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.
got your ‘time to eat’ alarm set to vibrate eh
Dissolves sugar in water
Lazy²
That’s basically coke
I’m actually using complete meal replacement like jimmy joy or huel. If you’re not too picky with taste, it can definitely help with a healthy diet,without much effort.
I’m also surprised how much effect really nutrition has on muscle build-up, as I gained just with this comparatively high protein diet quite a bit (without focusing on that specifically)
Maybe I don’t have ADHD after all 🤔
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.
Easy solution: just start smoking
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 🤷♀️
i have the fat kid flavor of adhd where i eat all the time for the dopamines
what medicine are you on if you don’t mind me asking?
currently none because my insurance says i need something called a “prior authorization” which means i have to spend hours playing phone tag with my doctor first 🫠
I am hoping that amphetamine salts will help me not be bored-hungry all the time and help with motivation to get to the gym regularly. I miss being healthy :[
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.
I’m on Focalin and I can’t relate so it probably is the medicine 👍
“Oh wow I can barely walk, I guess I should put some peanut butter on some toast or something”
Who has that much time? Just put honey on some peanut butter on bread. Then some milk, for protein. Full meal (not really)!
Just squirt the honey straight into your mouth! (or maple syrup in my case)
Fuck protein, want sugar!
And then I get a tummy ache and I’m still hungry.
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.
Just grab it and stick it in your hole.
That’s what… Nah, even I have a “too easy” threshold sometimes 🤷

peanut butter toast, simple, yummy, filling! People keep thinking i’m wired when I tell them about pb toast, glad to see others talk about it.
Who doesn’t think peanut butter toast is ‘normal’? Where tf are you from?
PB + banana (or honey if I’m out) is my go-to!
A thick cut of toasted bread (e.g. sour dough) with bananas, honey, and almond butter is an insanely tasty treat.
Apparently Elvis enjoyed Peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwiches. I personally recommend bac’n bits. Real bacon makes the sandwich too greasy
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.
Excedrin, darkness, migraine cap and sleep. Only cure I have.
I hate it because it doesn’t go away when I eat and hydrate for a long time, ough
Yes! Same here
“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
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)
Why is my stomach hurting? Did I eat anything that had gone bad? Oh wait.
This was me and my ADHD coworker… we never ate at noon - eventually (sometimes at like 430) one of us would turn to the other “You eat yet?” “Oh fuck, I forgot - let’s grab something”
Big ol’ box of tasty protein bars save me when this happens! I keep them around for when this inevitably happens… which is often.
I just kind of graze all day.
It’s handful of shredded cheese o’clock!
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.
Try the savory stuff (like huel or Jimmy joy) , I also don’t like the powder in the shaker.
Not who you asked, but I liked Huel well enough that I’ll be re-ordering it soon.
I got soylent powder for about 4 years and i liked it. I switched to a canadian brand called sperri that use (i think) better ingredients and i like it a lot.
I’ve been using Plenny Shakes for years and I haven’t found anything better. They taste good and actually calm my stomach
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.
Mmmm 😋 hypoglycaemia
