5 Tricks To Satisfy Munchies Without Gaining Weight

Here are 5 ways to beat the munchies without gaining weight.

First: stock your fridge with fruits and vegetables. Usually when people get the munchies, they crave some pretty unhealthy foods. But, if you stock your fridge with apples, celery and cucumbers, you’ll be looking at an assortment of healthy snacks when you’re high in front of the fridge.

Second: make sure to drink a lot of water. Your brain’s hypothalamus regulates hunger and thirst, so if you drink a lot of water when you get the munchies, you might be able to trick your brain into thinking you’re full.

Third: consume weed with a high concentration of THCV, unlike THC, which is the cannabinoid that causes munchies. THCV actually suppresses your appetite, so if you’re really looking to beat the munchies, find some weed that won’t cause them in the first place.

Fourth: eat more protein. Protein is the fuel that makes your muscles grow. It also raises levels of peptides in your stomach that communicate a feeling of fullness to the brain.

Fifth: get off your butt and do something! We all know that cannabis can lock you on the couch. So, next time you smoke a bowl and start feeling lazy, instead of going straight from the fridge to the couch, try going out the front door for a walk around the block.
