Figuring out how to nourish your body and mind when you have ADHD can be overwhelming and exhausting. Challenges with executive function, impulsivity, dopamine regulation, and more can lead to a host of obstacles: finding the motivation to cook a meal, remembering to eat, overeating for stimulation, getting adequate nutrition, and more. At their worst, these challenges can have serious consequences for your mental and physical health. But it doesn't have to be this way.
How to Eat Well for Adults with ADHD is a complete guide to how to cook regularly, eat intuitively, and nourish yourself well when you have ADHD. Written by registered dietitian and ADHDer Rebecca King, the "ADHD Nutritionist" (@adhd.nutritionist), this book is not a diet book, but rather a book of solutions to common problems ADHDers experience with food, cooking, and nutrition. Rooted in Rebecca's weight-neutral, intuitive eating-based philosophy, this book breaks down how ADHD affects your relationship with food and gives you the tools to develop a better approach for your ADHD brain. The book includes:
Practical, comprehensive, backed by science, but written with the understanding of someone who's actually been there, How to Eat Well for Adults with ADHD helps ADHDers address their challenges with food without shame or pressure. It's a must-read for any ADHDer who's ever struggled in the kitchen and wants to learn how to thrive!
