What's your chosen diet as someone with ADHD/Autism (beehaw.org)

I've tried a lot of diets, and I have a lot of trouble committing and maintaining structure. I eat out every day. I don't exercise much. I'm having trouble with willpower fasting. Still I think the most "ADHD friendly" way of dieting is likely fasting. It requires little practical restructuring of ones life, just commitment and willpower. Do you all have anything better? Any advice?

I hope they can help, I know your problem well. It allowed me to go from a "oh God I have to cook an entire meal" mindset to a "oh I just have to microwave something and then dump it into a bowl when the meal arrives" mindset. When it's about the same amount of trouble as instant noodles but you can also fix your nutritional deficiency(s) at the same time, the task seems a lot more manageable.

It also eliminates discovering your ingredients have expired when you finally can make yourself really cook.
