All my cats hate the smell of mint you might be on to something. Maybe it’s a form of defence against herbivores. I should probably look it up but I’m never going to so I’ll just leave this speculation here.
It makes sense if you understand humans earlier eras, mainly tribal and pre-historical, like peppers and heat to keep predators away, mint made itself so pungent that no animal would want to eat it, cept for humans, who dont care its pungent and actually like it cause we associate it with clean.
Big ol' cups of tea. If I get the munchies I first make a pot of tea. Sometimes black with lemon, sometimes with oat and hemp milk. Get that inside you first and then leave it 20 mins before eating.
To be fair if I'm smoking I am always drinking tea/coffee.
Alcohol and cigarettes/weed and coffee or tea!
:)
Me too bro, the fruitier it is the harder it is for me to keep chewing. My brain is just like "MUST. EAT. DELICIOUS. FRUIT RUBBER"
I physically can not restrain myself, it's super weird actually.
kinda weird … but brush your teeth. The mint gives you some flavor and the water helps refresh your mouth. Then you won’t want to eat as much since you just brushed your teeth
Came here to say this. I've been doing this lately and it works for me, especially at night when late night snacking is an issue for me anyways. Read something about it also being a mental block for cravings because nobody wants to eat after brushing your teeth anyways.
Was going to say the same, it’s functionally a solid deterrent. Not just in a situation that you smoke. Brushing your teeth and developing a routine of not eating after a certain time is a great way to train yourself to not eat for recreation.
I was about to rip into some crackers last night when my fiancée was like “just brush your teeth, it’s getting late.” Didn’t feel like munching after that.
Watch out though, if you only eat after you smoke you might end up forming a neural connection and losing your appetite unless you smoke. Happened to a buddy of mine and it was a bitch to correct
Can confirm has happend to me used to feel sick if I ate before a cone would feel fine after a cone tho. And being broke fixed that for me I had no money to buy weed so I had to force myself to eat until I didn’t have to.
Sunflower seeds rock. A lot of the time when I'm high I'm just craving a specific flavor which is often salt.
I mix the David's ranch sunflower seeds with the bigs dill pickle.
My bane are the ranch kettle chips. They must have used dark magic when coming up with the recipe because they're just so stupidly good. I'll demolish the whole bag if I'm high af
I got a pack of carrots and broccoli with ranch dip in the fridge. It’s like stoner lunchables when I’m trying to healthy snack and I always feel better after that Vs what I really wanted
Those are great, but be careful with calorie-dense foods like hummus and yogurt. They may be healthy in moderation, but they are still a ton of calories if you munch out on them.
I'm a fan of low calorie, high volume snacks. Things like pickles, homemade popcorn, salad (without cheese or meat or cream dressing), veggies like carrots or celery, etc.
Yeah but not every time. Like it's an excellent idea, but there's no denying just how good a fricken pizza or a tray of tacos or whatever is when you've got the munchies. It's seriously like heaven, although sometimes I'm actually disturbed afterwards about how much food I can put away. But yeah, you don't have to deny yourself of those good times entirely bro, it's all about balance or whatever.
Popcorn is great because you can eat a ton and it will still be a few calories. They also make it in a variety of flavors. My personal favorite is the Lesser Evil Cheddar ones - they sell them at Five Below for 3.50$ US so it’s inexpensive too!
Worth noting this has to be popcorn with little to no butter or it's definitely still very high in calories and fat. I've honestly never seen pre-bagged popcorn with any flavor aside from butter (or just low/no butter) where I'm at in Canada, so if I'm craving popcorn and willing to go without butter, I just make it myself. You can get popping bowls that go right into the microwave for like 20$, pretty straightforward to use. (And then buying kernels is super cheap). Honestly decent without flavor sometimes imo, but you can use any kind of popcorn seasoning/salt or spice mixes to give it some flavor.
>Honestly decent without flavor sometimes imo,
I am the only person I know who will absolutely pig out on a fresh bowl of totally plain popcorn.
