Can CBD Help You Lose Weight?

CBD can do just about everything, but can it help with your weight loss ambitions?

The short answer: perhaps.

While famed for having amazing benefits when managing things like epilepsy, depression, and anxiety, one of the attributes that often flies under the radar is the potential of CBD to potentially help you lose weight.

This is how CBD may help fuel your weight loss ambitions in 2023.

You’ll sleep better

Sleep and weight loss are a dream team. A lack of sleep and plenty of access to limitless food, like your kitchen, makes you more likely to increase unhealthy abdominal fat, says research at the Mayo Clinic.

High quality sleep is a powerful weight loss asset since it also helps keep your appetite in check thanks to hormonal releases.

One of the suggested benefits of CBD is that it may help calm both body and mind before bed and may even help increase the time spent in deep sleep.

You’ll Relax More

Losing weight can be stressful and stress often leads to overeating or skipped workouts.

Feeling calm and unstressed may help lower your levels of cortisol, which in turn may optimize hormones such as testosterone.

CBD may help lower anxiety so you can help calm your stresses and focus on losing weight.

You May Recover Better

What’s the single most influential factor in your weight loss training protocol’s likelihood of success?

Frequency.

Even the best routine, if done infrequently, won’t get you results.

Exercise consistency is what creates consistent weight loss and CBD might help you foster it by helping to ease post workout stiffness.

If you’re too sore, you probably won’t train again.

Whether you rub it on your sore muscles or have a few drops under your tongue, one of the potential benefits of CBD is to aid with this type of recovery.

HIGH QUALITY CBD

As a tactical professional, the CBD you take should always be free from contaminants and be of the highest quality with ingredients that meet label claims with a sound quality control process to ensure products are made in accordance with industry guidelines.

Without these a CBD could inadvertently make you fail a drug test which could impact you're standing at work, especially if you’re a first responder or in the military.

An easy way to help you with this is to use products with a Banned Substance Control Group (BSCG) Certified CBD seal.

The BSCG Certified CBD premiere third-party certification program works to ensure you get what’s on the label and is free from harmful toxins or drug contaminants.

The BSCG Certified CBD third-party certification program tests CBD product lots to verify label claims and THC limits; check for heavy metals, microbiological agents, pesticides, and solvents; and perhaps most importantly screens for more than 500 banned substances in sport or other possible drug contaminants.

The program was designed to ensure that athletes and other drug tested professionals like first responders, or military service members will not test positive for THC or other drugs when using a Certified CBD product and to verify the quality and integrity of CBD products for consumers.

The BSCG Certified CBD program has done the heavy lifting when it comes to verifying the quality of CBD products.

Make sure your CBD product is made to maximize the potential benefits to your weight loss
