People looking for effective ways to lose weight nowadays encounter various new ways, which are also backed up by numerous scientific studies or claims. One of the most modern aids in the 21st century is hemp oil for weight loss.

CBD and metabolism

But why is CBD weight loss recommended also by a lot of experts? First of all, this substance, in conjunction with exercise and proper diet, works with your body and not vice versa. The cornerstone of success is the substance Canabidiol, which is found in cannabis plants and reacts with the endocannabinoid system in the body. It is designed to regulate a number of important biological processes, which include metabolic processes. And these are important for weight loss.

The ECS (endocannabinoid system) consists of endogenetic cannabinoids, cannabinoid receptors and enzymes. All these substances are produced naturally by the human body. ECS receptors are divided into two types – CB 1 receptors are found mainly in the central nervous system and brain, CB 2 receptors are distributed throughout the body. They bind to endocannabinoids and can elicit a number of biological responses. In the case of VBD oil for weight loss, CB 1 receptors in fatty tissues are important to us, indicating a link between them and obesity. However, we cannot forget about the other compounds here either. Phytocanabinoids that do not bind to CB receptors but integrate with ECS indirectly and comprehensively are also important.

Influence of cannabidiol on fete metabolism

There are more types of body fats in people’s bodies. The most important are brown and white. White has just been given the layman’s designation “bad”, as it is able to create substances that can lead to chronic inflammation, cardiovascular problems or diabetes. It is very difficult to metabolize. You can notice this, for example, on your thighs, abdomen or hips, where we often cannot get rid of it. Brown fat turns calories into energy. Healthy people have more brown fat than white fat. In order to transform white fat into healthy, it is necessary to take care of good sleep, physical activity and cold-exposure (hardening) can also help. However, research from 2016 has shown that CBD can also cause this transformation and at the same time increase lipid decomposition.

CBD can increase lipid decomposition. It shows signs of a supportive drug for obesity and is a great prevention against its development.

Appetite suppressant effects of CBD

Many people incorrectly associate preparations containing cannabidiols with an increase in appetite. This myth comes from a similar phenomenon that occurs when taking THC. However, this substance is hardly found in hemp oil. Rather, we can talk about the opposite effect. In 2018, a study was conducted in the International Journal Molecular Sciences with results that demonstrate the impact of CBD on CB1 receptor blockers. These tend to trigger unhealthy overeating in many cases.

What do the scientific researches say

CBD weight loss is also directly linked to body weight. Users’ experience of hemp oil is extremely useful, but these preparations can also rely on scientific research. The 2011 study examined the effect of cannabidiol on weight gain in rats. It was on these animals that it was possible to determine how much cannabis oil should be used in humans. They were injected with CBD at doses of 2.5 mg per kilogram body weight for one group and 5 mg per kilogram body weight for the others for two weeks. All animals eventually showed significantly lower weight gain, with a higher dose followed by lower weight gain. The scientists concluded that CB2 receptors that care for energy homeostasis are the most important in this respect.

Leading scientist Jonathan Farrimond also proved that after taking preparations with CBD, food intake decreases, so the person has a subdued appetite.

How does it help in the metabolism of CBD in this case?

These substances can increase the amount of mitochondria and improve their activity. The endocannabinoid system is designed to regulate activities inside cells. If mitochondria do not fulfil their tasks, the ECS motivates them to act. If they exert excessive activity, inhibition and decrease of activity occur and metabolic balance (homeostasis) occurs. CBD interacts with ECS, thus regulating also events related to weight loss. If you are one of the people with active physical life, it is the combination of taking cannabis oil with regular physical activity that will result in easier and faster fat burning.

Cannabis Oil Use

Recommended daily dose

To say exactly how much cannabis oil to take is not entirely easy and is often an individual matter. If you want to solve more serious health problems with CBD, you need to increase the dose. You should only start with the minimum or average daily dose (about 25 mg) and then increase it slightly after about three weeks. However, in case of severe obesity, the recommended daily dose is 60 mg, which can be divided into three doses.

How do you take CBD while losing weight?

Most often, however, weight loss with CBD oil begins with microdosing, for which this form of preparation is ideal. Put the daily dose under your tongue. This is where the active substances are absorbed most efficiently and extremely rapidly through the veins of the oral cavity.

After thirty seconds, swallow the mixture of saliva and oil, thanks to which it enters the digestive tract and is re-absorbed into the body.

Microdosage is the safest and most advantageous way to find out the real effects of this treatment on your body. Thereafter, you can easily assess for yourself whether it is appropriate to reduce or increase the dose. 

Be sure to read the leaflet

Each reliable manufacturer shall also provide information on the recommended daily dose for its products. A good way is to start with a lower dose, such as half the recommended daily dose, and then increase it. However, never exceed the maximum daily dose (especially at the beginning of the treatment). Accuracy of dosing is guaranteed for tinctures or hemp oils thanks to the dropper.

However, caution should be taken of the percentage of cannabidiol in a particular preparation. The time when we apply the substance to each other also plays a big role. Therefore, it is recommended to use on an emptier stomach when more effective absorption into the body occurs. 

For information on the dosage and side effects of using cannabis oil, see the package leaflet of each product. There are six common side effects of cannabidiols: drop in blood pressure, dry mouth, tiredness, dizziness, diarrhoea and possible complications when combined with other medicines.

