ADHD and Weight Loss - How The Yes Diet Can Help
ADHD can affect focus, routines, and impulse control, all of which influence eating habits and weight. The Yes Diet is built to work with your brain and your life.
ADHD, Food, and Weight
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and energy regulation. Beyond concentration and behaviour, ADHD also impacts eating patterns, metabolism, and weight management, making fat loss harder for many adults.
Impulsive Eating
Grabbing quick, high-calorie foods without planning.
Irregular Meals
Skipping meals, then overeating later in the day.
Food for Stimulation
Using snacks/sugar for quick dopamine boosts.
Medication Effects
Appetite changes or rebound cravings when meds wear off.
Routine Difficulty
Strict plans and heavy meal prep can feel overwhelming.

Stabilise blood sugar to reduce energy crashes and cravings.