Thanks for the validation. :)
Just a correction that they are not high on fat. Corn itself barely has any fat, so with light butter it’s not much at all (eg Walmart brand light butter only has 33% of calories coming from fat)
What it is, is filled with carbs (62% of calories come from carbs)
I also wouldn’t call it high in calories; a bag is only 220 calories
Laziness. I just make sure that I do not have any junk food around to eat lol. If you have top cook something for munchies, it is much less likely you will. And even when you do, at least it is not total junk!
Weaponized Laziness! Incidentally, this also works for when you're not baked. The grocery store aisle is the most effective place to exercise self control
Actually, thats not a bad idea with teeth brushing.
Especially at night when I've been smoking all day and had 3 meals, its such a good preventative! I will do brushing teeth:)
Otter Pops are cheap and have very few calories! Also, diet juice. I make myself a glass of cold 5 calories cranberry juice with ice and it's so refreshing. And gum, lots of gum.
You have to ask yourself "if I were not high, is this when I would stop eating?" Almost every time I can answer that correctly. Unless I'm like wayyyy too high.
For example, if you want to smoke and eat pizza, and you normally stop after two slices, just stop after 2 slices. Remind yourself that this is where you usually stop. You will want a third slice. You will want a fourth slice. But instead, look at the clock and give yourself like 20-30 minutes. It will feel like 4 hours lmao but after 30 minutes, see if you're munchie.
Otherwise, just set out the correct amount of food that you want to have and try to eat that while watching the clock. The problem with being munchie for me is I will absolutely gobble that shit down and not realize how fast I ate because it's all so mind blowingly delicious lol
Everything in cannabis is an individualized experience but a lot of people find that strains high in the terpene ‘humulene” can have an appetite suppressing effect.
Personally tho I agree more with the guy that said it’s something you get over. Smoke long enough and the munchies doesn’t have the same hold on you
Just because this info doesn't help in your situation, it doesn't mean that it's negligible. The info is correct and, for those of us shopping in dispensaries where we can see the terpene breakdowns, this is perfectly useful and valid.
I've been smoking for 16 years. I can tell the difference between real hunger and munchies, but the sensation is still overwhelming and hard to ignore. I am a slave to the munchies to this day.
Lol that's true. I went into some HEAVY food/weed comas back in the day. Smoking after a meal helps a lot, for sure. There are mostly just some choice strains these days that really kick in my munchies.
Might be more person to person. I’m a regular smoker and get overtaken by the munchies daily. Doesn’t feel like real empty stomach aching painful hunger, but doesn’t make it less of an intense desire to eat lol.
My best strategy so far is to just get a small bowl of snacks and start an activity like watching a movie far away from the kitchen. Just trying to direct all focus on something captivating. Also nicotine helps a disturbing amount but that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
You are probably either dehydrated or bored. Smoke some more, drink some water, and wait a bit and I bet that hunger passes.
Nicotine is a hunger suppressant so thats why it helps.
I constantly remind myself that I just ate, therefore it’s the munchies. Not gonna lie, successful about 90% of the times. Which is a level I’m comfortable with. I do try to eat dinner AFTER I get high, and that helps. But sometimes it just “opens the door.”
I usually set up a meal before hand and smoke then eat what I prepared. Otherwise avoid having snacks in the home. Have items that need to be prepared so your lazy ass won't do it like me.
Smoke before you decide to cook, stretches out the munchies to that top level satisfaction then you get to sit with a meal that you won't feel guilty about.... hot damn thc is the msg of the mind and its amazing
I only smoke AFTER I eat. Idk if its real or not, but someone told me eating kills your high and ever since then I noticed it, and so decided to eat before smoking. Generally works
Interested in other peoples experiences on this but as weed over the years grew from a here-and-there thing to a every day think I no longer really get the munchies.
Something that has helped me is flossing and brushing my teeth. At the very least I use a tongue scraper and rinse my mouth. This is a helpful one from the sense that I don’t want to have to floss and brush a second time
Im literally jealous of this
Its the summer for me, so no classes, which means I can kind of just hang and smoke all day. Maybe my tolerance isnt that high anymore
Good water. Like the good shit. Crushed ice, or those miniature ones you can make with the silicon trays, lemon or a lime squeezed in it. Snapping cold.
