- That's right! The worst foods for ADHD! A while ago i did a video discussing the best foods for ADHD, and due to a comment i received on that video asking about what foods to avoid, coupled with the fact that i am dieting again due to some weight gain, i thought why not do a video discussing which foods are bad for your ADHD.
Thanks for watching!

I’ve always thought it was weird that coffee and soda never seemed to have a stimulant effect on me, this makes me feel validated!
omfg .... i literally thought it was just normal to get sleepy after drinking coffee ..... damn
Same! Coffee just upsets my stomach and that's it so I rarely drink it. This is wild!
I always found it funny how others are jittery and can't sleep after drinking a cup of coffee.... While I finished off a pack of star bucks or a couple Java Monsters and can pass out like normal. I've had people tell me I need drink coffee when I looked tired and I just snicker and say, that will more likely make me want to fall asleep. Been asked why drink Java monsters are such if don't work... It's cause I like the taste.
@@timhadaway9093 never had issues with being believed, but prob cause they watch me down a 54 oz cup of coffee and it has not effect on me and I look like I'm gonna pass out an hour latter. Downed Javas monsters at one job and I'd be ready to keel over within 1-2 hours after lol and they be like how hell drink that and be tired.. I'm like ADHD, Coffee more likely to put me to sleep than wake me up xD.
But if I can't have sugar, dyes, preservatives, soda, and salicylates, what the hell am I going to eat?! 🙃
It's almost possible to eat without it.

Haha Avi is right it's hard not to eat them 😅 but like I said these aren't the worst things ever, they just dont do well with adhd, you can avoid them to a certain degree though :)
@@avi486 AIR....perhaps some tasty water....with a side of tofo :)
Meat, fats, nuts, seeds, veggies and fruits I guess. Oh- but that’s not much of anything.. 😉
I'm 34 years old and just got my 1st Prescription of adderall today. I never even knew I had adhd. I'm excited to see the change.
Hey how is it going for you
Start at the lowist dose and stay healthy and you can use day on day of technic also
@@adnanrifai8475 don't really feel anything. I'm on 10mg extended release. They said it would take like 3 weeks to feel any difference but as of now nothing
@@tavareasy anything new?
Sugary foods is especially bad for people who take medication for ADHD since the most common side effect is a dry mouth which will even furtherer deteriorate your dental health since it prevents the mouth from returning to a normal PH after eating sugary foods which will exacerbate tooth decay.
Makes total sense. Thanks for the tip.
Does anyone else find that you crave bright colors?? In my layman's brain, I wonder if it increases the dopamine because they make me happy!
I spent twelve fricking dollars on a cook book about how to cook unicorn food.
I feel you, just looking through the pictures just brightens my day! :D
Oh my gosh yes. Or for me things that are shiny 😂
I used to do my hair crazy colors because of the dopamine dump when I would look at myself in the mirror 🤪
@@idealistic6440 that sounds awesome :DDDD now i want to know how to cook unicorn food!
I'm such a major sugar fiend. I know it makes me feel shit but it's hard to stop lol
Hellloooo! I've never met anyone else who described themselves as a 'sugar fiend'! 😄😁😃🙋♀️
Same here
I just got diagnosed with anxiety and mostly inattentive ADHD a couple months ago and idk why your channel was recommended to me but it's been educational and interesting
Seeing a psychiatrist April first my doctor said I 99 percent definitely do have add
Me: He's gonna tell me I can't have coffee isn't he?
Him: Caffeine is real bad!
Me: DAMMIT
Me first thought was exacly yours!
Aleya Julias my therapist said that having half of a regular cup of coffee can actually been OK and beneficial
I have ADHD and I’m 14.
I have a coffee before but only two times
But coffee is so good ;-;
I don’t like coffee but alcohol is worse
There is very little research saying caffeine is bad for people with ADHD, but there is a lot of research showing it is good for people with ADHD!Just be careful mixing too much caffeine with stimulant medications (especially if you consume nicotine on top), as you’re then consuming more than one stimulant. Of course just like some people with ADHD don’t do well on stimulant medication, some might have the same side effects from caffeine as it’s also a stimulant! There is also research showing that it can reduce your risk of diabetes, dementia, parkinsons, some cancers and heart disease- though if you’re already on stimulant medications it’s worth noting that’s generally bad for you heart and caffeine will only make it worse.
