The things that get in the way for me are: getting instantly bored with any weight loss strategy, an inability to do things if I’m told I have to, forgetting that I need to lose weight, needing the sensory input of food, inability to recognise when I’m full, hyper-focusing on weight loss for a month and losing a ton of weight and then putting it all back on the next month because I celebrated the weight loss with cake…
I just wonder if there are any ADHD behaviour hacks where I could use my neurospicyness to actually help me lose weight consistently.

Fruit all the way. Two big ass kiwis are like 100 calories. I’m in love with them and blueberries (and every berry). Super good for you nutritionally as well.
Every gram of fiber in a food allows you to essentially “erase” a gram of sugar so fruits with fiber (not bananas or many melons) are essentially free foods calorically speaking and they do have plenty of nutrients on top of it
My wife tried to tell me the same thing but with fiber and carbohydrates in general. She still believes it, it sounds like nonsense to me. Do you have a source?
I can’t back up the GP’s “1 gram 1 gram” claim, but the effects of dietary fibre on regulating blood sugar and other benefits for health are well studied.
fibre reduces the absorption of nutrition in the gut, but it doesn’t erase bad nutrition.
This is very easy to test at home, get a glucose meter and eat your favorite fibre and sugar together and see what your blood sugar will do… it will still spike.
