When he was growing up in the suburban L. I remember one of my friends was always like, 'I can clean my room and really concentrate Charles Sophy is not at all surprised by the prevalence of Adderall use for weight loss.
In addition to being the medical director for the L. County Department of Children and Family Services, Sophy is a psychiatrist with many celebrity clients. Some, he says, are using it for weight loss, while claiming they need it for their ADD. A drug like Strattera [which is also used to treat ADD] won't give them the high and won't give them the appetite suppression. So they'll have all these reasons why they need Adderall and only Adderall.
She will take Adderall because it makes her feel "intensely creative," she says. She is already svelte , but if she gained a few pounds, "I'd definitely use Adderall right before a bikini vacation.

Parents also can offer sandwiches for breakfast, using whole wheat instead of white bread to pack in more nutrients.

Then move on to the vegetables if your child is still hungry. So make sure those six bites contain the most calories and nutrients. The priority here is to give them the most calories from any nutrient dense food. Serve small portions.
Children with scant appetites get discouraged by the sight of a full plate, which makes them less likely to try and eat. If your child is still hungry, he or she will ask for more. Other ways to make portions look less daunting: Cut sandwiches into diagonal halves or quarters.
And instead of serving one huge burger cut in half, divide it into two thinner patties. Let the kid indulge a bit, particularly if sweets are delivered with nutrients.
