I didn’t know this was tied to ADHD haha. Some days I’m all about food, but others I realize it’s 7 PM and all I had was a scone all day. Today was such a day.
“Oh wow I can barely walk, I guess I should put some peanut butter on some toast or something”
Why turn eating into work?
A banana and a handful of nuts.
No cooking or smearing. No tools required. Just grab it and stick it in your hole.
“I am enraged at everyone and everything. I want to murder the next fucker that bothers me” is my signal that it’s time to start eating for the day
Migraine alarm clock here. The ultimate painful reminder that I forget everything.
But now I’m in too much pain to make something! Argh, sleep will fix that.
got your ‘time to eat’ alarm set to vibrate eh
I just kind of graze all day.
Meal replacements really helped me eat more consistently. I just chug one when i get to work at around 9am and another at 1pm to feel good until i eat dinner. I used to not eat breakfast and snack all day wich was definitely worse.
Which one do you use? I’ve been wanting to do something like this but they all seem kinda gross and expensive, I might try getting like a single bottle or a small pack though.
I tried all I could find, most gave me farts like hell and made me bloated all day. Basically all of them are overpriced BS with way too much sugar and a bloated marketing budget.
Marketing is indeed a big thing with most. And flatulences as well but it gets better when your gut microbiota adjusts. I wouldn’t say too much sugar though (depends obviously) , especially compared to usual ready meals.
Tips! Many ADHD medications have the side effects of appetite suppression. Because of this, it can be a useful routine to eat something when you take your meds, to reduce the likelihood of going too long without food.
This goes doubly if you also have autism and/or other problems with interoception (knowing how your body is feeling/feeling hungry)
I’m in this picture and I’d like it to be taken down!
Don’t worry, you’ll forget about it soon.
Why is my stomach hurting? Did I eat anything that had gone bad? Oh wait.
Big ol’ box of tasty protein bars save me when this happens! I keep them around for when this inevitably happens… which is often.
Dissolves sugar in water
Lazy²
That’s basically coke
Mmmm 😋 hypoglycaemia
Maybe I don’t have ADHD after all 🤔
I think it has to do with the medicine. I’m on a less common ADHD medication and I don’t get like this. Unless I’m working for some reason 🤷♀️
ADHD is also connected with increased rates of obesity. While some forget to eat, others can’t stop eating in that never ending search for dopamine.
Sigh, not surprised.
I am assuming this is referring to medicated ADHD. Stimulates are often associated with decreased hunger. When I was on vyvanse I completely lost my sense of hunger and only went off my bloodsuger. Like “damn I feel dizzy and zombie like. Food time”
Aaah suddenly this makes a lot more sense, thanks for the clarification.
I’m undiagnosed (finally should get that done… 🫣), so I have absolutely no experience with the medication.
Don’t have ADHD. Probably an executive dysfunction thing, but after being medicated, I can feel hungry
