Chocolate | ADHD Information

Chocolate makes me sooo grumpy and cranky and then I fall asleep! It's driving me mad cos its my favourite treat!

I gave it up for 3 months and felt great, then easter came around. I had 2 chocolate bunnies and slept for a day and a half!

Anyone else get this? It also happens when I eat something really rich/with heaps of sugar. Or can you suggest an alternative PLEASE? :)

Kristin, are you on meds right now for adhd? If so, could be you're over medicating with the caffeine in the chocolate and the sugar. Meds slow you down, especially if you're hyper, slows the non-stop thoughts, etc....so chocolate is like coffee is for me. coffee puts me to sleep at night. And of course sugar is very much a stimulant. I'll think about an alternative.

hmmm....Carob is a chocolate substitute. I don't mind it so much...can make good brownies with it. But you may want to use Splenda, instead of sugar.    GypsyWomyn38440.5096064815
