i was diagnosed with ADD back when i was like 10 or younger...sometimes when i am watching tv or dvd i dont hear ppl talking to me...but i seem to be able to some what control that...anyway...the answer to your ? i am and know a few ppl that were diagnosed with ADD but are all small in size...all thru out hs and college i was 135 now i am 150...so i havent ever noticed a correlation with the 2...
IMO, drs seem to be quick to diagnose kids with ADD, they just try to med them up and IMO i think i would have had a different life if i wasnt put on Ritalin at such a young age...tho i dont have anything to back that up...sorry if this was long...hopefully you get my point
When i am at home i dont have to eat alot of food but when i work i have to eat thru out the day even if i do eat 3 meals...i usually only drink ice tea and juice...but i have to say that the carbonation does seem to fill me up alot better tho its not as good for me...i usually spend 2 or 3 bucks a day for drinks, be it water, juice, ice tea(turkey hill), or soda...that usually keeps me from munching.
