As somebody with BD and ADHD I’ve always struggled with consistency in eating healthy and maintaining a healthy diet. I’ve noticed that I have better days and my mood drastically improves when I do, but when I’m in a funk or struggling with motivation, I can hardly prioritize it and turn to more convenient, less healthy foods.. especially on meds that give me the munchies. 

Does anybody have any tips or resources that they use use to help with this? I imagine there are diet plans or “grocery lists” available online that can help, or general strategies folks use to use to help with this.

I’m really trying to incrementally improve my self-care (baby steps!) so I don’t overwhelm myself, and I feel like my diet is a good place to focus on right now. I think an aspect of my adhd is that I tend to go all out when I’m feeling motivated, and then have a hard time maintaining the habits when I’m down. I struggle with exercise in the same way.

Thanks!
