Does smoking weed cause weight loss?

A friend of mine smokes weed regularly and is always very thin. She claims it helps her stay in shape. Is it true, does smoking weed cause weight loss?

Yes, it definitely can suppress normal daytime appetite for some. Please try to eat balanced meals at fixed times anyway.

I recently went through a phase where I was smoking up daily and lost nearly 6 kgs because I completely lost my appetite during the day. Once I quit, my normal hunger returned, and I am finally back to a healthy weight now.

Unexplained weight loss can be a sign of fluctuating glucose levels or metabolic strain. As someone with diabetes, I strongly advise not using substances that mess with your metabolic rate and regular meal timings.

My family physician explained that chronic cannabis use can alter gut motility and lead to cannabinoid hyperemesis symptoms, which drastically reduces food intake and causes weight loss. It is a clinical concern, not a healthy way to lose weight.

I faced this exact issue a few years back. The key is to schedule your meals and not rely on 'feeling hungry' to eat. Focus on dense nutrition like nuts, dairy, and sprouts to keep your weight stable.

Bro, honestly, I lost weight when I started smoking because I was too lazy to cook and would just sleep instead of eating dinner. It's not some magic fat burner, it just messes up your routine.

If smoking weed actually made people thin safely, gyms in Mumbai would have closed down by now! Don't rely on it for your fitness goals, stick to running behind the local trains instead.
