[NSV] Got super high but stayed on the wagon (though barely)

Made the mistake of getting really high last night and not having any keto friendly snacks around when I eventually got hungry. This has happened before and I normally crack and gorge myself on the carb loaded snacks I have for my kids. This time I stayed strong and didn't drop off the wagon! As someone whose willpower is less than stellar, this is a huge accomplishment for me.

It's legal in my state now, so I've been tempted to try some... but I remember the munchies of my ill-spent youth and have been afraid that Satan's cabbage would lead me back down the path of obesity.

Maybe I'll give it a try...

At least for me, my convictions carry through the high. I binge on keto snacks. I invented pork rinds and cream cheese one night! Salted mixed nuts are also good!

Wow you invented rinds and cheese!? That's like the keto equivalent of Graham crackers and peanut butter.

Which my dad invented.

LOL I've been doing keto two weeks and I've already put two and two together. It's a good combo!

My favorite is slices of summer sausage spread with cream cheese and topped with a slice of pickle. Getting horngry just thinking about it.

Does horngry mean what I think it means?

You should try Sativa strains instead of Indica. Indica strains tend to make you hungry and less active, where Sativa is more heady and energetic.

Came to comment exactly this. I notice a huge difference in my “munchie” symptoms when i smoke an indica or hybrid versus a sativa.

I saw a a documentary that reported strains high in THC-V (African sativas like durbin poison and the haze family) actually suppress appetite and increase energy.

I'm a pothead and I love being on keto stoned! Though it's challenging it gets easier!

Feel the same way. When I get baked I remember that I'm on a new path of eating and feel better about myself. An hour later tho, it can be excruciating.

You guys smoking, or edibles?

2
Cosmos_Midst•

Smoking. Wish I had edibles tho!

Blunts & bongs baby

Nice! I've started doing 48hr fasts over the weekend and it's weird but whenever I get hungry smoking and drinking water actually satiate me. (A/B tested with just water and wasn't as effective)

I thought this was just me, phew.

This is my biggest challenge. I smoke daily (also in a legal state) and I will have a pep talk before I begin. "OK, we're gonna avoid carbs and stick to keto. Right?"

Then, 10 minutes later I'm eating M&M cookies and downing milk. I can't get rid of the stuff because other people in the house eat/buy it, and setting out keto snacks doesn't seem to help either. I'm at the point where I need to either give up keto or give up cannabis, neither of which I really care to do. I'm trying again tonight :D

Try preparing them beforehand so don't get distracted or place your keto snacks in different place. Go make willpower your bitch and KCKO tonight

I actually find eating keto and smoking was a great combination. When I drank more soda and consumed carbs a lot, my blood sugar was all over the place, and if I was high it would feel awful. Eating typical munchies would only increase the crash. I would get insane amounts of anxiety and sometimes anxiety attacks.

I started eating keto while smoking and none of that happens anymore. My body feels stabilized and full of enough energy to do fun shit while stoned. It's a bit strange when my friends are working their way through a pizza and I'm broccoli and chicken, but for some reason I'm the only one who isn't feeling gross and bloated later :P

I just crushed this challenge as well!! Go us!!!

Ugh, I had insane munchies the other night and went over calories BUT on keto friendly snacks thankfully.

Wow. I just realized if I want to long term fast I can just get really high and be too lazy to eat 😂

I usually plan out and log all of my stoner snacking. I usually use edibles that take a min of 30 mins to kick in. Once I pop those I get to work. Last night I made myself a platter of different cheeses, meats, nuts, cheese cake fluff, sugar free jello and 99% chocolate ( about 1300 calories, 16g carbs and 4g fibre). I then put it in the fridge and grab it maybe a hour or so later.
While I did go over my calories for the day, I was still at 20g net carbs.

Brocolli with italian herb spice is fucking dank for munchies.

Same for me last night. Luckily there was chicken and asparagus leftover in the fridge

Alcohol gives me the munchies way more than pot does. For me, alcohol related munchies are not to be taken lightly

Totally! I️ finally just stopped drinking because the lie I️ would tell myself about only two glasses and no cheat eating never worked out.

Im with others: do a bit of research into the strain to minimize munchies. I find preparing a big dish of celery and blue cheese dip (blue cheese + mayo) in advance works wonders. Pre-keto I was a big drinker (spirits) but have found a bit of the herb works nicely as a zero-carb alternative.

Wuuut?! I’d never seen it before. Haha.

Sound like a fun wagon.

Sweet! I used the munchies to fuel my keto rip! The 2 work together very well. Eat keto aligned to your heart's content. Weed supposedly lowers insulin in some studies and i believe it. It worked for me!

I use my homemade cannaoil with my ghee butter for cooking or pour it on food: a great mellow mix! Next time I get my MCT oil I'll make the cannaoil with that.
