A must for anyone whose ADHD has negatively impacted their diet. - Publishers Weekly

From a registered dietitian living with ADHD, discover a comprehensive guide to cooking and eating as an adult ADHDer, packed with simple strategies, practical tools, and 40 ADHD-friendly recipes.

Figuring out how to nourish your body and mind when you have ADHD can be overwhelming and exhausting. Challenges with executive function, impulsivity, dopamine regulation, and more can lead to a host of obstacles: finding the motivation to cook a meal, remembering to eat, overeating for stimulation, getting adequate nutrition, and more. At their worst, these challenges can have serious consequences for your mental and physical health. But it doesn't have to be this way.

How to Eat Well for Adults with ADHD is a complete guide to how to cook regularly, eat intuitively, and nourish yourself well when you have ADHD. Written by registered dietitian and ADHDer Rebecca King, the "ADHD Nutritionist" (@adhd.nutritionist), this book is not a diet book, but rather a book of solutions to common problems ADHDers experience with food, cooking, and nutrition. Rooted in Rebecca's weight-neutral, intuitive eating-based philosophy, this book breaks down how ADHD affects your relationship with food and gives you the tools to develop a better approach for your ADHD brain.

The book includes:

  • An overview of intuitive eating and why it works for the ADHD brain.
  • A primer on gentle nutrition for ADHD.
  • Strategies for coping with emotional eating, eating for stimulation, sensory issues, and other common ADHD challenges.
  • ADHD-friendly tips and hacks for shopping, meal-planning, food prep, cooking, cleaning, and more.
  • Simple formulas for creating easy meals and snacks.
  • Recommendations for how to approach your diet while you're on medication.
  • And 40 delicious, easy, ADHD-friendly recipes.

Practical, comprehensive, backed by science, but written with the understanding of someone who's actually been there, How to Eat Well for Adults with ADHD helps ADHDers address their challenges with food without shame or pressure. It's a must-read for any ADHDer who's ever struggled in the kitchen and wants to learn how to thrive!

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Public Health with a minor in Women's Studies from the University of South Carolina and a Master of Science in Human Nutrition from Winthrop University. Becca is an adult with ADHD, who struggled for years with disordered eating and chronic dieting, eventually healing her relationship with food through intuitive eating.

Her virtual private practice supports adults and teens with ADHD, who struggle with binge eating, chronic dieting, and body image issues, heal their relationship with food, and find food freedom. Becca's popular Instagram page The ADHD Nutritionist (@adhd.nutritionist), is the #1 page for content relating to ADHD and food.
