What's your chosen diet as someone with ADHD/Autism (beehaw.org)

I've tried a lot of diets, and I have a lot of trouble committing and maintaining structure. I eat out every day. I don't exercise much. I'm having trouble with willpower fasting. Still I think the most "ADHD friendly" way of dieting is likely fasting. It requires little practical restructuring of ones life, just commitment and willpower. Do you all have anything better? Any advice?

The thing is, everything I cook for myself taste like dog vomit. So I end up wasting more food than if I went out to a place and got exactly what I want, in a single portion.

It takes practice! The dog vomit will improve in flavor after each iteration! After a year or two you will develop habits and raw muscle memory as well, its hard.

Get good at doing one dish with one mode of prep and slowly enlarge your repertoir. Like start with potatoes, or rice and chicken. Then get good at salads. Its fine if you arent a chef immediatly, for real!
