The things that get in the way for me are: getting instantly bored with any weight loss strategy, an inability to do things if I’m told I have to, forgetting that I need to lose weight, needing the sensory input of food, inability to recognise when I’m full, hyper-focusing on weight loss for a month and losing a ton of weight and then putting it all back on the next month because I celebrated the weight loss with cake…
I just wonder if there are any ADHD behaviour hacks where I could use my neurospicyness to actually help me lose weight consistently.
At a minimum electrolytes: magnesium, potassium, sodium
The big danger when fasting is actually getting off the fast. If it’s a prolonged fast there is the risk of refeeding syndrome where the body can mobilize too many electrolytes too quickly.
If someone fasts for more then 5 days they should be under medical supervision when they stop fasting (at least the first time).
The protocol is basically eat a tiny amount of zero carb food for a few meals increasing the amount very slowly and supplementing with electrolytes. Like half a hard boiled egg, then 4 hours later a whole egg, then two, etc
