I've tried a lot of diets, and I have a lot of trouble committing and maintaining structure. I eat out every day. I don't exercise much. I'm having trouble with willpower fasting. Still I think the most "ADHD friendly" way of dieting is likely fasting. It requires little practical restructuring of ones life, just commitment and willpower. Do you all have anything better? Any advice?

@EthicalAI Chosen, or actual?

I would like to be able to eat more veggies and unprocessed food, but in practice I eat what I'm able to get fixed quickly.

I've gotten good at finding frozen veg mixes that I can combine with nut butter or fresh cheese to make a sort of sauce by heating it in the microwave for a few minutes. But availability of these is very sporadic, and stores will frequently stop carrying them for no particular reason.

So if all I can manage for a given meal is a packet of ramen, that's what I'm gonna shovel into my mouth to keep me going another few hours.
