A good example of this is kids, young kids with no knowledge of nutrition....why do we have kids throwing tantrums for junk foods, sodas, sweets? Why do kids have hyper outbursts over these foods....then massive downers??? Why do we have behavioral problems linked to additives in these foods?? We don't have these issues…

The alcohol, tobacco and gambling industries now all have to pay costs and have rules about advertising they have to contribute $$$ to prevention programs medical research.......hmmmm at what point do you think fast food giants, soft drink companies, cola cola and the likes should start becoming liable for the ingredients?…

The financial association of DSM-5 panel members within industry continues to be a concern for financial conflict of interest.

No they are not the 'same' as addiction is broken into the 2 categories, but doesn't change the fact they are both addictions and very very hard to beat they cause positive highs followed by extreme lows....anyway read this it explains it better than I ever could http://www.asam.org/for-the-public/definition-of-addiction

I've read so many studies I've also competed in 4 figure comps.....I'm scared to say there is no exact formula it all comes down to the individual and you can't just target the one nutrient either as it's the combo of the PCF that varies hugely between each and every person! Yes you can look at as many 'guidelines' or…

Alcohol addiction-so yes it exists? Right?-substance abuse (must be cut out completely there's no going back to moderation) Drug addiction-so yes it exists? Right?-substance abuse(must be cut out completely no moderation) Sex addiction-so yes it exists? Right?-addiction to a feel/need(can't be cut out completely must be…

I've found a group but it looks like it's not used http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/9332-the-add-adhd-group I've joined and made a post perhaps we could get it going again and use for a bit of support

This is also what I do lists, lists and more lists!! Lifting weights actually helps me a lot!!! I use a gym timer so again it's fully controlled stops me getting bored and having a mediocre workout! The feeling of being strong gives me confidence I guess I don't look at it as self care, I look at it as the only thing I'm…

Sorry don't use MFP on weekends.....4 kids and I work weekends!!! I can get so dedicated to the point I've done 4 figure comps but the second the comps are over I go the other way! Just before Christmas I got back on the wagon got to my goal weight and fairly low fat as soon as Christmas hit and kids home I lost my way…

B) That's what I'm here for hahaha

I was told once a person that fidgets there fingers or feet may use an extra 50cals a day but in the scheme of things really it needs to be looked as a bonus rather than extra calories burned.

Hi I'm Rachel and I'm now in tears reading these stories, I feel so alone like no one understands but all these stories are me they are the struggles I go though!! I was diagnosed 11 years ago, I'm 38 now. I never passed school, I have failed everything I've started, I go all gunhoe into everything then stop and never…

Inattentive is generally suffered by girls, I was on Dex for a long time the side effects didn't go away so they put me on downers as well then I got side effects from them....in the end I was a different person :unamused: so I threw them all away

I'm the inattentive type ADD B)

This health and fitness thing is the only thing I'm good at!!! I've been trying for 20 years to complete my personal training certificates but I just keep failing!! I know the stuff but I just can't get the courses the paper work finished!! So if you have any questions just ask

Are you on meds?

I don't take meds anymore as I lost too much weight because I was never hungry!! Many ADD/ADHD suffers are over weight due to the compulsive nature we have and the inability to have self control...so most woman with the condition have eating issues, I'm either compulsive healthy and fit as a fiddle or I'm lazy and…

OMG all these replies with guns pulled on you!!!!.......thank f$&k I live in Australia and the gun happy mentality isn't something we have!

I drive a big jacked up 4wd, I also have rear spot lights and big tow bar........so if it's night I blind the *kitten* with the spotties or if it's daytime I break hard!!!! They won't damage my truck but they will have a tow ball through there radiator lol

Even better banana dipped in chocolate lol (which is anoth thing I do in summertime as a sweet dessert without as much guilt as say another type of dessert

That's what I'm trying to get at! I have a really really bad sweet tooth wether it's the sugar in fruit or chocolate I need to eat sweet stuff! That's why I started by replacing my sugar in coffee with artificial sweeteners then slowly tried to reduce my chocolate intake but I still need sweet things! I was replying to the…

Broccoli isn't sweet enough to start with!!! But bananas on the other hand I've eaten 4-5 ripe ones in one go, it's not unusual for me to have 3-4 apples in one go or even 10 apricots ....what's your point here? I had a full punnet of blueberries yesterday and a punnet of tomatoes on my way home from supermarket still had…

I still have chocolate every day though!

I swapped sugar for artificial sweetener in my coffee....then slowly cut back NOT cut out chocolate

Warm protein power has never worked for me!! Always seperates and ends up a revolting mess BUT there is an awesome but.....iced coffee works amazing!!!!! Coffee, protein and cold milk/water with a few ice blocks yummo!!!

I've had spring rolls like the fried cheap kind but not from a proper restaurant as such! I came upon them by accident at the supermarket and thought 17 sheets for $1.50 I'll give them a try! I've just been wrapping carrot, cucumber, chicken and avocado in them and dipping in a little ketchup manis....so yummy and you can…
