14 Reasons To Quit Smoking Weed
14lbs actually from 241 to 227. I have not smoked any of that sweet sweet green in 24 days & have dropped 14lbs of fat. At least, I’m pretty sure it is fat. I’ve been lifting a lot of weights lately & have gotten stronger in these last 24 days so I don’t think I’ve lost much if any muscle.
The biggest factor in my weight loss has been no more desserts & much less sugar than when I was fulfilling my munchies with sweet treats. My discipline to intermittent fast has also been much better.
As an example of how I have been intermittent fasting, I just ate a giant meal at about 4pm after a leg workout (multiple sets of power cleans, sumo dead lifts , Romanian deadlifts, single leg step ups & box jumps). My next meal will be at 9 or 10 am tomorrow so will have a fast of 17-18 hours between meals. I don’t do this everyday, but pretty close to everyday. Once a week I will try to go a little longer up to about 22 hours.
I think it is very important to eat a lot of good food after lifting weights. Been trying to eat a lot of veggies & high quality protein. Still eating some carbs but am being very selective about them & seem to feel better the less carbs I eat.
I have no specific weight loss goal. My normal range I’ve been, since I lost a lot of old football weight (290 all time hi) is 240-215 (at 6’6) so I could probably drop another 10lbs pretty easily and would feel great but am just trying to be as strong and healthy as possible, with a lifestyle that is not too extreme & easily maintained for the long run. Lots of yoga classes & weights & walks.
There is a little more pain I’ve been feeling in my body with no thc or cbd, but I’m also probably having less overall inflammation from a cleaner diet. Sleep is the biggest thing that has suffered from no weed, but it is more incentive to be really busy in the day so I am dead tired by the time I go to bed. Everything affects everything, so it can be difficult to account for all of the different variables affecting how we feel, but I pay attention to them.
Time to wake up the dog & take him for a long walk down at the local disc golf course to help digestion & relaxation.

I’m happy to hear that your weed fast is going well and you’re feeling good. I’m a big fan of the intermittent fasting as well. The OMAD diet has worked really well for me and I find I have a lot more energy. It’s funny how digestion consumes so much energy but we are taught that we eat for energy. It’s a fine line. How’s your sweet dog doing? How old is he now?
Ya, I read the warrior diet book a long time & it made a lot of sense. I feel like I would shed a lot of weight really fast if I stuck to it. I will occasionally only eat one meal in the day.
& yes digestion takes a lot of energy, especially if the food is not clean. Was trying to make that point to a nurse last weekend, who was convinced fasting is bad for you. She was very overweight & popping ibuprofen & Tylenol all day 🤮so she wasn’t hearing anything about it.
Surprising you like the omad, most females I know seem to have a harder time fasting for physiological reasons, so you must have good discipline.
Big bubba is about 5.5 now, he’s healthy & happy as can be. My little 140lb buddy
I remember checking that book out when I worked at Borders Books in 2005. Back then, before OMAD became a thing it was looked at as crazy. Everyone was recommending lots of small meals all day long. I’ve always naturally leaned towards the warrior diet concept. I’v never been a breakfast person. Eating at the end of the day after the days “hunt” just seems right.
Do it! The weed will wait! Shit change your life and world! Right the fuck on!

Good for you man! Thanks for sharing your progress on the blockchain, youve inspired me to grow fire ass buds, now i need to get inspired and get my fat ass up to lose some weight myself, lol
That’s nice to hear, I always appreciate seeing your positivity on the blockchain.
If you can be disciplined enough to work & have a family & keep a perpetual grow going. You can surely figure out how to drop some lbs. All about what & when you eat.
This guy has a lot of good info on intermittent fasting, though he intentionally uses big words & is probably on some steroids 😂
The info is still based on good research I think

Do you play disc?
I used to play quite a bit for about 10 years, had some success as an amateur but never got good enough to make money playing pro tournaments. After a while I started getting a lot of hip inflammation when I would throw so I only play once or twice a year these days. Still walk around the course with friends who play competitively though. It is a great game
Yeah congrats! Most people notice a huge difference when they quit or cut back. I cut back a lot. But I’m pretty good at controlling my eating when I smoke. I prefer to just use a tiny amount, and it’s actually fun to try to fast while under the influence.

Using a tiny amount is the perfect way to go. You get all the benefits & the least negatives. I’m gonna try to just use a little bit soon, but my history is to abuse the shit out of it!
