Back Again...with ADHD and hEDS

I do eat late at night and have a vicious craving for doughy sweets, cookies, honey buns with the icing etc. When I focus I lose weight quickly but since my diet is tied to emotional eating,…

Deloading tips?
Would 2 days instead of 4 still be an effective deload and some cardio? Or should I perform the 4 day upper/lower split at lower volume? It's been 9 weeks since I deloaded, and missed 1 day since.

Now I am trying to change my relationship with food, to not use food as a stress reliever and to really understand healthy eating with weight loss being a very handy by-product of that. Added bonus that if I can retrain…
