Do Hemp Gummies Cause Weight Gain?
Introduction
You’re probably familiar with the “munchies” if you are even a little bit familiar with hemp culture.
You know that feeling when you are high and want to eat anything you see?
We can all agree, whether you’re high or low, that eating an entire bag or bag of cookies or chips is not healthy.
Not all hemp enthusiasts indulge in the munchies. Of those who do, they don’t all gorge on the worst food.
Some of us, who love hemp, also love our cookies. Our cookies. We probably should have left all of these other foods behind during those old summer holidays.
There’s something funny about hemp users: we come in all shapes and sizes.
It is still a questionable matter, however, whether or not hemp can cause weight gain.
Here’s the latest research. Find out if hemp causes you to gain or lose weight.
Why hemp Might Lead To Weight Gain
There are some valid reasons that hemp could lead to weight gain in certain people.
Hemp is not a miracle drug that will help you lose weight without effort.
Delta-9-THC is useful for stimulating appetite in people with eating disorders or cancer.
It’s possible that a ravenous hunger will follow after you smoke that joint, vape that vape, or eat those edibles.
You’ll gain weight regardless of how many marijuana sessions you fit into your day if you consume a lot of food high in calories (whether you are high or not) and do not exercise.
Some people use hemp in conjunction with an irregular diet.
If you are working from 9-5 and then showering, eating dinner, putting the kids to bed, then getting blazed at 9:30, eating all the snacks before passing out, you shouldn’t be surprised that your BMI keeps increasing.
There’s more good than bad news when it comes to hemp and your BMI.
Why hemp Might Lead To Weight Loss
You may be surprised that even though hemp is often associated with junk foods (and large quantities thereof), hemp users tend to have lower BMIs than the general public.
We can even go further and say that the latest research has shown that hemp doesn’t cause weight gain.
This fact exposes a rhetorical trick used by naysayers: suggesting that hemp users should start at fewer body weights.
The facts simply do not support this premise. Why is this the case?
Hemp is thought to boost metabolism and allow people to eat more without gaining weight.
If you are one of the hemp users that has gained weight after you started dating Miss Mary Jane, you may be able to lose weight by using high-CBD hemp.
Cannabidiol may act as a counterbalance for Delta-9-THC’s appetite-stimulating effect, helping to limit your appetite during your next session.
The very idea that Delta-9 THC causes weight gain due to an increase in appetite may have been disproven.
Researchers studied the effects of Delta-9 THC on rodents. Researchers found that mice who were given Delta-9 THC lost weight.
You’re not a mice, but you can still be a mouse.
We share 97.5% our DNA with mice. It’s therefore reasonable to assume that humans could experience similar effects and lose weight from Delta-9 THC.
Hemp and Weight Loss for People with Common Health Issues
Hemp can be a powerful tool for weight loss in people with certain medical conditions.
It may not be a secret that hemp is an effective pain reliever (even more so than opioids according to a University of California-Berkeley study).
Did you know that hemp also helps people lose weight who suffer from severe pain and muscle stiffness?
It is because hemp’s medicinal properties increase mobility, which allows people to be more physically active. This activity also burns calories. This is why you are losing weight.
What if you’re someone who has a problem with alcoholism or binge drinking? Or if you just drink a few beers or cocktails every two to three nights of the week?
All that alcohol has a lot calories. Not to mention the potential health risks, depending on how you consume alcohol.
Hemp can make it easier for some to reduce or eliminate their alcohol consumption. You’re likely to lose weight just by switching from alcohol.
Stress is another major issue that we all face from time to time, and some of us even more.
Many people find it easy to cope with stress by eating “comfort food” or overeating, even if they are calorie-rich. These patterns can cause weight gain if they become regular.
What? Hemp gives you the munchies. Will I eat more if I take hemp to relieve stress?
You might, if you’re being honest.
For some, hemp’s stress-relieving qualities are enough to cope with daily annoyances, which may lead to, say, an unhealthy diet.
What about those sleepless night? Insomnia is associated with weight gain.
Hemp has the ability to reduce or even eliminate insomnia. This means that you won’t be tempted to eat in the middle of the night.
Hemp may also help with weight loss, since cortisol is elevated when people are awake all night.
Conclusion
We don’t say that hemp is a miracle weight loss solution.
If you eat fast food worth twenty dollars every night, you will gain weight.
We’re not saying that if your doctor has recommended that you lose weight or even urged you strongly to do so, hemp will help you achieve this in a short period of time.
We are stating that for the majority of people using hemp regularly, and who don’t succumb fully to the munchies there appears to be a slight tendency towards weight loss rather than weight gain.
The best way to shed pounds is through diet and exercise. In this regard, adding a few puffs to the mix wouldn’t hurt.
Once the appetite-stimulating effects of Delta-9 THC start to appear, you can stop eating all those extra pizzas, chips, cookies, tacos and other foods in your fridge.
Uncle Frog’s Mushroom Gummies with Hemp are a great way to satisfy your craving for both good hemp and delicious food.
