Basically it consists of first systematically cutting out certain foods from the diet that commonly cause food allegies -- dairy, nuts, wheat gluten (flour), and a few others that I can't remember. Sometimes a food allergy is the real culprit behind ADHD-like symptoms.

If this isn't the case, a general diet of foods that have a low glycemic index has been suggested to help symptoms. The low glycemic index tells you that the food takes longer to process, and therefore doesn't produce a spike in blood sugar that can produce hyperactivity, inability to concentrate, and irritability in everyone. Examples include whole-wheat flour/pasta/bread, fruits and veggies, and sources of protein. This also helps with weight loss (known as the south beach diet, the Adkins, or the Zone diet, or any less stringent combo of the general method -- by the way, congrats on your weight loss success, Bonaire, I know how tough it is to lose weight).

I've had luck using the general methodolgy of the diet since my last post; if any has experienced the same with any changes in diet, I'd be interested to know. [and thanks to all that responded, your advice has been helpful.]
