Don't ever eat processed food

This might get long and come across as preachy when I don't mean it to. Always do what's best for you, what fits your life, and what gets you the results you need. With that out of the way....

I'm of the opinion that you shape your high, not the other way around. Whatever you smoke/vape/whatever may change your impulsiveness or desires but beneath it all you are still there and still in control. Munchies, lack of control, whatever negativity you may associate with weed is just a scapegoat for lack of self control.

In the early days I used to struggle with the same things. Get high, sit around and do nothing, eat up whatever I felt like. It didn't take long to realize that wasn't what I needed, so I switched things up. I got in the habit of making some extremely potent Green Crack my opening session because it helped me get motivated to get up and exercise right after. I'd get up and do my workout, then go back for additional sessions. At some point I realized it wasn't the strain or the timing that made me exercise or eat, it was my own mindset. I can do the same things with any strains at any time, it's just the level of pain relief that varies.

Sativa, indica, whatever doesn't matter imo. There's nothing in any of it to keep you from being yourself if you develop the mental discipline to be a productive person regardless of your level of high.

But.... People aren't the same. What works for me may not work for you. Best of luck friend.

Healthy snacks often work really well for me. E.g. carrots or bell peppers with hummus. Drinking a lot. Flavored chewing gum. In general, I always try to be prepared for munchies so I'm never tempted to reach for some kind of junk food. Works pretty well most of the time.

I don't smoke anymore but I recommend drinking more water. Maybe try flavored water, too. It wasn't a perfect solution to cravings but ice cold liquid was my shit when I was smoking every day.

Smoke enough so that you're too lazy to get up and eat.

You sound like a good candidate for the keto diet. It a hack for your hormones, so hunger cravings better match actual caloric needs. Plus, you’ll need to get high-carb foods out of your house, so they won’t be available in times of low self control.

This is not true. Keto is an unhealthy diet with lots of risk to the liver, kidneys, and cognitive function.

Keto is short term only. Long term, you run into too many risks

empireOfLove2 OP ,

Slatlun ,

How about gum and flavored water?

empireOfLove2 OP ,

Eat normally at regular intervals and be mindful so when weed heightens your senses you're not highlighting hunger and overreact

empireOfLove2 OP ,

deadass i can eat a full dinner, feel great, smoke a joint after, and less than 30min later be back to being absolutely ravenous

it's like my stomach signals get turned off and my brain just wants to feel the tastebuds working

boredtortoise ,

How are your eating intervals throughout the day? Maybe lacking energy or macronutrients?

Not eat junk food.
