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 brainA primer on gentle nutrition for ADHDStrategies for coping with emotional eating, eating for stimulation, sensory issues, and other common ADHD challengesADHD-friendly tips and hacks for shopping, meal-planning, food prep, cooking, cleaning, and moreSimple formulas for creating easy meals and snacksRecommendations for how to approach your diet while you’re on medicationAnd 40 delicious, easy, ADHD-friendly recipes

Even better than I expected. In a house full of people with ADHD it gave a lot of context about why we are the way we are with food. I’ve tried a couple of the recipes in the back of the book and they’ve been easy and delicious!

Our daughter has ADHD. She’s still a child, but we felt like it would be helpful to look ahead at what she can expect, and maybe help her make choices while she’s young to set her up for success as an adult. There are so many things in this book, that are like, okay that’s why you’re acting this way to this food, or about hunger cues etc. so it has been super helpful to understand her, and her body better. The concept of intuitive eating is also interesting, and one we’d like to look into more. My wife’s mother had anorexia, and it really affected my wife’s relationship with food, so reading this has been eye opening for her about her own body, and relationship with food. She doesn’t have ADHD, but some of the ways that an ADHDer interacts with food are relatable to her as well. The only problems with the book are some typos or formatting things that are just a pinch off, and the author occasionally is a little excessive in her “this is my privilege so I don’t understand such and such,” which is unnecessary in my opinion, but other’s may appreciate it.

I’m not sure what I expected from this book, but wow. WOW.This family has a few neurodivergent members, both immediate and extended/by marriage. I’m always looking for things to recommend to my family members as well as ways to make life easier for my loved ones. A person who struggles with ADHD or symptoms consistent with ADHD may have experiences or feelings around food but not know how to name them, and this book does a great job explaining different eating patterns or habits, how they relate to ADHD, and how to “life hack” them to improve your relationship with food. It’s the kind of book that can only be written by someone with both education (the author is a MS, RDN) and life experience (the author has ADHD). Especially for people diagnosed later in life and without parents who were able to put these ideas into practice and model them, this book will help you make sense of things in your life relating to food that non-ADHD people take for granted.The recipes in the book are also incredibly easy and add some helpful hacks for managing the preparation and clean-up with ADHD. I won’t spoil the book for you, but if you have ADHD or know someone who has ADHD, this book is fantastic. I wish there were guides like this about other topics!

The bulk majority of this book reads and flows almost like a textbook in the best way. Lots of images, infographics, bullet points and subtopic blocks that help lay out all of the information in an easy to digest (pun intended) format. While the focus of this book is for individuals with diagnosed ADHD, the vast majority of the learnings seem relative to just about anyone looking to help guide themselves into healthy eating habits.This guide does a great job of helping understand the “what” and “why” of a lot of things before going into the “how” of making change and proper choices. I love that it is not diet focused as so many fads revolve around losing weight versus just improving healthy and making informed choices.
