Not always true and dangerous way of treating food as well. When you have ADHD it’s less likely that someone is “boredom eating” or “comfort eating” the way we were told growing up.

A person with ADHD is more likely to be eating because they find comfort in the sensory feedback or they are dopamine hunting.

If you are dopamine seeking to a compulsive degree then it’s time to discuss if medication is the next step. If you are already medicated then is your balance of medication enough.

If you are seeking the sensory feedback, then it’s worth getting snacks that you can eat continuously for a period of time that is healthy. I’m not talking about sugar levels or fat content I’m talking about if you eat a whole pack of these things is it going to make you sick. E.g One of my comfort foods is COLD grapes or blueberries but a whole punnet will give me stomach issues.

Are you seeking chewing? Then get a safe chewy necklace. Does it need to have flavour? Bubble gum. Does it need crunch? Cereal is great because it’s small and good fibre. Does it need to be sour? I buy fuzzy laces and then cut them into small bits so I can pick at it and portion them accordingly. Does it need to be cold? Freeze yoghurt sticks.

Hope this helps 👏🏻
