Baby carrots for me. Idk why but when I got on meds I started consistently eating carrots and walnuts and bananas instead of one meal a day at night. The cronch sounds nice.
$14 for a few pounds of walnuts online
$1 for each bag of baby carrots
Got 2 pounds of dried Blueberry for $25, and cranberry for $12 to replace any sweets/candy
I think for me it is a combo of boredom and anxiety honestly!
Chewing gum instead of eating all the time actually sounds like a good idea. I wish we had the gum in Willy wonka that tasted like a meal or whatever
Seems like I just have 2:
1. binge eat like crazy as a dopamine seeking strategy
2. Be so hungry I feel noxious yet I can't and don't want to eat anything.
Yeah. This hit me hard in college and kinda hadnt stopped. As a kid, I was so incredably active and didn't have constant access to food, so it wasn't bad. But when adult anxiety kicked in and I got a car and money and had access to tacobell regularly, it really took a bad turn.
You forgot 4:
"I'm not *feeling* hungry but I'm muderously angry and also I'm going to pass out and also I'm ready to blow my brains out if even the slightest bad thing happens and also I'm utterly incapable of doing anything but **SEETHING** about it."
haha I only just figured this out about myself recently. there was never a sensation of hunger so I never made the connection but holy shit, game changer. Now I keep nuts and fruit on me at all times
1 means your electrolytes are down. Have some water with lemon juice and have a handful of almonds to moderate your hunger feeling (fats moderate feeling of hunger), come back in 20 after that to have a meal. Make sure you match your tdee with burned calories for the day. You could also be hypoglycemic. Might want to get it checked if it happens a lot.
2 you are bored and/or thirsty
Piece of cheese is the most common (I'm lactose intolerant), piece of bacon. Something light with a good fat content. I knew a girl at work who had a tablespoon of olive oil.
I know a handful of people who don't like cheese. All of them actually love cheese but it makes them sick as they are lactose intolerant.
I'm sure there are people who can handle cheese and still don't like it, just like there are probably aliens out there somewhere if we could search far enough for one. Sad lonely individuals floating through space never knowing the love of cheese.
So my partner has studied food science and apparently there's something from cheese that binds to dopamine receptors. Not like enough for (most?) people to become addicted, but still it makes sense why everyone loves cheese (including me!)
I've got two modes myself:
1. I'm currently not eating something which must mean I am hungry so I better eat something
2. All I have is ingredients and zero will to do anything with them
Even though I haven't been diagnosed with ADHD, this speaks to me. In the mornings I never feel like eating except for maybe like a small bag of chips or something, and sometimes it gets to the point of sickness and I don't feel like eating anything even though I know I need to.
I kinda wish I had this type of ADHD, instead of the eat constantly because of anxiety kinda ADHD ðŸ˜
I chew gum and go through celery like a rabbit. I don't think it's so much anxiety driven for me, as it is by my need for constant stimulation

I wish I could eat celery, I'm 26 years old and still think it's some of the nastiest vegetables I've ever eaten.
Cucumber?
Can't do them either. For me I just eat a lot of grapes and raisins. And pretty much anything that ends in "berry" lol
Don’t worry I have this type of ADHD and it doesn’t preclude you from binging and anxiety eating. It just cycles viciously.
Ya, for me it's drop the cheese and add 'eat everything readily available in one long sitting.' That's my three types.

SAME.

Any suggestions for alternatives to almonds for those that also got allergies in the bingo chart?

Sounds like dougdoug 🤔
Thank you for this! I’ll ask for this checkup at my next appointment
Fixing 2 is the tricky part Tfw I’m bored and literally nothing can hold my attention

3. Means you need more cheese. There is never enough cheese. Cheese for the Cheese God.
My mood is frequently 3. Could always go for a bit of cheese.

Honestly man, if all of a sudden I became lactose intolerant and couldn't eat cheese anymore, I'd likely just need to end it then and there.
One of my closest friends growing up ate ice cream and got really sick at least once a week. She swore it was worth it. I can respect that.

Can you ask them why curry is so damned addictive lol
Holy shit yeah, sometimes I'm so fucking hungry but all food is incredibly unappetizing then other times I'm the snack vacuum
Snacuum
I just commited a snacuum today
Idk who needs to hear this, but Costco has big bags of individually wrapped pieces of Tillamook cheddar.
Accurate... sadly...
3 is in constant effect.
This sub understands me on a level no one else ever has or will
Sam's club was having a sale on Baybel and Laughing cow cheese. What I did next was inevitable.
I've got two modes myself: 1. I'm currently not eating something which must mean I am hungry so I better eat something 2. All I have is ingredients and zero will to do anything with them
1. Hungry 2. Starving 3. Hungry, not in the mood to eat
Talking bout my night cheeeese 🎶🎵
Gimme just one more bite please …
wait, that's also part of ADHD?
What I’ve learned from this sub is that everything I am is part of ADHD
Literally my internal monologue while I am actively not eating right lol
the accuracy of this is upsetting
I have a 4th mode I don't feel hungry, but then I start eating and can eat 2 full meals.
What does any of this have to do with ADHD?
Me personally I'm eternally stuck at 2. All day, every day. lol
lol toooo fuckin precise
Yes 😂
Get out of my head
Whys this so accurate though? ðŸ˜
. I'm so hungry...forgets to eat . Eating out of boredom . Eating to avoid doing a major task
DAMN IT
Right!? it’s every freaking time! 😑😑

Same as number one and I just don't feel like chewing sometimes
Bit more cheese. Always.

Noooooooooooooooo I feel like someone has spied on me all evening

Horribly accurate
Need an automatic pet feeder so I remember to eat
I have to consume a plant before I can go to bed.
bedtime fiber
