  • First off you should do black coffee instead of monster. I know it sucks but it’s a zero calorie beverage. Monster is poison. I actually just last year got diagnosed and I’m on Vyvanse (highly recommend over Adderall) one thing I noticed early on with the medication, that may help you depending on what your symptoms are, I actually realized that I was more capable of breaking my attention away from things without experiencing the anxiety of feeling like I will completely forget about it, than I normally am. I’m not sure how you can simulate this without the medication before you can get yours, maybe try writing more things down or redirecting yourself? Now I’ve been on the meds long enough I don’t really notice much of the effect anymore, but I’ve also noticed behaviors in myself that allow me to intervene on my ADHD symptoms without the medication every single day. I hope the medication helps you as well, and hopefully in the meantime you can get by with mindfulness tactics. I should have gotten diagnosed younger!










  • RN here, it’s because your body has a more difficult time accessing the sugars in fruit form. They are wrapped up in multiple types of fiber which add bulk to your digestive system and serve as kind of a shield for your body to less easily access the sugar. The juice is essentially just the sugar with all the fiber strained out, has others have said this causes a situation where you can drink the calories from like 18 oranges in 45 seconds, and your body can access it immediately and easily. This is also why whole fruit is actually a good thing for diabetics because the glycemic index is actually pretty low.