If you’re looking to making healthy dietary changes to reduce the symptoms of ADHD, I’d first look at adding things to your diet and then slowly eliminating thing’s you suspect could be making it worse. Adding whole grains, healthy fats, lean protein and fruits, berries and vegetables is much easier than removing a bunch of stuff, doing it gradually is also a good idea as it’ll be easier to stick to and less side effects of suddenly consuming four times the amount of fibre. Then it’ll also come naturally to stop consuming things that are bad for you. (I’m very aware of the struggle of all or nothing thinking though...) When it comes to caffeine there will also be a difference in how it’s consumed, energy drinks (especially energy shots) are really bad for many reasons outside of the stupid amounts of caffeine they cram into them (like sugar and artificial everything.)
But summed up, unless you have high blood pressure and it doesn’t make you more irritable, anxious or makes it harder to sleep- enjoy your cup of coffee :)
Me before the video starts: *he’s gonna say caffeine is bad isn’t he*
Him in the video: caffeine is a terrible idea and it overstimulates the mind
Me in the video: *surprised pikachu*
Hi I research ADD and I stumbled across your channel! I just wanted to comment on some things during this video.
Sugar can actually help you if you have ADD, it can calm you down and actually help you focus. But normally you shouldn’t eat too much. 1:20
The reasons you feel that way is because the medication is already filled with sugar like properties that help you focus, and overloading it with throw you off. 2:23
Yes, everyone should mainly try to avoid them, it’s not like there’re bad for people just with ADD though, and really doesn’t need to be on this list. 3:34
Yes there is also caffeine like sustenances in the ADHD medication, like sugar. But it’s not really something that is bad for ADD. 4:30
The reason this happens is because they increase they amount of dopamine output into your brain, it’s healthy for people without ADHD but people with it regain the dopamine the ADHD took from their brain. 6:30
Sorry if this seems rude, I’d just like to help people understand more about all 7 types of the ADD world. :) Have a great day.
I don't understand your people with it part😂 . Dont ask😮😅 me to explain
The salicylate part was super interesting! Thank you for the info, I just came across your channel and I’m so glad I did!
You're really funny and relatable! Thanks for all the advice. Glad I found your channel, subbed!
Love your videos! Always such a relief to share this you all. Not that I would ever wish it on someone but there is a peace in knowing I am not alone! Keep up the awesomeness please it is so helpful more than you probably even know!!! B. T. W. I've gained 55lbs the last few months and I have got to get back on track also. I really benefit from avacado and for some reason cilantro too. Garlic and certain peppers are always feel better food for me as well. Ok have a fantastic week. Thank you again for what ya do!!!!!
Aw yay thank you thats such a lovely comment! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos and can relate :) you are deffo not alone :) those are all keto approved foods so I will try them thank you! Let me know if there is ever a topic or something you want me to cover in a video and I will :)
For me it's the reverse with weight. I need to gain! 😄 I've cut out almost all sugar, eating cleaner more fruits, veggies,meats, proteins.
Additives are the worst, grow your own food, buy local if you can contributing to your local economy.
I like your style on these vids ! 😊
As a fellow person with ADHD you sir have earned a new subscriber im trying to learn more about it so i can learn to try and control it better
Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is a salicylate made from sodium salicylate.
I have such a big problem with sugar, it feels like an addiction, and I don't know how to fix it now that I'm on furlough. All this free time is making me snacky, which makes my adhd so bad!
Try a continous glucose monitor
I would recommend B12 energy shots!
thaanks for ll this good info really..
Sugar tends to calm me down more. Makes me tired.
As someone who loves Sprite and probably has ADHD, I’m so glad Sprite doesn’t have caffeine holy shit-
For "sugar" does that mean specifically cane sugar ?? Is agave fine ??
I had to watch this at 2x because it’s long #adhd
Me drinking soda every night to try and get ENERGY: Huh why isn’t this working.
*me that's allowed 2 have candy and that kind of stuff B4 bed and not my sister Bcuz it don't make me more active/doesn't affect me-*
*(sometimes it makes me more sleepy/tired then active-)*
im alrjik to ornigis leminds and any thing with sitris and appols
I have been taking 10 mg of adderall xr for a month then switched to 20 mg xr because I didn’t feel anything and with the 20 mg idk if it is working like it should or if I’m just looking for the euphoric moment from the first time
Its totally normal. When you start meds you start low and go slow. Slowly increase you meds. Its a little delicate dance. Like adjusting a radio station. Slowly increase until you find that sweet spot. It ok if you go a little over. Mosty you will feel like your heart is racing, can't sit still, mind in overdrive. Lile ADHD overload. Just dial it back to that nice sweet spot. Also you dosage has nothing to do with weight, gender, age, etc it is purely based on the individual. So you may feel like 20mg of adderall is high but I was on 40mg. You may benefit from even higher than that. I've also had a friend who was on 15mg of adderall and she was taller, larger, and the same age as me. But my dose was much higher. And there is always a change adderall is not for you. You might benefit from biphentin or concerta, etc. There are lots of different options. You just need to find the best one for you through trial and error.

