I have a neighbor who I believe is a moderate to heavy cocaine user. She has lost a lot of weight in a short period of time. I guess this is probably because cocaine makes you not hungry. I know the body's metabolism decreases when you take in a lot less food then normal. However, that does't seem to be the case with her. So, does cocaine increase your metabolism or keep it from being decreased?

cocaine is like speed. It will boost your mptabilism big time. plus is makes it so your not hungry, and people who use it usully want o move around and cannot sit still until they start to come down. So it's like doing high pace arerobics all the time with out ever eating.

Cocaine Metabolism

Cocaine is a stimulant and will cause a person to be less hungry and also gives the user more energy than normal. The combination of the two would be a good explanation for weight loss. In the long run it may slow the body's metabolism because your system will get used to a decrease in food consumption. Much like a smoker, the user may experience weight gain after quitting cocaine.

From what I understand, cocaine just makes you forget that you need to have food. If you're looking to cocaine as a weight loss, just know that you will need to use it for the rest of your life in order to maintain the weight that you desire. Everyone I know who has lost weight using, gained it back when they quit and had even more trouble losing it later. It may actually slow metabolism.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.
I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.
It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

The main two things with cocaine are that it is an appetite suppressant, so I'd expect she wouldn't be eating all that much and also it increases your energy levels, so she may well be more active and burning off more calories than usual. I'm really not sure about cociane directly speeding up the metabolism though. HTH.

I don't know if it increases your metabolism, but it can do a number on your heart. People can drop dead from cocaine use.

Cocaine causes a lot in appetite and that may be why she's losing weight.

A cocaine users weight loss has nothing to do with metobolism. Addicts usaully just stop eating because they loose the hunger sensation. They replace food with drugs.
