I'm covering the idea of whether "eat what you want" is helpful or a hindrance when you are pursuing weight loss as someone with ADHD. This all came about from a comment I saw someone make about this! I covered:

• How the idea of "eat what you want" might make some people feel or approach weight loss
• The messy middle between rigid structure and total freedom
• Is it helpful to just be told what to do?
• What are some guidelines that I have found really helpful
• What concepts I have seen lead to success for others

I hope this episode is really helpful and that it gives you some ideas in creating your own structure!
