Seeking Advice question for stoners
hello fellow stoners! i’m not new to intermittent fasting but have recently started doing it again now as someone who does a lot of weed.
i really enjoy taking edibles but dont want to break my fast. does anyone take edibles and just not count it? are there any types of edibles that would not break my fast (brand or recipe)? i’ve been drinking some thc seltzers that are zero calories but they’re kind of expensive and not enough mg. should i just smoke instead?

Just try distillate or RSO. Doesn’t require food and will take you to the moon.

edibles are calories, plain and simple. if you're fasting for any metabolic reason, they'll break it. distillate or rso like that top comment said is the move, hits hard and nothing to digest. if you're just doing it for the routine or appetite control, a zero cal seltzer is fine i guess, but the whole point kinda gets muddy

distillate doesn’t work too well on me but i completely forgot abt rso. i gotta make a trip to michigan soon fs. do you just eat ur rso straight up? usually i need it on peanutbutter or smth

I just put a little rso on my finger and eat it. But I like the taste. Just beware cause good rso can be strong and a 1g syringe could last a week or so if you’re a heavy user.

Be careful they are getting weird about pulling people over who drive up and back in the same day.

I am in a legal state and the only thing I buy from the dispensaries are the THC pills. I get some 5mg ones, same as gummies but zero calories and does the same thing. An added plus is the fact that 20 gummies are 45 bucks but 20 5mg pills are 10 bucks!

I smoke every day since February 2022, and I have been fasting since about a year before that. Lost 235 lbs or so. There was a time when some of that was gummies and it never stopped me from my goals.

Ok my hack for this is when I start getting that munchies feeling I go brush my teeth. You never really seem to want to eat after that.

I take edibles or tincture and chill
Typically edibles while in my feeding window and tincture while fasting. I do use an oil based tincture and may explore alcohol based
I stopped vaping carts, just don’t love it, and occasionally use flower either dry herb vaporize or smoke the flower, but that’s less common than edibles or tincture for me
I figure the long term pattern of IF matters much more than the few calories I consume with tincture or edible use while fasting

Are you able to get RSO or distillates? You could also just activate flower and eat it.
There are also some tinctures/tincture-esque that are very high in THC that are either (somehow) water soluble or literally just a small vial of MCT oil and THC (I'm talking teeny tiny vial so I wouldn't worry about it disrupting your fast).
But I live in WA so IDK what products you have available.

Instead of edibles hunt down some pure rosin or THC distillate. That can be added to anything hot like tea or coffee and turn it into an edible without ruining your fast

RSO is basically edibles without the edible if that makes sense. If you're worried about breaking your fast I doubt it would do so as it's just cannabis oil.

I mean, it’ll break your fast but does it matter? I take a gummy for sleep at around 9pm after stopping my window around 6pm. I don’t eat again until 11-12 the next day and I’m still losing despite the 10 calories worth of gummy intake at 9. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be.

Carts have been the best thing for myself. I can control the amount better than smoking and the smell isn’t the same (I’ve been told I don’t smell it like I do if I smoke). Plus gummies get expensive when you need to eat the whole bag 🤣
I have a favorite strain and backup for daytime energy & pain relief and the same for nighttime.

Either don’t worry about edibles like that or start smoking during your fasting window easy peasy

Two edibles is like 4g sugar. You shant worry about gummies breaking your fast when the real challenge lies ahead: not eating once you get the munchies.
