I’ve tried a lot of diets, and I have a lot of trouble committing and maintaining structure. I eat out every day. I don’t exercise much. I’m having trouble with willpower fasting. Still I think the most “ADHD friendly” way of dieting is likely fasting. It requires little practical restructuring of ones life, just commitment and willpower. Do you all have anything better? Any advice?
Shift from “diet” to healthier nutrition. Meaning slowly build a habit of eating better without overwhelming oneself.
If you eat out, inquire about more diverse menu options. Less processed food, more protein and fiber.
It’s a journey, it takes years, don’t rush it and you’ll be surprised of the results
That’s a good idea. I’ll look into that. Any more info?
I originally started with protein diet and casual gym goings. Gym forces you to eat more protein and use up a lot of excess calories. Also, you feel energised and mentally uplifted.
Once you’re few months into gym routine, you’ll read up more how to hit your macros, how to restructure constituents, how to manage appetite. For now, this all Will overwhelm you and you’ll have trouble sticking to any of it. I know I did.
Since you’re at the start I suggest simply start noticing healthier options. Do it intentionally for few weeks before even doing anything. When you put more effort into this, you’ll discover your own ways how to eat better without the need for fixed “diet”.