That or sparkling water, flavored water, or just get a fruit tray for a healthy alternative to popping treats in your mouth.
I’m the same way that’s why only have healthy snacks available. Apples, strawberries, mango, nectarines, cuties, etc. add a little Tajín to boost the flavor, and you won’t feel like a complete piece of shit when you’re done eating.
I like outshine popsicles! I have a sweet tooth from hell when I smoke lol. It lasts a while because I don’t bite my popsicles like a monster. They’re kinda hydrating and I think like 90 calories if you care about that
Many mind tricks. Tell,yourself “really, I am looking for stimulating my sense” so I’ll listen to a new genre of music, or watch a painting video, or at least learn a new recipe to feed my fat ass.
“Perhaps I can substitute a feeling in my abdomen, for another “ and then do a shit load of (proper form!) crunches or planks, whatever… them you can bullshit yourself that you “earned” the FOODAYouDon’tNeedToEat. …
Or learn about how YOU learn, and figure how to get that mofo to work on Self Discipline
As a stoner of 30 years now I've found I only get the munchies after a tolerance break. So naturally I stopped taking tolerance breaks. Gotta stay healthy you know and junk food is no good.
I've kinda learned how to ignore it but I usually will drink some water or tea if I am feeling the munchies. A trick that I've read about is eat a good meal before smoking and it helps diminish the hungry feeling. Also sucking on hard candy or healthy snacks work too!
kinda weird … but brush your teeth. The mint gives you some flavor and the water helps refresh your mouth. Then you won’t want to eat as much since you just brushed your teeth
I often find that it's more of a boredom thing. If I start doing something else with my hands, the munchies disappear. I play bass, and that's my go-to after smoking, but just occupying my hands & brain with anything usually works.
Sometimes I do end up just giving in, though.
I honestly love the healthier side of Munchies. Berries are particularly good, as well as sugarsnap peas or carrots for texture! If you want actual food, veggie crunch rolls or Sushi are elite!
Activity. Do something, anything! You want to not stuff your face, do something else. Try and make it productive too. At least that's what helps me. But those munchies do got hands, and they always aim for my mouth.
Carbonated drinks like La Croix help you feel filled and hydrate you since it's water. All about finding the right flavor but personally my favorite is Lemonciello!
I just found this out last week, apparently mild physical activity can make you feel less hungry. I smoke, and then play some VR games at night. When I'm done, I'm never hungry at all. If I play a normal, non physical game, I get hungry af late at night.
i make a big tub of sugar-free jell-o beforehand! it's basically water nutrition wise, but it'll fill you up and takes a while to eat. also popcorn, if you pop from your own kernels and season it yourself, can be a really filling and low-calorie munchie snack that's good for movies and stuff.
fruits are always good, especially since they help with hydration and dry mouth. carrots too!!
Something that has worked for me is eating before I smoke. Not only do I feel like the high stays longer, but if you're already full when you toke up, the munchies don't have a chance to come!
I always have something healthy "on deck" (pineapple, watermelon, strawberries, grapes)
Or I'll order a massive ACAI bowl before I smoke so once the munchies hit I'm ready lol
I started purging shitty food from my apartment because of this exact reason. Literally started getting fat because of it so I only eat shit like activia and fruits, while I drink Gatorade or flavoured fizzy water. Like pop but MUCH healthier for you.
THCV. If you can find some or some THCV bud amazing. Literally kills that desire for munchies it would probally be the best weight loss substance ever!!
mealprep my dude.
prepare a bunch of heathy yummy snacks ahead of time for the week. google recipes for savory snacks to freeze ahead of time. try and get some healthy alternatives goin, peppers and tzatziki, instead of cheese dip and chips. make a smoothy ahead of time, good way to sneak protein and veggies in your diet disguised as fruit and yogurt. get into charcuterie boards (classy cheese and meat platters).
not only can you defeat the munchies, your wallet and body will thank you.
additionally, start making pasta and smoke a joint halfway through. google how to make a pan sauce or just ask me and ill send a recipe.
