Nala has some important info to share:

For people with ADHD, eating well can feel far more complicated than it sounds. It’s not a lack of knowledge or motivation — it’s the combination of executive functioning challenges, time blindness, fluctuating appetite, sensory sensitivities, and decision fatigue. When food feels hard, nutrition is often the first thing to slide, even though it plays a key role in energy, focus, mood, and overall wellbeing.

The goal is not perfect meals or rigid routines. It’s about building simple, repeatable systems that support nourishment — including regular intake of fruit and vegetables, which are essential for both physical health and brain function. With the right strategies, eating can become easier, more consistent, and far less mentally demanding.

WHY EATING CAN FEEL HARD WITH ADHD

Many people with ADHD experience:

Forgetting to eat until they are extremely hungry
Losing interest in food halfway through a meal
Feeling overwhelmed by planning, shopping, or cooking
Difficulty deciding what to eat
Strong sensory preferences or aversions
Low appetite during the day with increased hunger later
These challenges are neurological, not personal failings. Nutrition strategies need to work with these realities, not against them.

SHIFT THE GOAL: NOURISHMENT OVER PERFECTION

For ADHD brains, “good enough” nutrition is far more effective than aiming for ideal or perfectly balanced meals. A meal that includes key nutrients and is eaten consistently will always be more beneficial than a perfectly optimised option that feels too hard to prepare.

Importantly, fruit and vegetables are not optional — they provide fibre, vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds that support gut health, brain function, and long-term wellbeing. The focus is on making them accessible, not perfect.

BUILD SIMPLE “FORMULA MEALS” (INCLUDING PRODUCE)

Instead of relying on recipes, think in simple building blocks:

A carbohydrate for energy
A protein for fullness and focus
A fat for satisfaction
Fruit and/or vegetables for wellbeing and health

Everyone has different nutrition goals but if yours is weight loss a simple swap can make a big difference. 40g of cheddar cheese counts as one serve of your needed dairy or dairy alternatives serves.

40g of cheddar cheese gives your body 10g protein. Cheese is a complete protein which means it has all the essential amino acids that your body needs to make a protein.

Cheese is a great source of calcium and phosphorus which is needed for strong bones and teeth. Calcium is also needed for normal muscle contractions. Also, vitamin A and D and zinc which support your immune system to work at its best. Vitamin D is also needed for your body to absorb calcium properly.

Do you like cheddar 🧀 ?

If you’ve spent any time on social media recently, you’ve probably noticed peptides being promoted as the next big thing in health, beauty, and wellness. Influencers, celebrities, and wellness clinics are increasingly recommending peptides for everything from younger-looking skin and hair growth to faster recovery, improved energy, muscle gain, and healthy ageing.

The reality is that peptides are not inherently good or bad. Some have legitimate medical uses, some show promise in emerging research, and others are being marketed well ahead of the available evidence. Understanding the difference can help you make informed decisions about your health and avoid spending money on products that may not deliver what they promise.

WHAT ARE PEPTIDES?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. They occur naturally throughout the human body and play essential roles in communication between cells.

Your body produces thousands of peptides that help regulate:

Hunger and appetite
Hormone production
Muscle growth and repair
Immune function
Sleep and recovery
Skin structure and healing
Metabolism
Without peptides, your body simply would not function properly.

The recent trend, however, relates to manufactured peptides that are being marketed as supplements, injections, medications, skincare ingredients, or anti-ageing therapies.

NOT ALL PEPTIDES ARE NATURAL

One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding peptides is that because peptides naturally occur in the body, all peptide products must therefore be natural and safe.

This is not necessarily true.

Many peptides promoted online are synthetic compounds created in laboratories. Some are designed to mimic naturally occurring peptides, while others are modified to produce stronger or longer-lasting effects.

Importantly, the term “peptide” tells us very little about the safety, effectiveness, or quality of a product.

Kefir is a fermented milk drink made from milk. It’s traditionally made by culturing milk with kefir grains, which are a mixture of bacteria and yeasts. The texture is similar to a drinkable yogurt with a tangy, slightly acidic flavour. Have you tried kefir?

🚨 PSA: Processed foods are NOT the enemy.

If social media has convinced you that every processed food is “toxic” or “bad,” it’s time to separate fact from fiction.

Here’s something many people don’t realise…

🥛 Milk is processed.
🥣 Rolled oats are processed.
🍞 Wholegrain bread is processed.
🫘 Canned beans are processed.
🥦 Frozen vegetables are processed.
🐟 Tinned tuna is processed.

In fact, almost every food we eat has been processed in some way before it reaches our plate.

Processing often makes food:
✅ Safer to eat
✅ More nutritious
✅ More convenient
✅ More affordable
✅ Longer lasting (which helps reduce food waste!)

Some foods simply wouldn’t be edible without processing. Think about wheat—it has to be harvested, cleaned and milled into flour before it becomes the bread or pasta many of us enjoy every day.

Rather than asking, “Is this food processed?” try asking:
💙 Does it provide fibre?
💙 Does it contain protein?
💙 Does it provide important vitamins and minerals?
💙 Does it help me eat more fruit or vegetables?
💙 Does it fit into an overall balanced eating pattern?

Nutrition isn’t about perfection—it’s about patterns.

At Feed Your Future Dietetics, we believe in practical, evidence-based nutrition without unnecessary food fear or food rules. Eating well should be achievable, enjoyable and sustainable.

👉 Swipe through to learn why processing isn’t the enemy and why many processed foods deserve a place in a healthy diet.
