Reaction to Joe Wicks ADHD & Food

[@Dicegirl13]

I love that you acknowledge Joe Wicks clearly just misspoke a bit and use it as a jumping off point for conversation. So many "creators" would be getting hysterical and inflaming anger about it for views, and I love that you guys are so much better than that! Also I'd 100% have all the Mars ice creams too and I'm not even meant to have dairy 😂

I feel that. I practically never buy snacks because I have literally zero impulse control and would just eat all of them the same evening lol

[@sacrilegiousboi978]

ADHDers not only tend to binge/crave foods more due to dopamine seeking, but they are also much more biologically sensitive to the effects that food has on us. Things like hormonal and blood sugar fluctuations from things like forgetting to eat all day then eating a ton in one go, having unbalanced meals i.e. eating sugar/refined carbs without protein and fat (basically our unhealthy modern eating habits) are WAYYY more pronounced compared to neurotypical people and exacerbate ADHD symptoms.

[@laceyl5682]

Yes totally. I tried some of my friends homemade maple syrup straight from his trees. He had cooked it down to a thick honey consistency. I ate a spoon full and immediately felt the sugar cruising through my veins vibrating every part of my being hahaha it was insane

[@sacrilegiousboi978]

@@laceyl5682 yep, not only the sugar highs but also the massive crashes too, which can result in irritability, anger, depression. Eating more protein and healthy fats (which as a society we are doing less than in the past) will help stabilise those blood sugar fluctuations

I used to try have blocks of plain dairy milk chocolate in the pantry for emotional emergencies, but every time I'd go to get a line of chocolate the whole block would have been scarfed by my other half. This has been going on for several years now, we're in our mid-late 30s and have been together for over a decade. The only solution I was able to find was to buy multipacks of fun-sized chocs. He can't leave a line of chocolate squares from the block, but he can hold off on eating the last fun sized Mars Bar. He was diagnosed ADHD this year.

[@susanne5803]

Dried fruit and cashews, sunflower seeds, etc. Not less calories but less harmful effects. I have admittedly been very lucky that I am the only one in the family, who can't stand a lot of sweet foods. My kid inherited this fortunately.

Food is for dopamine for me. When I’m hungry I gotta eat something I’m absolutely craving. Some people say “I eat to survive” I say I eat for dopamine. I’ve always been obsessed with food and foods my main motive for going to an event.

[@groawninggig2436]

Yea food and events

[@kutanra]

My poor husband has to hide his treats but even then I'm like a bloodhound. I tried giving up sugar but I became nasty on the withdrawal symptoms and caved lol

[@laceyl5682]

Yeah it's so hard. A nutrition guy told me you crave it so much cuz you are actually hungry and I've started realizing he's right and eating much more frequent meals, every few hours, and my energy levels are so much better. It's kind of insane to me that I was so foggy brained, angry and tired constantly because I needed to eat more. It's wild the mood improvement

[@oolala53]

When you really get that the pain of giving something up won’t really be as bad as the pain of overdoing something you either feel or know is hurting more than helping ( with admitted pleasure,) it gets easier to face down the withdrawal. I do use stevia but have had very few days since 1/1/20 with more than 10 g of sugar. This was after decades of struggle, but more from the vantage point of hating my body and wanting to lose weight, but I clamped down on that at age 56. I still ate sweets, but was able to learn to limit them to weekends and a couple of celebratory days a month but I realize that I didn’t enjoy them that much in small quantities and I kept hearing of people who gave up desserts and such and felt very free. Since 2020 was the beginning of a new decade, I decided that would be my decade of experiment. I probably couldn’t have thought in those terms when I was in my 30s, but I was older and realize that I’d already had more sugar than most previous humans had had and more than one lifetime. I honestly can’t see any big reason to have it besides a few bites on Thanksgiving or Christmas time. Flour foods are another story. I just went for blood test today. I’m now age 70, and those numbers have become a lot more important to me because I have less time to correct problems. I know you is not actually very motivated by the prospect of old age, but your senior yourself will definitely thank you for being willing to go through those incredibly irritating urges to eat food with very little nutrition but lots of dopamine reward.