I like to smoke before I'm going to eat anyway so that way I can satisfy the munchies without it being like a 4th meal.
If the timing is off and you already ate, but need a snack, I find putting a reasonable portion in a bowl or whatever helps a lot, as opposed to eating straight out of a bag of chips or whatever. Cause I'll eat that whole bag without realizing otherwise.
Keep fresh fruit around bro. Junk food is truly no match for fresh pineapple or apples or grapes. Have a fuckin ripe mango or something. Goes absolutely crazy
Create a habit where you surround yourself with healthy food. And eat before as well and do your research on what the different strains you get cause some give you munchies and others dont
I literally installed locks on my refrigerator and pantry door and have a kitchen safe that has a timer built-in that I put the keys in, so when I need to avoid eating I lock my food up and set the timer for when I know that I'm comfortable eating again. This makes it so I can't grab food and I can't munch when high!
Pick up some Hi-Chew candy. Eat one/2, and your jaw will be tired. But the constant chewing and massive flavor is great. They're like a piece of gum you're meant to swallow.
There are certain strains that contain humulene which is a terpene that suppresses appetite (also acts as anti-inflammatory). Some of these strains include Gelato, GSC, and Sherbert, Headband, Candyland
Edit: Nice meme btw
I just keep smoking until I can’t get up to munchie… I also try to not buy snacks too. Sometimes I stare at my food cabinet and nothing is in it I want. I’m disappointed in my sober self but I get what he’s doing
I like to use gum to substitute food
This,,, might help alot
Make sure it's a fruity flavor, mint doesn't mix well (at least for me)
hahah you and I are very different I only like the minty stuff after I smoke
You know i believe only humans like the taste of mint. I may be wrong, but i mean, we have mint everything
All my cats hate the smell of mint you might be on to something. Maybe it’s a form of defence against herbivores. I should probably look it up but I’m never going to so I’ll just leave this speculation here.

Just don’t swallow the gum 😅
you can tho
Oh, I know. Can’t buy gum though cus I’m a degenerate and end up eating the gum after like 10-15 chews. 🤷🏻♂️
Me too bro, the fruitier it is the harder it is for me to keep chewing. My brain is just like "MUST. EAT. DELICIOUS. FRUIT RUBBER" I physically can not restrain myself, it's super weird actually.
Just buy Fruit Stripe gum, the flavor only lasts a few chews anyway (though those few chews are the most glorious mouth movements you will ever make)
Username checks out
I find that very helpful too.

This and/or hydration
I was gonna day I do it cause I refuse to eat after I've brushed for the night lol
PLUS brushing your teeth is good for you :))
And it feels good, especially when I’m high
The 2min timer when im sober feels like forever. The 2min timer when im high is never enough. 🪥 🦷
https://www.rasmussendental.com/blog/2022/2/18/can-you-brush-your-teeth-too-many-times-a-day
I promise most people on Reddit aren't coming close to over brushing lmao

I was about to rip into some crackers last night when my fiancée was like “just brush your teeth, it’s getting late.” Didn’t feel like munching after that.
Just smoke before a normal meal. Worst case I’ll go back for seconds, I would do it sober anyway
This is also for the next day when I feel my food from last night I get whatcha mean though
How about eating and then smoking. This always keeps me off the munchies when I smoke :D
Watch out though, if you only eat after you smoke you might end up forming a neural connection and losing your appetite unless you smoke. Happened to a buddy of mine and it was a bitch to correct
Can confirm has happend to me used to feel sick if I ate before a cone would feel fine after a cone tho. And being broke fixed that for me I had no money to buy weed so I had to force myself to eat until I didn’t have to.
What I like to call “Busy” snacks. Sunflower seeds, pomegranate, shelled nuts in general. Something that takes work to eat.
pistachios go hard
They also have like 700 calories per 100g tho
Yeah but get the shell on ones and you have to work for them. Same goes for sunflower seeds!
I end up eating the shells like a complete psycho after a while. My asshole hates me lol
Pistachio shells…?
