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?

    Unfortunately there are a lot of incentives for various organizations and companies to put out literature in support of what makes them profit, not to mention many researchers who enter the field with a significant bias, conducting poorly controlled studies to provide evidence towards their biased opinion. Any summary articles on the internet, including ones from prestigious universities, should not be taken at face value when they do not cite their sources. Even when they do cite their sources, there’s endless conflicting evidence out there because there are so many biased studies conducted by companies attempting to push their product (dairy industry is a good example of this), endless poorly controlled studies, endless studies based in science twenty years old and not accounting for more a more modern view of human health/biology and endless studies with other problems. A thorough review of the cited literature is often necessary to parse whether the source is tainted.
