Double M Herbals | Kratom Forum

Just discovered something amazing, it appears I was just wasting Kratom before I found this.

Okay here's the deal, when you go to Doctors office you sometimes see a poster that recommends not eating anything 3 hours before bedtime, but do you know how hard it is not to eat when you crave that midnight snack?
Well... here's the thing, I found if I take just 1 gram of Kratom mixed with glass of water in the evening exactly at the time I'm feeling "hunger" it puts you in a state where you don't want to eat at all and as an added bonus, you get the most amazing effect out of kratom.

I've been doing this for a week now and when I see someone I know - they notice the weight loss and ask "how did you do it"?
I tell them to avoid food late in the evening =)


So now I only drink Kratom either early in the morning before eating anything, or late in the evening when I'm really feeling the "hunger" it really is an amazing plant.

I lost 40 lbs this year, the last half of it by doing Intermittent Fasting 16:8. My 8 hour eating window was from noon to 8 pm and often ended up being even less than that. Kratom definitely helped as far as suppressing appetite.

Have either of you found any varieties of Kratom that work particularly well (strains, etc)?

I've lost about 15 lbs in the last 8 months I've been taking kratom. I take mostly greens and whites. I've read other people say reds give them the munchies but we're all different. It's more than just reduced appetite for me. It's given me a kick start in forming better habits from giving me the motivation to exercise more (I've turned into a hiking nut) to reducing sugar and alcohol intake. I now make green smoothies every morning. When I take care of my body the kratom is just so much more effective.

Any of them, for me. It's not a strong appetite suppressant, it just seems to make it easier to not eat.

Yes, I found that Kratom from Mystic Island had really strong effect, I've used the following strains: Mystic Pixie, Amethyst, Red Paupa & Mystic Doppleganger.

I'm careful not to do more then 1 gram doses however because at one time, I took 2g, the euphoria was so strong, I couldn't fall asleep.

I found that when I first did toss 'n wash, I got horrible GI pain... for ten days. I lost 12 pounds, although when I started eating again, most of it came back.

Overall, I haven't had any success with weight loss on kratom. On the other hand, when I was taking tramadol, the weight just melted off. Over the few years I took tramadol, I dropped 50 lbs. without changing my exercise routine or diet. I switched over to kratom (from tramadol) and while I haven't gained the weight back, I haven't lost any additional weight either. My weight on kratom has been consistent for the past couple of years with no big loss or gain in either direction.

Whenever I take my nighttime kratom dose, I get really hungry a few hours later. I feel this stems from kratom lowering blood sugar, but I have no evidence of this - just my opinion and personal experience.

I would love to see a professional study on weight loss and kratom. I keep hearing people say they lose weight with it, but unfortunately that has not been my experience at all.

That's how I'd describe it. I still have appetite when it's time for a normal meal, but I don't think about snacking anymore and I don't feel like I'm denying myself anything.
