The truth is that cannabis strains high in THCV can be used to encourage weight loss in a safe and efficient manner. Let\u2019s have a quick overview of THCV as the cannabinoid you need before we dive into some delicious and nutritious edible recipes rich in THCV to make <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that encourage weight loss<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>A Quick Overview of THCV as an Appetite Suppressant\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">THCV shares a similar structure to THC, however, THCV acts as an appetite suppressant, which means it alleviates your desire to eat. Additionally, THCV blocks the receptors that respond to THC, which means that you are less likely to have intoxicating effects. <a href=\"https:\/\/jcannabisresearch.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s42238-020-0016-7#:~:text=This%20drug%20exerts%20its%20effect,reducing%20appetite%20and%20inducing%20hypophagia.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to research<\/a>, THCV can suppress your appetite because it blocks the CB1 receptor which ultimately &#8220;reduces the appetite&#8221;. If you would like to find more about THCV as an appetite suppressant, please feel free to read \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/exploring-thcv-the-energizing-and-appetite-suppressing-cannabinoid\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exploring THCV: The Energizing and Appetite Suppressing\u00a0 Cannabinoid<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Healthy Recipes Rich in THCV<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever your reason for wanting to lose weight, remember that the first and most efficient way of attaining your goal, is by eating better for your body. It may seem contradictory to combine cooking with an appetite suppressant THCV, however, with these recipes, you will be able to incorporate the cannabinoid into your nutritious diet without having to inhale it or take it as medication. Good food for your body can also be really tasty, with the added THCV into your meal, that persistent pecking and snacking is sure to see its end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I\u2019ve caught your interest, then there are a couple of steps you should know about if you want to incorporate THCV into your meal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 1: Selecting the Right Strain<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since THCV is a cannabinoid, it is important to select cannabis strains with a high quantity of THCV. The cannabinoid is somewhat a rare strain, fortunately, there are a couple of strains specifically bred for its THCV content. When you&#8217;re looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/the-top-cannabis-strains-that-encourage-weight-loss\/\">strains high in THCV<\/a>, keep your eyes out for these popular ones: Tangie, Girl Scout Cookies, Durban Poison, Jack the Ripper, Dutch Treat, Skunk #1, and Dogs Varin and Willie Nelson. Of which, the last two are specifically bred for THCV.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 2: The Cannabis Oil\/Butter<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have selected and purchased your THCV strain, you will want to turn the cannabis flower (the bud) into a cannabis oil or butter so that it may be easier to cook with. Personal preference leans towards coconut oil as the base for the cannabis coconut oil because of the better health benefits.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Here are two of our favorite recipes for making cannabis oil and butter:\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/how-to-make-cannabutter\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Make Cannabutter \u2013 5 Simple Steps for this Recipe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/infuse-anything-with-this-simple-cannabis-coconut-oil-recipe\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infuse Anything with this Simple Cannabis Coconut Oil Recipe<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Step 3: Get Cooking, Good Looking<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changing your diet from junk and sugary foods to a healthy diet can be challenging.