[@theartofbanana]

for me its not the sugar that I crave or something, Im just, I forgot the whole day that I need to eat, than Im hungry whats the easiest fastest way to get over with this, so a bar of chocolate won often. But its also bad for the stomach and everything , high bloodsugar and what not. Nowadays I found some other ways to have easy food in reach, shakes and some kitchen changes like a rice cooking machine, but its still a pain. but "quitting sugar" without an alternative would not have helped a bit. Unfortunately there is no professional help for these problems, all dietary consultants I spoke with are only specialized on people who eat too much, no one is there for the adhd I forgot eating and run on cheese and chocolate while being actually underweight crowd

[@NiaLaLa_V]

My doctor taught me that there are studies on ADHD that concluded we need more protein and less caffeine. I took her advice and it worked wonders for me. When I forget to eat and work all day I get sick as hell, but if I just remember to get protein in me throughout the day I am fine.

[@laceyl5682]

I've had eating disorders for decades. I can't have any treats in the house, or anything that gives me that high, or I'll eat all of it. Even things like gr bagels, I can't have because I'll use them as a vessel for peanut butter and eat two or three in an evening. The temptation is too great so I only buy a small singular treat a couple of times a week. I've almost managed to cut out crisps. I now only have lentil chips things and I make sure I only buy a small packet. I can't have biscuits or crackers and I can't keep ingredients for baking, as I'll cook and eat an entire bake. It all makes perfect sense now I know why.

[@laceyl5682]

I feel this. I've starting making treats like that a thing I have to go out for, like go to the ice cream shop etc So if I really want it I'll go but usually I'd rather stay home haha and the things I keep at home require some amount of preparation so I also have to really want it lol

[@angelabreeland1202]

This resonated deeply. I was able to connect my bake and binge (same with shopping) to my other emotions and have worked really hard to replace those behaviors. (So many years! And still working at it) I really don't bake anymore either. I wonder if that's why? Hmmm. I feel some self reflection coming on. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@BigyetiTechnologies]

In the north of England (I think) is a frozen food chain called Heron. I go in there, I'll always end up buying loads of snacks and treats because they get limited runs of different stuff and sell it really cheap. The worst for me recently is these bags of broken chocolate biscuits for £1.30. I can put away most of a bag in a day. But they'll also do big bags of Danish pastries, or ice cream that's dirt cheap. I should really stay out of there

So many with adhd end up with prediabetes or diabetes... stinks and we don't want to deal with it but it truly can make a huge health changes not just mood/ mental challenges as health struggles with high insulin are many including eyesight and cardiac issues. Is sugar the cause of ADHD- no but it can exacerbate many issues that make life harder. GAPS diet and feingold diet both have been shown to greatly improve baseline functionality for neurodivergent individuals as gut health is a huge part of brain fog, impulsivity, sleep issues, etc.

[@NiaLaLa_V]

Just eat higher protein, in whatever form you do protein. It even works for us vegans, getting more protein is a gamechanger for ADHD.

[@sacrilegiousboi978]

@@NiaLaLa_V yes, eating more protein will help with neurotransmitter production including that of dopamine. Also healthy fats too like extra virgin olive oil, butter, ghee, coconut oil (which we were brainwashed into thinking caused heart attacks) as that will help absorption of the protein. Cutting out sugar and refined carbs prevents blood sugar spikes and crashes which ADHDers and people with mood disorders are more sensitive to

[@woofbarkyap]

Yes but... what has really helped me is shifting away from mass produced, over-processed stuff full of artificial sweeteners. Palm oil etc. I can still binge a whole cake at once if I'm not careful but I get much less fog, distractedness and physical symptoms than eating even a small amount of highly processed stuff. Even a small salad with pasta from a garage will have me staring at the wall for an hour whereas a large cheesecake made from good ingredients has me sorting out the laundry, cleaning the house and mowing the lawn!

[@laceyl5682]

Now that's friggin interesting. I hadn't even thought about all the other factors in the processed sweets giving the brain fog too! So maybe even using organic high quality version of the junk such as thrive market etc would be an improvement in how we feel

Vegetable oil is one of the most toxic and inflammatory and hormonal disrupting things we consume in large quantities, arguable much worse than sugar, and we’ve only been doing it for the last 40-50 years or so.

Getting off of cane sugar and HFCS was a game changer for me. I also got off of folic acid. Most people with ADHD are intolerant of folic acid, and early exposure to it can trigger the development of ADHD. It also worsens symptoms in those who have ADHD. Check all your food labels, especially the grains. If it says "enriched" or "fortified," it has folic acid in it, and you likely can't tolerate it.