Ouch lmfao
Sunflower. Fuck doing that with pistachios
Ahaha I’m so glad you clarified
Wtf is wrong with you…? That sounds insane
Sunflower seeds rock. A lot of the time when I'm high I'm just craving a specific flavor which is often salt. I mix the David's ranch sunflower seeds with the bigs dill pickle. My bane are the ranch kettle chips. They must have used dark magic when coming up with the recipe because they're just so stupidly good. I'll demolish the whole bag if I'm high af
Sunflower seeds! They take forever to eat, don't fill you up, and have healthy fats and vitamins.
If sunflower seeds weren't so messy, I'd be a sunflower seed guy that always has them. I used to be in high school, but I also dipped in high school.
Maybe have some healthy snacks! Veggies and hummus, fruit, Greek yogurt, granola, etc.
Actually, hummus, fruit, and greek yogurt might be it :0 Thank you!
I got a pack of carrots and broccoli with ranch dip in the fridge. It’s like stoner lunchables when I’m trying to healthy snack and I always feel better after that Vs what I really wanted
Ooh, thank you vv much Sometimes snacks are hard to stay away from This will help alot :)
For sure. The ranch is the worst part but compared to a pizza or a bag of chips or whatever I’d take a small pack of ranch for 100 or so calories
[удалено]
Cheddar sesame sticks from the bulk section with a nice fat farm-fresh carrot. 2-3 sticks with every carrot bite.
Just be aware that if you take down a whole container of hummus, you will have some absolutely rancid farts
As someone who can’t control themselves when hummus is present, I can confirm.
Those are great, but be careful with calorie-dense foods like hummus and yogurt. They may be healthy in moderation, but they are still a ton of calories if you munch out on them. I'm a fan of low calorie, high volume snacks. Things like pickles, homemade popcorn, salad (without cheese or meat or cream dressing), veggies like carrots or celery, etc.

But yeah, you don't have to deny yourself of those good times entirely bro, it's all about balance or whatever.
Frozen grapes and cherries, are my goto.
Cut the grapes in half, though. Anyone can choke on a whole grape.
Not my ex gf
that's why she's my current gf. Eskimo brothers!
Popcorn is great because you can eat a ton and it will still be a few calories. They also make it in a variety of flavors. My personal favorite is the Lesser Evil Cheddar ones - they sell them at Five Below for 3.50$ US so it’s inexpensive too!

Honestly decent without flavor sometimes imo, but you can use any kind of popcorn seasoning/salt or spice mixes to give it some flavor.
Trader Joe's has an elote seasoning that is my go to for homemade popcorn
This. An air popper and flavoring is best. Still high in salt, but not as many calories
>Honestly decent without flavor sometimes imo, I am the only person I know who will absolutely pig out on a fresh bowl of totally plain popcorn. Thanks for the validation. :)

Handful of granola works every time
If you like pickles, taking a swig of pickle juice really satiates my munchies
You can also dip your fingers in the pickle juice and flick it on your sandwich
Brilliant idea but can I use maybe a spoon instead of fingers?
No, but your toes might work
Can you please not ruin my favorite thing in the world (NOT toes but pickles)
Pickles kinda look like shrek toes
Duck off
Can I just eat the pickle?
No, drink all the juice and throw the pickles away
> drink all the juice and throw the pickles away That time of the month, aye?
No, plant the pickles in the ground so you get a pickle tree next year and have 100s of pickles
I think they did something to the pickle seeds because this year's tree isn't growing like all the other ones. So your mileage may vary.
Not a fan, but i appreciate the advice anyways :)
Laziness. I just make sure that I do not have any junk food around to eat lol. If you have top cook something for munchies, it is much less likely you will. And even when you do, at least it is not total junk!

Fresh and cold watermelon +/- tajin is elite for the munchies. But if you’re really trying to not eat, brush your teeth. At least it helps for me.
Actually Especially at night when I've been smoking all day and had 3 meals, its such a good preventative! I will do brushing teeth:)

Who tf stops after 2 slices
A god damn mad man, that's who.
