diet and adhdYou know how filling your car with cheap gas leaves your engine pinging and knocking? The link between ADHD and diet isn’t far off. Eat the wrong foods, or don’t eat, and you will be more distracted and less motivated.

Your ADHD brain is like a high-performance car. It runs better on quality fuel with regular pit stops. Just this simple change will make controlling your ADHD symptoms tons easier.

Food is fuel for the ADHD brain. Which is why your diet is vital to your brain’s performance.

If you want an easier life with ADHD you have to take the link between diet and ADHD seriously. That’s why we cover the ADHD-Friendly Diet early in the ADHD Success Club.

It’s natural to resist this change. It’s easy to get attached to eating chips and sodas and missing breakfast. But, I’ve seen this over and over. When I get someone to shift their eating habits getting their ADHD out of the way becomes so much easier. They are on the way to creating a life they dream of having.

So, what kind of fuel does the ADHD brain need?

Today I’ll share a quick summary of the best diet for ADHD. Also, what foods you want to avoid if you have Attention Deficit. Simply put, the wrong diet makes ADHD symptoms worse.

I challenge you to experience the link between ADHD and diet for yourself. Try eating ADHD-friendly foods throughout the day and notice how your brain works.

  • Procrastinate less?
  • If you’re taking ADHD medications, do they work better?

I can almost guarantee you’ll notice a direct link between ADHD and diet. Just like most of my private ADHD coaching clients and ADHD Success Club members.
