Usually, I wouldn’t go around encouraging the best anything for weight loss. I think it’s reductionist and ignores the fact that all of our bodies are very different. However, recently I have noticed that I have gained a bit of weight through lockdown, and I want to get rid of it. If you are at a place where you are unhappy with the way your feel in your body and want to lose weight here are some strains that can help. If you are happy in your body and love being the size you are then completely ignore me. No matter what all bodies are beautiful and all that matters is the way you feel about your meat.
Of course, we are primarily looking for strains that don’t trigger the munchies in this department. However, this strain actively suppresses appetite. Tangie is likely one of the most famous strains on the market and is well known for its euphoric energetic high. This can also help if you struggle with overeating due to depression or weight gain as a result of being too sedentary. Tangie will give you a happy burst of energy so you can go out for a lovely long walk without feeling the need to snack. It also helps manage stress and chronic pain which can also be causes of unwanted weight gain. Tangie is relatively easy to grow and will reward all levels of cannabis cultivator. She has a flowering time of 9 – 10 weeks and can be grown indoors or outdoors.
Skunk #1 is another strain that is excellent for appetite suppression while having a very physical and relaxing effect. It also elevates mood and makes for a comfortable and happy chill session. She was created by combining some of the finest genetics on the planet. Mexican, Colombian, and Afghani all of which are landrace strains. Skunk has subsequently acted as a base for many of the most popular modern strains. This strain is also perfect for anyone who is experiencing pain or sore muscles. This also makes it a fantastic post work out strain. I find treating myself is a great way to convince me to continue positive habits. One of the most popular aspects of this strain is the smell, which it is famous for. It is sweet and pungent with that classic skunky diesel quality. Sunk #1 takes roughly 45 – 50 days to grow and can be planted indoors or outdoors.
I could make a very inappropriate joke here about how Jack The Ripper was famous for altering bodies, but I won’t. Instead, I’ll have a look at the craving fighting aspect of the strain which makes it great for weight loss. Rather than causing strange and wonderful food cravings that other strains cause, Jack The Ripper lets the brain completely wander away from the idea of eating six burritos in one sitting even if it sounds amazing. Jack The Ripper is one of the top 10 strains listed in The Big Book Of Buds 3. Strangely it can also allow appetite to increase for those who are struggling with severe nausea or other medicinal issues. The flavour is a mix of sweet fruit and citrus so it is also absolutely delicious. Jack The Ripper has a flowering time of 8 – 9 weeks and will grow well indoors or outdoors.
This strain is another one of the most popular on the market. She has been around for an absolute age and is used by medicinal users for a variety of symptoms and issues. The effect is extremely physical and relaxing with a THC level of 19%. She can be a little strong for the average novice, but if you’re careful she’s a fantastic strain. Northern Lights is used to combat stress, insomnia and depression all of which are common causes of weight gain. Northern Lights has actually been called one of the best weight loss strains due to its ability to improve mood and energy. She was created by combining Afghani, Skunk #1 and Haze so it’s hardly surprising that she turned out so well. Northern Lights has a flowering time of 55 days and can be grown indoors or outdoors.
Ghost Train Haze is another strange strain that is actually used to improve appetite. However, this is primarily for those who have lost their appetite due to medical issues. For anyone with a healthy appetite, it can be a great way to manage your weight. Ghost Train Haze was also the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup US Sativa Winner and 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup 2nd place Medical Sativa Winner. She’s also regularly a winner of the High Times Strongest Strains on Earth. Her THC usually sits at around 25%, so she may not be ideal for use by beginners. Ghost Train Haze has a slightly longer flowering time of 11 weeks and can be grown indoors or outdoors.
If the best way for you to lose weight is to work out, then this is the best strain for you. Green Crack is motivational and high energy, so perfect for those days you just can’t face a run or a workout. She provides laser-sharp focus and stimulates the brain as few other strains can. As would likely be expected Green Crack is a hell of a vigorous grower and she produces large dense buds that are covered in a thick coating of resin. Even if you don’t prefer to work out but want to make sure you squeeze in a walk each day to stay active, Green Crack is a perfect choice. She is also used medicinally to combat exhaustion, depression, stress and anxiety. Due to the focused and uplifting nature of the high she is best used during the day. She has a THC level of 19 – 20% so she definitely has a kick to her. The flowering time is 58 – 65 days and she can be grown indoors or outdoors.