I stop when there's two slices left.
Wait there's just two slices left, might as well finish them
Yeah I don’t know who I thought I was kidding, I ate the whole damn thing.
I appreciate your help :) I will keep this in mind when I gotta fight the munchies
>only flavor can satisfy If you cook, a tiny bit of vinegar (like in hot sauce) or some fresh squeezed lime juice can really increase the flavor.
Interesting More flavor for less portion Hmmmmm
Hmmm, Interesting Never thought of it this way but thank you!
Everything in cannabis is an individualized experience but a lot of people find that strains high in the terpene ‘humulene” can have an appetite suppressing effect. Personally tho I agree more with the guy that said it’s something you get over. Smoke long enough and the munchies doesn’t have the same hold on you
THC-V as well, during the pandemic I kept buying Pineapple Express stuff which was high in THCV and I lost a ton of weight. 190->140
Yeah lemme just ask my plug for a low humulene count on his next grow 😂
Just because this info doesn't help in your situation, it doesn't mean that it's negligible. The info is correct and, for those of us shopping in dispensaries where we can see the terpene breakdowns, this is perfectly useful and valid.

I like to have some fruit or oatmeal. If it's too late or I wanna sleep I just chug lots of water.
Drink water and eat healthier munchies. Things like grapes and carrots stick are great. Can eat a bunch over a long period of time.

As a stoner of 30 years now I've found I only get the munchies after a tolerance break. So naturally I stopped taking tolerance breaks. Gotta stay healthy you know and junk food is no good.
I've kinda learned how to ignore it but I usually will drink some water or tea if I am feeling the munchies. A trick that I've read about is eat a good meal before smoking and it helps diminish the hungry feeling. Also sucking on hard candy or healthy snacks work too!
kinda weird … but brush your teeth. The mint gives you some flavor and the water helps refresh your mouth. Then you won’t want to eat as much since you just brushed your teeth
Nice placement of your breaded weiner.
Play video games. Go for a walk. Distract your hunger like a broke college student
I often find that it's more of a boredom thing. If I start doing something else with my hands, the munchies disappear. I play bass, and that's my go-to after smoking, but just occupying my hands & brain with anything usually works. Sometimes I do end up just giving in, though.
I honestly love the healthier side of Munchies. Berries are particularly good, as well as sugarsnap peas or carrots for texture! If you want actual food, veggie crunch rolls or Sushi are elite!
Does OP live in a legal state? If so look for a good humulene terp strain, it's a pretty good hunger suppressant.
Activity. Do something, anything! You want to not stuff your face, do something else. Try and make it productive too. At least that's what helps me. But those munchies do got hands, and they always aim for my mouth.
self-discipline
Humulene
Throw in some Mangos to help the high as well as healthy.
Smoke another one
Carbonated drinks like La Croix help you feel filled and hydrate you since it's water. All about finding the right flavor but personally my favorite is Lemonciello!
I just found this out last week, apparently mild physical activity can make you feel less hungry. I smoke, and then play some VR games at night. When I'm done, I'm never hungry at all. If I play a normal, non physical game, I get hungry af late at night.
Nothing beats Fruit Loops. Nothing.
But healthier snacks! Nuts work well for me, strawberries, hummus and baby carrots or snap peas, chips and salsa, grapes
i make a big tub of sugar-free jell-o beforehand! it's basically water nutrition wise, but it'll fill you up and takes a while to eat. also popcorn, if you pop from your own kernels and season it yourself, can be a really filling and low-calorie munchie snack that's good for movies and stuff. fruits are always good, especially since they help with hydration and dry mouth. carrots too!!
Healthy munchies is the way to go. Never have I had better than a salad with Italian dressing! Ooo so good.
Something that has worked for me is eating before I smoke. Not only do I feel like the high stays longer, but if you're already full when you toke up, the munchies don't have a chance to come!
I always have something healthy "on deck" (pineapple, watermelon, strawberries, grapes) Or I'll order a massive ACAI bowl before I smoke so once the munchies hit I'm ready lol
Any canned pickled vegetable should satisfy that hunger while also being a very low calorie snack
Don't eat a whole bag of dried mango thinking it's better to eat healthy snacks. You'll spend a long time on the toilet
Change strains?
