I am always surprised when I am reminded of people who use amphetamine meds off-label for weight loss, because even though I don’t have an appetite while I’m taking them, there’s always a few hours before bed after they wear off when I can’t stop myself from eating everything in the pantry.
Massively. The fact I’ll usually vape cannabis around that time for sure doesn’t help though 😁
I’d be lying if I said I don’t do that myself
Partly. Usually if I am not 100% focused doing some task but can let my mind wander around.
I’m not on a stimulant beside caffeine. But I have noticed a similar issue. 3 things I do to help:
- Plan for it. I intentionally plan for my meals to be larger as the day progresses so dinner is the biggest.
- I give myself “free” things to eat with no guilt. If I want to eat a giant bowl of cooked broccoli, no worries.
- Don’t buy things you will dopamine crave. If you have junk food at arms reach, you will eat it. I try to stick up on protein bars and fresh fruit.
Unmedicated ADD here. I’ve stopped trying to control my binge eating so I manage it by only eating once a day right before bed. Not healthy mentally or physically but its the best I can do
