I had to give up drinking soda because it was the one thing holding me back from actually losing weight.
I was overweight and my cholesterol was too high for my age. My doctor told me to lower my fat and calorie intake or risk having bad cardiovascular issues as a worst case scenario. Aside from the empty calories I was consuming in all of the soda I was drinking, it was also due to too many donuts and pizzas throughout the month as well. All in all, I have never had the best eating habits. Therefore, I have to make the decisions at the grocery store to not buy the products fnd foods that I know I’ll overeat and abuse if they’re sitting in my refrigerator or pantry. With that in mind, I have to follow the same logic when it comes to edible cannabis and CBD products. I can fall into the same trap of either over eating or consuming empty calories with various cannabis and CBD edibles. For instance, there are cannabis drinks that not only have THC in them, but some cannabis drinks that only have CBD inside. While this is a great way to consume a small dose of CBD, the cannabis drink is often a tea or soda that is loaded with either sugar or an artificial sweetener. While these CBD infused cannabis drinks are a cool idea, they aren’t the best product for people like myself who struggle to maintain a healthy weight on a day by day basis. I’ll stick to pure CBD isolate powder that I can dissolve in a cup of black coffee or a bottle of cold water.
