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.

fibre reduces the absorption of nutrition in the gut, but it doesn't erase bad nutrition.

This is very easy to test at home, get a glucose meter and eat your favorite fibre and sugar together and see what your blood sugar will do... it will still spike.
