The things that get in the way for me are: getting instantly bored with any weight loss strategy, an inability to do things if I’m told I have to, forgetting that I need to lose weight, needing the sensory input of food, inability to recognise when I’m full, hyper-focusing on weight loss for a month and losing a ton of weight and then putting it all back on the next month because I celebrated the weight loss with cake…

I just wonder if there are any ADHD behaviour hacks where I could use my neurospicyness to actually help me lose weight consistently.

    My ADHD had me writing a cooking blog intro about how I discovered this but I’ll spare you:

    The catch-all answer is water. But for ADHDers with oral fixations (both of us, apparently), the real answer is powdered drink mixed.

    You’ll stop wanting a snack if your 0 calorie drink tastes good.

    I didn’t buy it for weight loss but my water bottle has electrolyte powder every day. I use half the recommended amount (don’t wanna overdose) and it completely replaced food as my go-to when I’m not sure if I’m bored or hungry.
