I'm saying it for years! I don't eat because I'm hungry, I eat because I want the experience of taste.

sometimes I think I literally just need a chewing toy like a dog 💀 I'm chewing gum like24/7 just to prevent overeating and this is barely enough...

The chewing is the thing. I noticed bubblegum helps A LOT.

yep!! I had a binge eating disorder for YEARS before I got medicated. I'm just glad I was able to get meds which allowed me to break the ED habits.

Pink & white wafers. I can sit and eat 2 whole packets just because the crunch then mallow squish just makes it feel like my brain is getting massaged 😅

I've started stimulant medication recently and one thing I've noticed is that I've almost completely stopped snacking! The reasons why I snack make sense now

I struggle knowing when I’m full, so will often snack until I’m sick. And I snack more when I know there’s snacks. Not sure if that’s ADHD/autism related, still awaiting my diagnosis, but I’m type 2 diabetic now so I really need to cut down the snacks and it’s so hard 😭

Frozen fruits like blueberries or grapes work for me. Fruit with tajin also works for me. Celery or carrots. Ants on a log, something about the nostalgia of it makes my brain happy.

Crunchy or chewy things for me. When I was at school, I cut up a WHOLE bag of carrots into carrot sticks with hummus (2 tubs) then did my homework while gnawing on it. It helped, but i was stupidly full after 😂

Yikes! This makes a lot of sense! It’s hard for me to be on the computer without nibbling on something, (and I find computer work very stressful), but I have no interest in snacks when I go to the movies like most other people. Luckily one of my favorite snacks is carrot sticks, (pretty healthy), and yes, I think it’s the snapping and crunching that keeps me happy.

I just realised that my chewing gum habbit is probably ADHD stimming. When I’m in Iceland I always have a pack of gum in the car (usually something with a strong flavour) and I chew while I drive!

i see a lot of chewing gum advocates, but what if that doesn't work for me because i want the crunchiness of chips? what else could i use that has the same crunch but not the unhealthy stuff?

My days are stressful (3kids). I only relax in the evening with gaming and chugging sweets, chips and salty licorice down my throat 😭 I recently discovered that I like to watch others stuff themselves, but no-no to asmr, that disgusts me 😂

spicy jerky! I went keto back in 2023 to try and help my ADHD symptoms, turns out I had a Brain tumor, but that's beside the point. keto snacks are the best snacks! high protein high fat, some good tough chewing if you get the right jerky, and all the spice you can handle!
