The things that get in the way for me are: getting instantly bored with any weight loss strategy, an inability to do things if I’m told I have to, forgetting that I need to lose weight, needing the sensory input of food, inability to recognise when I’m full, hyper-focusing on weight loss for a month and losing a ton of weight and then putting it all back on the next month because I celebrated the weight loss with cake…

I just wonder if there are any ADHD behaviour hacks where I could use my neurospicyness to actually help me lose weight consistently.

    I’ve found it’s easier to create a set of rules that define my lifestyle than it is to commit to a diet. Like, think of strict keto as a way of living rather than a diet. Eat all you want, but sugar and carbs are no longer food. Don’t focus on losing weight, focus on following the rules. The weight loss will happen in its own.

      Exactly this. Being able to eat unlimited amounts is liberating and doesn’t feel like a diet. On Keto there will be sugar withdrawal for the first few weeks, and that will be rough, but being able to stuff yourself with allowed food (cheese, meat, 100% chocolate, etc) makes it much more manageable.
