My overactive eating habits are getting out of control.
- I have always had a problem with nervous eating, but it got really bad during the COVID pandemic.
For months I was constantly anxious and eating was one of the few things I could do compulsively to address my fears. Things started to get really bad when I was buying pop tarts and eating entire boxes of them within the course of two or three days. When I started eating an entire box within a 24 hour period, I had to quit buying them altogether. But things didn’t improve from there, I just replaced the pop tarts with Oreos and other sweets. By the end of 2020, I had put on at least 40 pounds of extra weight. I started to exercise at this point, but my eating habits hadn’t improved that much. Smoking marijuana everyday wasn’t helping either because it made me hungry most of the time. When I found a strain that suppressed my appetite, I found out that it was high in THCV. This cannabinoid is known as an appetite suppressor and can also help with blood sugar regulation. I found a company that sells THCV isolates and started taking it as a daily supplement to promote weight loss. To my amazement, it knocked back my hunger almost immediately. The only cannabinoid banned in the 2018 Farm Bill is delta-9-THC, which means that THCV extracted from federally compliant hemp plants is perfectly legal. This makes the cannabinoid an excellent supplement for people looking for appetite suppressing effects without going on a psychoactive stimulant or something similar.
