A good dietician will limit your fat intake, because that is where most of the calories come from and where cholesterol is. Sugar is also problematic but only in refined form, and in fat people. The theory being that it's fat that limits the response to sugars, I'm oversimplifying but this theory is at the heart of the sugar/fat debate. Dieticians aren't debating this, mostly health gurus and doctors online are. The research into health versus diet is very clear and very much understood. Less processed food, more whole foods, less animal products, more plants. (fruit, grains, legumes, vegetables, nuts and seeds.)

And yes I do agree that the availability of healthy food is very limited and that understanding how or even what a healthy diet is, especially from consuming social media, is hard. The food industry is a multi billion profit industry, there are a lot of conflicting interests. But heart associations, diabetes association, association of dieticians, world health organisations, and many more are screaming from the rooftops. So it's also not impossible to figure it out. But if you're left to the almighty wisdom of 'the market' you're fucked. Yes, it's hard to stay healthy and skinny.

That's why we call it a condition though, not a disease. People have a right to make mistakes, right? We can call the consequences of mistakes, conditions. Lung cancer from smoking, a broken arm from mountainbiking, tennis arm from leisure activities. Life choices can lead to conditions, regardless of their perceived healtiness.

I didn't expect this thorough of an answer, thanks.

It's maybe time I give it another look.

It's the only way I can listen to music in my car. I could upgrade, but I don't need to because I have the jack.

Adhd is not 'loss of control over attention'. It's an executive function disorder.

Meditation isn't 'getting control over attention' it's paying attention to your inner self in order to create a distance between you and your thoughts. It's more about the realisation that you aren't your thoughts, feelings, emotions, but that the real you is having them.

You don't need to be meditating to control your attention.

I literally write down all names in notes. I'm so incredibly bad with name recall that I forget names of people I worked with and known for years. That app is a life saver and I open it a lot.

I also use the trick to imagine their name as something completely over the top absurd. Which works because the image is so much easier to recall. For example Karen would be then behind the wheel of a Ford Ka running on its back tires. A Ka Run... But this is very difficult to do in the moment.

Otherwise yeah I can lose names at any moment of anything at any point in time. People, towns, events, brands, objects, concepts... Just gone. My mind went passed it with a 1000 miles a minute and forgot to grab it.
