Does Delta-8 THC Give you the Munchies?
Even though Delta-8 THC may be less psychoactive than Delta-9, Delta-8 THC is extremely good at giving you the munchies. Some people report that Delta-8 gives them the munchies more so than Delta-9. One thing is for sure, Delta-8 does in fact give you the munchies. However, there may be a slight silver lining to this side effect. Despite having a bad case of eating everything in sight, research strongly suggests that Delta-8 THC does improve your metabolism even in low dosages. That all being said, regardless of whether or not Delta-8 THC gives you a bad case of the munchies, we want to help you better manage your munchies if and when you have them.
Before you actually give in to your food cravings, let’s discuss ways to mediate your appetite.
Step to Avoiding the Munchies
1. Drink Water
If you are in no position to be eating, try drinking some water. Not only is it going to fill you up, it is also perfectly healthy for you! If you have been high on Delta-8, you may find yourself in a state of dehydration. Drink a few glasses of water and stay hydrated, especially when consuming Delta-8.
2. Keep Yourself Occupied
If water is not the solution you are looking for, try to keep your mind busy. Whether you are conscious of it or not, you may be thinking about food all too much. Instead, try to enjoy your Delta-8 high by winding down watching your favorite TV shows, or playing your favorite video games.
3. Brush Your Teeth
Do you ever find it difficult to eat after brushing your teeth? Bushing your teeth may be an excellent way of curving your appetite, as you will not only occupy your mind with the activity, but also give you a fresh taste of toothpaste that will probably not go well with any food.
4. Exercise
Working out, going for a run or walk, or any physical activity can preoccupy your mind and free you from the munchies. If you are still in a food frenzy after exercising, you can reward yourself with a healthy snack. At the least, you know you have put in some physical exercise to go with your food.
5. Rest
A lack of sleep will change not only your sleep patterns, but also your appetite. Make sure to get the rest you need in order to keep your eating schedule on track. Sleeping regularly and eating regularly is a great way to get your body adjusted to not wanting to eat in an untimely manner. Additionally, if you are having the munchies and it is the appropriate time for you to sleep, sleeping will be sure to knock out your cravings.
6. Remove all Temptations
A part of the munchie battle may be your environment. If you have a bunch of snacks calling for you across the room, physically removing yourself or the snacks from the room may be a simple solution. Hopefully this is the case for you!
7. Healthy Alternatives
The Delta-8 was too strong, and the munchies won. You have gone through everything you can do to free yourself of the cravings, but you must give in. We don’t blame you! Enjoying food is great! If you want to enjoy your munchies but are still feeling guilty, start with fruits and vegetables. Who knows? You may also enjoy it more while high!
