[quote=Anonymous]My ADHD child self regulates sweets and high carb food much better than my other two without ADHD, and my DH with ADHD regulates better than I do (no ADHD). Neither is on medication, both very slender, like sweets (especially chocolate) but when they feel full, stop eating even when there is only one bite of chocolate cake left on their plates. And there are multiple studies showing that hyperactivity after sugar in children is just due to bias in perception. Parents told that their child had eaten sweets rated their children as being hyperactive even when their children had not actually been given sweets. If you have studies which have been published in reputable journals showing differently, do share the links. My ADHD child is 8% on weight and 60% for height, so I’m not limiting diet at all right now, as pediatrician told us to make sure they get enough calories.[/quote]
