Do you love weed but hate the nibbles?

Cannabis has so many benefits, from emotional or physical pain to spiritual exploration. However, for people who may be plagued by a few extra pounds, there is one downside to cannabis – THE MUNCHIES!

This was trending in a marijuana community –

Help.

I’ve been an avid pot smoker for 18 years, but I can’t find anything stopping me from falling into a feeding frenzy. What are some of the options on weed that will get you where you need to be but without the nibbles?

Fortunately, this online community has helped and shared some of their personal tricks to help beat the nibbles. In the following article, we’re going to examine some of the best tips I’ve seen and some of my own.

Smoke before eating

This approach combats the nibbles by not fighting them at all but by using them in your favor. It simply means that you need to plan when you will decide to smoke in order to take advantage of this natural side effect.

Personally, I like to smoke while cooking a good meal for two reasons;

1. It helps me enjoy the experience of cooking

2. I have an appetite after cooking. When I’m not smoking, I’m usually not interested in eating after cooking for at least an hour. So I can smoke and eat with my family. Yum!

This is definitely a smart way to deal with unhealthy nibbles – but you still give in to the nibbles. Others suggested going the Turkey way!

Go on a radical detox!

“I broke that cold turkey habit, I just quit one day, it wasn’t that difficult.

The key is not even to eat a bit because once you start it’s hard to stop. ”- Some guy on Reddit

Personally, I don’t think you have to be this drastic, but some people find that the challenge of denying yourself this short-lived pleasure is the way to break the habit. If it works, it works!

The person is right, however, nibbles are compulsive behavior – you start with a donut and suddenly you nibble a few more just to be safe.

If you are going to cold turkey and want to test your determination, I would recommend being as religious as possible. However, this can start to worsen your high as you will always starve yourself after consuming it.

That’s not fun!

Healthy Nibbles!

One of the best ways to beat the nibbles is to properly plan the nibbles. The biggest problem with the nibbles isn’t that you’re hungry, but rather that you don’t want to chew on sugary, high-calorie junk.

Instead, you can prepare for the nibbles by placing healthy foods in your refrigerator – ready to be consumed in seconds.

For example, make a bowl of roasted peanuts with dried cranberries. Cut the carrot pieces, celery stalks and jicama into small pieces and place in small Tupperware containers in the refrigerator.

You can also make nutritional snacks like cocoa with some organic peanut butter, ground nuts, and desiccated coconut – roll them into balls and put them in the freezer. This shit is amazing!

These superfoods will help you overcome your cravings by simply giving your body super nutrient-rich snacks that will fuel your energy levels with all the essentials you need.

There was a season when I drank smoothies for my nibbles every day, just raw organic stuff – I felt INCREDIBLE.

I should definitely come back to that!

Smoke away from the source

One person suggested that in order to defeat the nibbles, one should just make it harder to stick to. Finally, a compulsion can be reduced if you increase the effort to comply.

For example, only smoke in the forest – away from people and away from businesses. Or lock the refrigerator. Or put your favorite snacks out of reach – all to increase the level of difficulty.

This works for procrastination, but personally I think this is too much of an effort to be a sustainable practice. What if it rains Are you going to run into the woods to get yourself up? Of course not, you will likely hang out at home – which means you face the same problem. If women get more nibbles than men after using cannabis, check out this science!

Wait 10 minutes and be careful

This is one of my personal tricks that has worked for me in the past. Since chewing can be a compulsive habit, this little trick can be used to hack your mind.

Essentially, when you want to munch – just stop what you’re doing, set an alarm for 10 minutes, and just watch your condition.

See what you crave and question it – will this help me or not? Do i really need it? Is there anything better I can do?

Usually by the end of the 10 minutes you will have reduced the intensity of the compulsion and then can make a conscious decision as to whether or not to get involved.

The trick is not to deny yourself – but to become aware of your compulsions. By doing this, you can break free of “automatic responses” and stop becoming a slave to the body. The level of leptin in the body is one of the reasons some people get more nibbles than others.

Sometimes you screw it up – and that’s perfectly fine!

But the more you practice “mindful Munich”, the better you will identify the underlying programs that determine a large part of your behavior.

This isn’t just limited to weed, however – you can use this trick for anything from gaming to porn, tobacco smoking, or any other problem you have. A little mindfulness helps!

Sticky ground

At the end of the day, you have few options to deal with the nibbles;

1. Smoking and eating (meals)

2. Get Healthier Snacks!

3. Deny Yourself “The Cold Turkey Method!”

4. Make compliance more difficult

5. Pay attention to your behavior

Additionally, the only other way to deal with nibbles is not to have them – which means not to smoke weed. Others have suggested that CBD high weed reduce nibbles – I’m not entirely sure, but it could be an additional option.
