Yes, cutting down, getting rid of the resistance to make it as easy as possible.

Miguel, we've spoken a lot about the emotional side of eating and nutrition and the shame that can come with that conversation.

But just before we go, is there any groundbreaking new research that you think will blow the mind of the ADHD Chatter audience in regards to diet and nutrition?

I was smiling, Miguel, as you said that, because I imagined myself going to the supermarket after this conversation and going, I'm going to do this health kick and buying all the beetroot and the carrots and the broccoli and maybe doing it for two days.

And then they all go moldy in the fridge and it's another disaster.

Consistency, is that a little side tip?

Like, have you got any tips to sort of stay consistent?

I know you don't beat yourself up if you're not consistent all the time, but is there any tips there to try and stay consistent?

are having a bit of a beige day or a beige week no so i think i'd probably like to leave it as that yeah no that's closing advice a brilliant closing advice i want to move on miguel to often the most unpredictable part of the show lovely i love predictability i never know what's going to be in the washing machine of woes which is behind me and that's where the audience questions come out of

And it's called a washing machine because my ADHD item is the washing machine because I always forget my clothes in the machine after the cycle is finished.

So this is also a bit of a public service announcement to remember to empty your machine if it's full still.

Although I have been using the Timo app, which has helped me remember that I'm still a work in progress.

Right, this week, Dr. Miguel, the audience, on the topic of ADHD and autism and ADHD and nutrition specifically, the three most upvoted questions are the first one.

As someone with ADHD, I know there are certain foods I should keep away from, but my autism makes me just want to eat the same thing again and again.

How can I manage this conflict and get a healthier diet?

such a brilliant way to think about it and fantastic advice thank you miguel and the second most upvoted question from the washing machine of woes is can food really help so much with someone's brain function i don't believe it

A skeptic.

Super interesting, Miguel.

Thank you very much.

And just finally, we probably covered this quite in depth already, but the final question is, why is diet so hard to get right, especially for someone with ADHD?
