The Drugtest Diet

[slohemian]

I have yet to find a source that explains why, and what the best diet is for those that are facing a drug test.

I have read many of the posts to find the best way to pass a test, yet most of these do not go in depth on what to eat the day of, and days leading up to the drug test.

I have read that fatty foods should be added to the diet the day of, and the day before a test. Reason being, the clean fat cells that one puts into their body are going to be burned up instead of the fat cells that contain the THC. This would slow the release of THC into the bladder. Thing is, i have also read contradictory posts that say eating a lean meal is the best way to go the day before, and day of the test.

Please explain in depth the methods that you post.

(ChattahBox)—A new study lends credence to those who fail drug tests, insisting they have not smoked pot in weeks, but somehow still test positive for traces of THC in their blood.

The study suggests that dieting or high stress levels could trigger the release of stored THC in a pot smoker’s fat cells into the user’s blood, causing a positive cannabis reading in drug tests.

It has long been known that cannabis becomes rapidly absorbed by fatty tissues and can be stored for weeks after a user stops smoking, especially in heavy smokers. Traces or metabolites of the main ingredient, THC can be picked up by drug testing from a range of 3 to 30 days after a user has stopped smoking, depending on a user’s metabolism and how often cannabis is smoked.

After smoking, the THC slowly leaves the fat cells and becomes diffused into the blood, but a heavy smoker may always have a certain level of THC secreted away in fat cells.

Consider the well publicized case of everyone’s favorite stoner snowboarder, Canadian Ross Rebagliati who won an Olympic gold medal in the 1998 Nagano winter games, only to have it snatched away, after testing positive for THC in a drug test. Rebagliati swore he had not smoked cannabis for weeks and attributed the positive test to second-hand smoke from attending parties in Whistler, British Columbia.

Luckily for Rebagliati his gold medal was restored, when it was ruled that a legal loophole existed on marijuana use with the International Ski Federation. Snowboarders have an entrenched cannabis culture, and combined with low levels of THC stored away in Rebagliati’s fat cells, combined with stress, it’s certainly possible that he had not smoked in weeks before the drug test.

Two researchers from Australia decided to test the effect stress levels and dieting had on the stored levels of THC in a user’s fat cells, based on stories of athletes like Rebagliati. The researchers theorized that the rapid breakdown of body fat from dieting and stress could lead to the release of THC into the blood.

After testing their theory on rats, the researchers found that both stress and dieting did indeed trigger the release of THC, especially dieting. The researchers injected rats with THC that was the equivalent of a person smoking five to 10 cannabis cigarettes, every day for 10 days.

Two days after the last THC injection, the researchers injected a third of the rats with a stress hormone, called ACTH, deprived another third of food and left the final group as a control group. The food deprived group showed double the blood levels of THC acid, with the stress group also showing a strong THC increase.

Although the researchers did not find the same THC levels after two days, they believe a longer study would have allowed the rats to develop stores of THC in their fat cells, which would have been released with the stress and starvation triggers.

This study needs to be conducted on human subjects before the findings are confirmed, but the results have implications for smokers facing drug tests, resulting in serious consequences for a positive THC test. Heavy smokers would be well advised not to diet before a drug test.

I drink absolutely ridiculous amounts of water. If I'm detoxing to clean out my stuff for a test I walk around with a water bottle glued to my hand practically, if its empty I fill it. a 'diluted' sample is no good therefore I just try to get as absolutely much out as possible over the week beforehand. The day of the test I still drink water a fair amount, and piss a couple times before hand, NEVER give your first piss of the day for a sample. Drink a red bull just to help out with any aspect of 'clear piss'

I avoid fatty foods because they would only keep stuff IN versus getting it out, plus I exercise a LOT in the first few days of wanting to detox to burn off as much as I can, however after that, the few final days coming up to a test, I am lazy as shit so as to not be burning more and releasing it into my body

i used to have to piss every month. I passed every time by drinking incredible amounts of water. This was just a "strip" test where they dropped a few drops of urine in in a few minutes it shows negative or positive. On my way back after a pink floyd weekend i failed a test. I was then sent to a lab. Lab test are much harder. The first test came back "to dilute for sample" a 2nd the same thing this time at 7:30 am(i stayed up all night drinking water.) Be careful of the labtest." To dilute for sample" tells them your drinking craploads of water and to watch closer.

Note: this was 19 years ago and test are probably different. Also i was younger and it was hell on my body. It gives gives you the squirts and hurts your kidneys

i have seen one trick that is interesting, haven't used it but it does make some sense
oatmeal, multiple times a day
oatmeal is a fat magnet for fats in the blood, great for the cholesterol and whatnot
if it can lower serum fat, would make sense that is less fat/thc that is going through the kidneys, and thus the urine

I simply refuse to work for anyone that thinks a test that can't tell whether I smoked last hour or last month is important enough to hire/fire me.

with the current set of COMPLETELY AUTOMATED chromatography testing machines, the above is correct, even abstaining for 30-40 days sometimes will STILL get you a positive if your body decides to burn a few 30-40 day old THC contaminated lipid cells on or before test day.

when did it become "OK" to invade my constitutional rights to privacy so my potential/current employer can tell if I smoke pot or not?
and why is this even relative to my job? I mean if you're a school bus driver, or you're assembling explosives or whatever, sure,......but for office work?, or cooking in a restaurant? or working as a city gardener? this whole "pre-employment" and "random" drug screening is wrong, wrong, wrong, and has gotten WAY out of hand, you can't get a job at mickey d's flipping burgers without a whizz quiz now a days.

no way to win this,............I choose boycott.
