M/29/6’4” [265 lbs > 272 lbs = 7 lbs gained] (12/21 - 1/22, 1 month) I’ve been working out about 4-5 times a week, trying to be better about what I’m eating and what time I’m eating, but I keep getting stoned and eating cookies at 3 in the morning.

Introduction

In a recent Reddit post, user DyingRats shared their struggle with losing weight while getting high. Despite working out 4-5 times a week and making an effort to eat better, they keep finding themselves munching on high-calorie snacks late at night.

The Munchies

The munchies are a well-known side effect of smoking weed, and they can be a real obstacle for those trying to lose weight. DyingRats' experience is all too common, as it can be difficult to resist the temptation of indulging in unhealthy snacks when in a high state of mind.

Finding Alternatives

Fortunately, many helpful Redditors shared their own tips and tricks for resisting the munchies. Suggestions ranged from filling up on lower-calorie snacks like popcorn and fruit to staying hydrated with water. Some even recommended freezing fruit to make it more satisfying to eat.

Making Changes

DyingRats took the advice to heart, buying low-calorie snacks like Halo Top ice cream and drinkable Greek yogurt to replace their go-to cookies. While it can be tough to stick to a weight loss plan and resist the munchies, making small changes like these can make a big difference.

Conclusion