Well-
It don't really matter 2 me-
I cant eat apples anymore-
It's weird but 4 some reason I can't swallow them-
I've literally not been able 2 eat them 4- like-
Like ever ago-
The others listed I just don't like-
*(I'm veRY VeRY picky-)*
I looooove The Office
What do we eat then🙃
Aw.. but I love oranges and grapes
After a few days of not eating junk I feel soooo much better and so different
So I shouldn't eat fruit anymore? :(
I don’t gain weight though, I’m almost 15 and I’m 81 pounds and 4,9 and I eat and is it just me or does anyone else with adhd or any other mental disorder don’t like a certain food because of the texture because I foods like Roman and a different pasta but not speggi and it makes me gag and both my older twin brother and I hate milk but I like ice cream but he dosent because it’s cold and he has autism and we both like water and orange pop and both hate Roman and both love speggi and we also both sleep like we’re dead because we don’t move or anything when we’re asleep and wake up early
Me too
I’m not diagnosed with anything, but I understand the texture and taste thing, since I was like 5 anytime I eat vegetables I gag on the food and start crying even tho I want to eat it, and because of the constant gagging I am now terrified of being forced to eat veggies and when a person forces me to I cry and start freaking out. I always tell people that it’s the texture and taste making me gag and so I tried finding out why and google didn’t tell me shit. And I hate extremely spicy food or the smell of pinakurat (Filipino spicy sauce). It makes me gag and I can’t stand the smell. And any sauce mixed with rice makes me feel like throwing up. But my sister and my mum love pinakurat so anytime they have a bowl of the sauce I just stay far away cause I hate the smell🤢
And ketchup too, I hate the taste and smell😭
Like I’ll be eating a bowl of food and I can immediately identify that there is a vegetable of some sort in it just from the texture or taste and my mind just latches onto the fact that “there is a veggie in my food, don’t throw up, don’t throw up, don’t throw up”
I started researching adhd cause my friends kept mentioning it in off-handed jokes to me about my behaviour and started making me question whether I rlly have it or not.😂
Sugary drinks are good.
czcams.com/video/_tpB-B8BXk0/video.html go to 8.59 (Name of the CZcams video is: This is how you treat ADHD based of science Dr Russell Barkley)
And something else:
A Dutch doctor discovered all people with ADHD need a personal diet. This is breaking news for the world, and her foundings were placed in the highest international magazine you can be in for doctors (My mother language isn't English, but you do understand).
She examined kids. One ate a lot of chocolate. But some time after he ate it, he was more hyper than before. Another became hyper from dairy products. Another from gluten.
What will happen if you tried, for example, to skip milk products for a week?
I hope this helps.
I can't help it sugar rules but salt is better.
Yes my guy! Savory for the win!
I am undiagnosed but that energydrink thing is 100% me. At one point in my life, if i had trouble sleeping, i could down 6 redbulls, one after the other in about 10-15 minutes and then go to sleep.
Lol, I have gained like, 100 pounds in the last three months. My doctor said its unhealthy and if I continue it could.lead to serious health problems...😑😔
You got this!👊🏽💪🏾
My ear hurts for no particular reason.
Edit: that’s just a random adhd thought
I drank 4 cans of pop and a cup of coffee
To be honest nobody should eat any of these things. These are good tips for everyone.
WHY IS THERE A HIGH PITCH NOISE IN THE BACKROUND!?!?!?!?!?
Have you watched “Supersize Me”?
here is the link...

I could drink coffee or red bull and go to sleep an hour later easily 😅
When your meds don’t work so
If he says I can not have candy ima cry. 😭 AHHHHHHHH why does life have to be so hard
Maybe sugarless diabetic type candy is a somewhat adequate substitute? Still color dyes and preservatives so not the biggest safe thing but you shouldnt be eating sweets regularly anyhow
R multi grain cheerios good 4 u-
TnT
TvT
○v○
I LIKE CANDYYYY😢😢😢 does that mean i cant have it? (i have adhd)
You made me crave sugar
Me watching it at higher speed to get my adhd brain satisfied
I didn't realize how much I hated people talking slow until I read and tried your comment lol,but im not sure if I have adhd or not,I show alot of the symtoms but my brains like "you're faking it" and "its just the other symptoms of your other mental disorders" im nervous to talk about my mom about it though, I don't want to make her life harder T-T
