What has CBD to do with weight loss?
Background
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound that has been very popular in the natural health world. Some people believes that CBD can help when people want to lose weight. But does it work? Even if it seems like science more or less proves that using CBD can be a good treatment for certain health issues- for instance chronic pain improvement of sleep and reduced degree of inflammations, there still is not enough science behind it to prove that it is effective for any of these issues.
Scientist are also looking at the possibilties with using CBD to help people lose weight and reduce the risks connected to obesity, such as diabetes for instance

CB1 & CB2 and the human bodies natural endocannabinoids system
In 1995 the two receptors was found that was called CB1 and CB2,not only among rats but also among humans and thousands of other species.
CBD can help people with losing weight because of how it affects the body and the brain.
The effects from CBD in the bodies depends to a big degree on how it affects the bodies natural endocannabinoids system. This system respons to different chemicals in the body through two cannabinoid (CB) receptors, in other words CB1 and CB2
CB1-receptors are as most dense in the brain and the central nervous system. CB2-receptors cam be found mostly in the immune system. Among obese persons the CB1 receptors gets more spread, especially in the adipose tissue. Because of this the scientists believes that there can be a connection between the activation of the CB1 receptprs and obesity.
CBD works together with other cannabinoids to potentially activate other receptors, such as endocannabinoids and serotonin This can play an important part when it comes to weight loss or other critical metabolic functions.

What does science say?
There are some proofs that shows that CBD can help a person to lose weight or prevent metabolic disorders
Loss of appetite

Transforms bad fat to good fat
Advocates for CBD and weight loss claims that it can transform white or so called bad fat to white fat. which can help the body to burn calories. White fat can increase the risks for many chronic conditions, such as heart deseases and diabetes.
A study from 2016 backs up this claim . The scientist found that CBD plays several roles when it comes to how the body is interacting with fat. In the study CBD helped to transform white fatcells into brown fatcells. It also stimulated the body to break down fat more effectively. The scientest note that CBD can be a promising therapy to prevent obesity, but it requires more studies on humans.