[@stuartarthur9844]

So (and I hope Roxanne sees this cause I'd love her opinion) excess sugar intake, excess alcohol, excess substances can have a very similar effect on me and my decision making. Only difference is I'm more "aware" of my behaviour and thought process if it's only sugar. I'm currently 2 years sober from Alcohol and 3 years sober from drugs but need to be very careful when it comes to sugar consumption as it can produce similar effects to me drinking and drugging. I have tried to quit sugar altogether and it's like all the colour is turned off from my life, add to this I also have autism and a lot of comfort or safe food is packed with sugar. Cutting down on sugar makes me feel as though I have my ADHD more under control than normal and can give me a more streamlined less boxed in hyper focus but those hyper focuses aren't always as lucid as what they have been. I call them blurry hyper focus (like Im in a hyper focus but squinting throughout)

[@bubbles2153]

I’m not medically trained or anything so no idea whether what I’ve read is true or not but there was an article I read recently by a medical person about how sugar releases seratonin in the brain and seratonin causes dopamine levels to drop in the brain so it looks like there could be something in that but, sugar or junk food doesn’t cause ADHD in the first place.

[@duncanwraight]

trying to get my ADHD 6yo to eat anything other than sugar is.. a challenge! at one point, before his diagnosis, I tried to really restrict his sugar intake and if I'm completely honest I didn't notice any difference in his behaviour/mannerisms. so yeah, it might have a small impact, and obviously it's good for your general physical/mental wellbeing, but as you say, it's certainly not going to "cure" ADHD

[@angeladyson7367]

😂 I used ro go through a four pack of chunky KitKats daily, no exaggeration! I soon started to smell a bit yeasty so I got scared and quit. The smell disappeared after a few days 😂 I went on a low carb diet for a couple of years and found my thinking, energy, skin, weight etc massively improved. I was probably more hyper though after the first 10 days. It was one of those duets where you fast from all carbs, dairy, gluten for 10 days followed by a carb feast the eve of the 10th day where you eat what you like until full then you're back to carb fasting for 4 days and so the cycle continues. It was excellent until Christmas then I'd fall off the wagon over Christmas then start back up a few days after new years. I soon started to make my carb feasts much healthier and found that worked even better for my health as a whole. I couldn't sustain it though so I switched to the Mediterranean diet which is much better.

[@angelabreeland1202]

It's so true. I do feel massively better when I eat less sugar, less highly palatable food, and eat more veg, lean protein, and lots of water, and exercise regularly, and sleep min 8 hours. But I'm still well and true ADHD. LOL but I do feel much much better over all.

I eat four one after another in 20 mins max.

[@Jay-ql4gp]

Lol yeah.

I like food, but chocolate bars will make me crash. My girls love sugar. I'm still Adhd, but my eldest is super.

[@briana9918]

Just a thought that the brain needs glucose to function and our adhd brains are higher-powered so they need more glucose than others. Shame our pancreas and genes (in my case my fat cells) might not get the memo.

[@Solitude11-11]

It can function even better burning fat rather than glucose. Keto/low carb.

My brain works pretty well when I stick with eating less than 50 grams of carbs a day. I've been doing this for three years

[@Wesenskern]

You might want to look into Durianrider here on KZbin. He has ADHD too and eats very high carb, low fat, fruit based, and seems to be doing really well. Very lean and healthy.

@@Wesenskern I'll have a look although if a dude, what works for men and boys doesn't work as well for women and girls, also we are the ones who do most of the food related tasks which with poor executive function skills amounts for a lot more difficulties for us than for men and boys

Before my last period, I ate 750g of Nutella in 24hrs. Got my period & the thought of chocolate made me sick. Hormones are a bitch on steroids with adhd

We're LOOKING FOR DOPAMINE! that's why we SEEK sugar but not it's bad for us in the long run.

Those comments didn’t bother me until his apology basically made it worse 🤣🤦‍♀️

[@arkadikoshuman2416]

I can also confirm that the ice cream in the freezer should always be in there, although I never link it to any neurological predisposition such as adhd or thought about adhd for that matter. I didn't consider it that there was such food that that exacerbates adhd behavior🤔

[@shaye6598]

Oh no I’m just the same.

[@PressPowerPlay]

It's helpful but also... How much more miserable would we all be if we never eat sugar ever again?

[@katzenbekloppt_mf]

Yeahhhh...🤷🏽‍♀️
