    “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

      The first thing I do when I come downstairs is drink 4oz (120ml) of juice. Next priority is to get the caffeine monkey off my back. Only then can I risk human interaction.

    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”

    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 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.

      Low interroception, not necessarily Adhd. Like most symptoms it can come from many angles.

      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)

          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 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 🤷‍♀️

      Late to this party, but I binge eat when I’m off my meds.

      I lost 45 lbs (~20 kilos) the first year I was on meds. Didn’t skip meals or anything - just stopped eating second whole meals after the first.

      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.

    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 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 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.

        I’ve been using Plenny Shakes for years and I haven’t found anything better. They taste good and actually calm my stomach
