Does pot itself do anything to hinder weightloss?
    #7639167 -

I've recently started at the gym and gone on a diet. I just got back from a grueling workout and I'd love to smoke a bong or two but not if it's going to slow my metabolism. If I stick to the diet but still smoke weed, will that hinder my weightloss? Hell if anything, it'll boost my confidence knowing that I COULD be stuffing a pizza down my throat but I'm not.

Right now I work out at a back/neck strengthning clinic (as part of my physical therapy) and love smoking a bowl after a workout. I need to lose weight myself but I am making that my new years resolution because its too hard to get through the holidays on a diet. I love thanksgiving!

I smoke pot all the time, and I don't and never have had a weight problem. I used to weigh 120 lbs, and weighed that since I was in grade 9 (about 10 years). I weighed about 140 lbs after my stay in the hospital, and although I have lost most of the fat I that I gained, I still weigh 140 lbs (muscle making up the extra now).

Coincidentally, I gained my 20 lbs when I wasn't smoking weed :wink:

So I don't think that THC has any effect to make you fat, rather the psychological effects (munchies) contribute to poor eating habits. If you can smoke and resist that urge to eat, all the more power to ya! :smile:

Sweet.  Thanks for the tip.  I kinda thought so too because I know a lot of skinny potheads.  :lol:

If anything pot helps me lose weight. Try going on a run through the woods after smoking a bowl or two. It makes for such an intense workout. I guess smoking weed burns more clories then not just due to the fact that your heart rate speeds up.

You don't even have to resist the urge to eat, just be sure to stock up on healthy food, rather than junk. Trust me, a slice of watermelon, or a bowl of saffron risotto tastes ten fold better than a bag of chips when you're high. You're probably better off refraining from an intense workout, though, as the increased heart rate will put a lot of unnecessary strain on your heart.

Happy munching :awesome:

careful with being high and exercizing it can strain your heart. it is alot of fun though to exercize when you are high. but the weed already strains your heart so its not a good idea. running through the woods high as fuck ftw

I feel the need to point out here that marijuana does not directly cause the heart to speed up, rather it causes blood pressure to fall somewhat and this usually results in an increased heart rate. Note that under "normal" circumstances the effect should be small (normal being not under psychological stress).

oh I didn't know that. Thinks for setting me straight. As for the intense exercise, I have given uo the cardio + weed combination. Now weed is just strictly for the weight room. It is helping so much. I have seen an increase in my number of reps within just a week, ftw.

Well, for what it is worth I like to smoke a nice joint before hitting the weights. Or after a jog. But not before jogging since I noticed that I don't have the same endurance 'cause of smoking.

I use to weigh just over 250lbs about 3 years ago. Since then I have been jogging/weight lifting/ski-ing and now am down to 185lbs. I still have some extra skin around my stomach but smoking weed has not hindered or promoted my weight loss.

Nice! With three years behind you, it is more than a trend.

I wouldn't think so, as long as you are careful. Don't smoke before you work out and be careful of the munchies.