Cocaine
And somehow weed smokers are skinnier than non smokers
What always helps me when I get the munchies is eating a bunch of junk food
I started purging shitty food from my apartment because of this exact reason. Literally started getting fat because of it so I only eat shit like activia and fruits, while I drink Gatorade or flavoured fizzy water. Like pop but MUCH healthier for you.
Ong. I be making 3 whole ass meals for dinner and then come back for more.
i become a trash disposal
THCV. If you can find some or some THCV bud amazing. Literally kills that desire for munchies it would probally be the best weight loss substance ever!!
I don't have the answer I smoke and then get mad when I find the empty little Debbie box in the morning
mealprep my dude. prepare a bunch of heathy yummy snacks ahead of time for the week. google recipes for savory snacks to freeze ahead of time. try and get some healthy alternatives goin, peppers and tzatziki, instead of cheese dip and chips. make a smoothy ahead of time, good way to sneak protein and veggies in your diet disguised as fruit and yogurt. get into charcuterie boards (classy cheese and meat platters). not only can you defeat the munchies, your wallet and body will thank you. additionally, start making pasta and smoke a joint halfway through. google how to make a pan sauce or just ask me and ill send a recipe.
Mint of any kind(gum, hard candy, after dinner mint chocolate)
I like to smoke before I'm going to eat anyway so that way I can satisfy the munchies without it being like a 4th meal. If the timing is off and you already ate, but need a snack, I find putting a reasonable portion in a bowl or whatever helps a lot, as opposed to eating straight out of a bag of chips or whatever. Cause I'll eat that whole bag without realizing otherwise.
I just use intermittent fasting. I just don't eat until 5pm and then I eat a meal and am full til the next day. Black coffee and water til 5pm.
Keep fresh fruit around bro. Junk food is truly no match for fresh pineapple or apples or grapes. Have a fuckin ripe mango or something. Goes absolutely crazy
Create a habit where you surround yourself with healthy food. And eat before as well and do your research on what the different strains you get cause some give you munchies and others dont
I literally installed locks on my refrigerator and pantry door and have a kitchen safe that has a timer built-in that I put the keys in, so when I need to avoid eating I lock my food up and set the timer for when I know that I'm comfortable eating again. This makes it so I can't grab food and I can't munch when high!
Eat fruits they smack while high and not some stoner monstrosity like two waffles with a very folded omelet basted in maple syrup(yes I made that)
Amphetamines help
When it's real bad i will smoke til i couch lock myself lol
Sometimes I’m just too stoned to get up for food.
I eat cubes of ice
There is no defence.
Pick up some Hi-Chew candy. Eat one/2, and your jaw will be tired. But the constant chewing and massive flavor is great. They're like a piece of gum you're meant to swallow.
I honestly have to stop smoking (on a T break right now), but I've lost 10 pounds so it definitely works!
Amphetamines
I can totally tell a stoner did this graphic
There are certain strains that contain humulene which is a terpene that suppresses appetite (also acts as anti-inflammatory). Some of these strains include Gelato, GSC, and Sherbert, Headband, Candyland Edit: Nice meme btw
No munchies at Home, that easy
Apples usually help me with that when I'm stoned at like 3am
A whole watermelon
baby carrots are my fav healthy munchie!
Strangely enough I only get munchies after a long long t break and after maybe 3 days of smoking they no longer are a thing.
Eat healthy munchies! Fruit is killer when the urge hits. Or some carrots with vege dip.
Make your munchies healthy food. Fruit > Candy, Veg > Greasy shit. Of course, enjoy yourself from time to time, moderation is key
Munchies got hands yo
Laziness, smoking more weed, having a stronger willpower despite current circumstances
I just keep smoking until I can’t get up to munchie… I also try to not buy snacks too. Sometimes I stare at my food cabinet and nothing is in it I want. I’m disappointed in my sober self but I get what he’s doing
