Can CBD help with weight loss?
The benefit of CBD in neutralizing stress and anxiety, promoting healthy and restorative sleep and alleviating certain pains is no longer debated. This is also one of the reasons which pushed the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) to legalize this molecule extracted from cannabis on the Old Continent in 2020.
Without psychotropic effects, CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system to regulate several physiological functions... including appetite and fat metabolism. In short, CBD is able to influence both what you ingest (appetite) and the elimination of stored fat(metabolism).
CBD, a natural appetite regulator
Unlike THC, a psychotropic molecule in hemp which can cause problematic eating behaviors (bulimia in particular), CBD regulates the feeling of hunger and satiety by stimulating the CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system. Through this modulation, cannabidiol activates a natural “hunger-stopping” response.
CBD, a natural soothing and antioxidant
The soothing and relaxing effects of CBD make it possible to relieve the organisms affected by stress and anxiety, two risk factors for bulimia and, without going that far, diet too many calories and a slightly too pronounced appetite.
Cannabidiol and other non-psychotropic cannabinoids from the hemp plant, such as CBG, CBN and CBC, balance mood and thus promote a peaceful meal where we chew well, where we take the time to savor every bite and where satiety arrives on time. This newfound serenity also helps reduce impulsive snacking linked to stress.
CBD is finally an excellent antioxidant that equips your body to fight against oxidative stress, a factor in weight gain.