Risks and Side Effects

In addition to weight loss, CBD also helps to lower blood pressure, which is mainly used in patients with diabetes or heart disorders. However, if the user suffers from low blood pressure, problems may occur. Take special care if you are also taking specific medicines for low blood pressure. This side effect is manifested by malaise and increased sensitivity. You can get your condition back to normal by drinking tea or coffee. 

Dry mouth (xerostomia)

Dry mouth (xerostomy) may occur with higher amounts of cannabidiols. Saliva formation is mitigated by the involvement of the endocannabinoid system in higher doses. However, this is not a dangerous condition for your health. For these problems, it is recommended to drink more water before or after using cannabis oil to eliminate the risk of dehydration. However, dry mouth can cause an increased risk of bacteria in the oral cavity, which can have a negative impact on your teeth.

Paradoxically, in some people, CBD may also have opposite symptoms to those known for cannabis preparations. There are cases where it does not cause encouragement but feelings of drowsiness. This has been demonstrated in particular in users of higher doses. If you experience this side effect, you should avoid driving or using heavy machinery after taking it. The best step to eliminate drowsiness is to reduce the daily dose. Rather, they stimulate, cheer one’s mood and increase concentration. 

The dizziness

Dizziness is an extremely rare and temporary side effect. It is often associated with an unexpected decrease in blood pressure. Again, it is associated with exceeding the appropriate daily dose. You can fight it by drinking a drink containing caffeine and sufficient hydration.

Diarrhoea and stomach irritation are also classified as sporadic adverse effects. They are often caused by other substances found in hemp oil. Conversely, canabidiol can cure digestive disorders. Avoiding these problems is not difficult at all. It is enough to check the composition and quality of ingredients used in the production of the drug before buying. 

Kombination mit anderen Medikamenten

The use of cannabis oil may result in a risk of side effects when combined with other medicines. CBD inhibits the activity of specific enzymes in the liver, which results in a reduction in the breakdown capacity of even dangerous substances. In this way, they may accumulate in the body and there is insufficient metabolism.

Most frequent questions about CBD

Experience of Losing Weight with CBD Oil

The beginnings of using CBD in weight loss date back to 2011. It was then that Dr. Yan Le Straton published an extensive scientific study in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Experience losing weight with CBD Oil has been studied on a huge number of participants who eventually surpassed 43,000 people. It was the results that pointed out that this could be a coup in losing kilos. But let’s take a closer look at this analysis. Up to 25 percent of abstaining participants were obese. Conversely, only 16 percent of the total number of users were obese. The best fat burning occurred in users who consumed these substances found in cannabis more than three times a week.

What CBD weight loss products do we know?

CBD products are now produced in various forms. However, each of them has its own specificities. Differences can be found in the manner of use, dosage, but also in the time of onset and duration of effects.

CBD Capsules

• Onset of effects – 60 minutes
• Duration of action – 4 to 6 hours

CBD Capsules – CBD Oil has also been used in the production of this type of weight loss products. The expected onset of effects is approximately 60 minutes. You can then expect them to work for four to six hours. Since they are taken with water, there is also one specific disadvantage. Unlike sublingual application under the tongue, you get a slightly less active substance into the body. This also implies a later onset of effects. This is due to the digestive tract through which cannabidiols are absorbed. Benefits may include extremely accurate dosing or discretion when used.

CBD oil and tinctures

• Onset of effects – 30 minutes
• Duration of action – 2 to 4 hours

This is the way that experts recommend the most if you are trying to lose weight. The expected onset of effects is approximately 30 minutes. The duration of action is between two and four hours.  Again, these are positive for the accuracy of dosing, as you have a dropper available. CBD drops are applied under the tongue. Already here, some cannabidiols are absorbed into the body through the veins in the mouth, the rest is absorbed through the digestive tract. 

Inhatalion

• Onset of effects – a few minutes
• Duration of action – 0,5 to 1 hour

This is the fastest possible way to achieve the effects of the active ingredient. The expected onset of effects is already within a few minutes. The duration of action varies between half an hour and one hour. Vaporization is most often used. It is evaporation without combustion. This releases CBD substances in the form of vapor, which is then inhaled by the person using a special device. This is how you eliminate the formation of dangerous substances such as carcinogens, tar or free radicals for your body.

Compared to combustion, you achieve an increase of up to 50% in the supply of active substances. In addition, vaporization avoids an additional loss of up to 20 percent between tokes. Evaporation preserves 100 percent of all existing cannabidiols. Regarding temperature, 170 degrees Celsius is recommended. According to 2009 studies, most CBD substances are released around 232 degrees Celsius (just below the combustion temperature). There are many vaporization methods to choose from. You can choose a portable vaporizer, vaporizer pen, tubular vaporizer with hose, stationary vaporizer or vacuum vaporizer.

CBD flowers

CBD flowers, unlike medical cannabis, do not have psychoactive THC. Important for weight loss however, is the fact that there is a higher concentration of cannabidiol. It is precisely in this case that it is the fastest way to transport CBD into the body. It is also recommended to inhale these flowers using a vaporizer. This method already produces effects within one minute. Effects disappear after thirty to sixty minutes. However, it all depends on the amount of dose, metabolism or frequency of use.
