marijuana Made You?

[mpd]

It's time for honesty and an honest accounting of the waistline damage. Can you compete with Santa for the season? Can you wear a Rolex around your waist? Are you "just right"?

According to the government I am 50 pounds overweight, though when I weighed 150 pounds I looked like a wraith and Mrs. MPD said I was rather sickly looking. That was two years ago when I was taking Chantix so I could quit smoking (gods be praised for that medication!). I look the best when I weigh around 175 so I need to give up 25 pounds of marijuana induced fatboy weight.

What's your score?

6'3", 165 lbs. i'm right where i want to be, which is why i'm there. Actually, 6'2.5", gf has worn me down to a just a nub.

 

[GeorgeSmiley]

No option for it but have lost 120lbs in the last 3 years completely high. Munchies is a game I play.... see how hungry I can get and then not eat..... it's kinda fun.

 

[blizz]

i could stand to loose a few pound

 

[danimal7]

6'1" 225lb and when I quit smoking I can loose a pound a day for about 30 days...I have very little appetite when I dont smoke...I have only stopped twice in 22 years and both times I went down quit .... I'm about 25lbs over where I would like to be...but when I get down to 200lbs everyone is always asking me if I;m sick??? because i look skinny...aint nothing skinny about 6'1" 200lbs
taken the amount of exercise I get vs my late night munchies its a wonder I dont weight 300lbs!LOL

Uh, I think you got it backwards. You gained weight because you gave up tobacco. That happens to most people who give it up.

Marijuana does cause the munchies, but I doubt that was the cause in your case.

Oral fixations like smoking are replaced by other oral fixations like eating...

I can either gain or lose weight while using cannabis. It's determined by my choice of what I eat and how much of it.

You can just as easily blame ICMag for your weight gain, cause all the time you spend sitting on your asses here is time not getting exercise and toning up!

Don't blame it on the weed.

Get up off your lazy ass and do something besides eat.

Hell, I'm old and crippled and I hike miles per week. I am thinking about hiking the Colorado Trail this year thanks to taking much cannabis oil and eating many fresh buds right off the plants.

Jenny Craig is a fat, old, slut.

 

[bicycle racer]

i race bikes so i cannot become even a little overweight if i want to do well. im 5-8 and about 155 to 160 throughout the year for my height as a cyclist im heavy but it is muscle mass not adipose tissue(fat) my perfect race weight is about 152 or so. its all about lifestyle choices and self control dont blame the cannabis.

I lost 40# over a 3 month period after starting to use mmj daily ~ 8 months ago. 1 brownie an evening keeps the chronic pain manageable enough to participate in my life again, instead of only watching it pass by. Better than the cookie jar diet thing for sure.
And bong hits

5' 11" and 137 lbs. You should see how I eat at night and still can't gain the weight. If it wasn't for the appetite stimulation it would be less though for sure.

 

[GeorgeSmiley]

BTW I think weight gain has more to do with body type (endomorph, ectomorph, mesomorph) rather than cannabis. So I guess a good question is how much more do you eat calorie wise under the influence of cannabis? I dunno

 

[StickyFingerz]

I have been at the same weight for about 5 years and it doesn't matter how much I eat. It all depends on your metabolism. Maybe sativas can actually speed up your metabolism due to the racy, motivation high that we feel. Think that has any difference?

 

[SpasticGramps]

I like to lift weights when I'm high. I can really zone out and get into it. I'm kind of big on taking care of my body, except for these damn cigarettes. That will be the final mountain to climb before I hit 30.

The munchies help me eat right. You just have to stick healthy stuff in your pie hole instead of the pie and then the munchies aren't all that bad for you if you are exercising.

 

[BACKCOUNTRY]

I've not found the munchies inducing aspect of cannabis to affect my weight gain or loss. My metabolism seems to be unaffected, I still stop eating when I am full, and still get exercise when I need it.

I smoke all day every day (usually) and I find that I dont get the munchies, sure I'll be hungry around lunch or dinner, but thats normal. If I DONT smoke, I cant eat a damn thing without feeling full almost instantly. Munchies has turned into normalcy for me haha.

I find that I actually eat MORE when I dont smoke, I'm on the lean side, and taller, so I kinda need those extra 20 lbs.

fasting from smoking for a little bit, we'll see how the weight/hunger issues go for the next month.

The day i bought a computer was the day i started gaining weight.
Same for a lot of people i know.
Replaced being active with being social not a good idea.

 

[danimal7]

from the responses im seeing here,,,,, i would say you have to choose your parents carefully just like a quality breeder.....LOL

 

[Pythagllio]

Blame it on pot! Any negative occurrence anywhere in the general vicinity of cannabis is obviously the fault of the plant. No need to take personal responsibility for your decisions and actions whatever. Just blame it on pot!

 

[Hydro-Soil]

I'm the right weight for my size.

I've been underweight most of my life and overweight a few times. Once I started eating what I was supposed to (not how much.. but what) my weight balanced out. Added benefits... my brain works better and I'm healthier all around, with more energy.

Dr. D'Adamo wrote the book that I've been using for about 7 years now. He has a new one out that expands the Blood Type diet to include Genotypes as well.

Look it up. Can't beat losing/gaining weight... just by changing the foods you eat.


Stay Safe!
