How to Eat Well for Adults with ADHD: A Practical, Non-Diet Guide to Feeding Your Body & Mind When You Have ADHD by Rebecca King

informative reflective

4.5

I originally picked up How to Eat Well for Adults with ADHD by Rebecca King after flipping through and seeing the chapter on kitchen organization and groceries, but the majority of the book's focus on intuitive eating has been even more helpful. 

While the focus is on people with ADHD, this would be really helpful for anyone who struggles with executive function, interoception, or disordered eating. It walks you through what intuitive eating is, how to listen to your body, navigating dopamine and a variety of relationships one might have with food because of this, before getting into nutrition that is less nunbers-focused and then organization and planning. 

This was very helpful for me, but I do have some critiques. While the author mentions studies around nutrition, only some are noted by name. While I like a lot of what she said in these parts, I would feel a lot better had there been an actual works cited page. Additionally, there is a small section in the meal/grocery planning section that mentions using AI for lists. Generally speaking, I don't like AI but there is also not a thorough enough warning about its shortcomings when it comes to food in particular. Thankfully it was a very small segment.
