Great conversation. Related to this idea about not having food noise--I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and a week ago I started taking Adderall. My very first dose of the drug was a revelation. It was like putting on a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, but for all the stray thoughts in my mind. It took away all the chatter and I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on and only that for maybe the first time in my life. I hadn't previously realized how much internal chatter I was dealing with all the time. Along with all that chatter went the "food noise". Separate from that, Adderall, like many stimulants, is an appetite suppressant. But what I'm talking about is a distinct different feeling. I'm not hungry when on the drug, and that's fine for me in my body as it is currently. But the not thinking about food constantly is like being freed from a prison, or so I imagine. So this has me wondering about links for neurodivergent people to binge eating and how much of the binging comes from ADHD in some people. It's not lost on me that something must have caused food noise to become a component of the excess chatter in my mind to begin with. Certainly there are people with ADHD who don't think about food all the time. I think that's related to the way I've used food to comfort myself. Also, I'm noticing that I was likely using food to lessen my ADHD symptoms. If thinking about food (what will I eat next? how soon can I eat? a sandwich sounds really good. I don't need to eat--I'm not even hungry. Or am I hungry? should I call Grubhub?) was a big portion of the chatter going on in my head, and it absolutely was, then it makes sense that eating became a way to temporarily quiet down some of the chatter.
Hi Ladies 🌻, loving this video ❤. Thank you for all your great work. Your conversation was really helpful. I love this channel. You have conversations, guests, you are always giving us great content.Thank you ❤.
Eye-opening conversation ❤I have a question: Have you struggled with gaining weight after releasing restriction? the idea of potential weight loss (and fear of weight gain) is still quite present 😢 for a lot of people

Krumpets are pancakes one side and holes on top. Made of pancake type batter. Trader Joe’s sells them in the US but not as good as homemade.
