The Friction vs. The Constraint Solver

THE TRADITIONAL FRICTION

The Multi-Step Executive Function Trap

Traditional cooking requires 12 micro-decisions: finding recipes, checking ingredients, timing cooking pans, and logging macros. For ADHD minds, this triggers overwhelming task paralysis.

The Produce Forgetting Cycle

Out of sight is out of mind. Vegetables placed in crisper drawers cease to exist until they rot, triggering cycles of shame and food waste.

Engineering the Kitchen for Low Executive Function

For individuals with ADHD, hunger is often ignored until it becomes an urgent crisis. When blood sugar drops, the cognitive capacity to plan a complex low-carb dinner vanishes, leading to fast-food binges.

Repast acts as an external executive function engine. It removes the need to invent meals every day. You check the app, look at the single protein scheduled for today, and follow three direct steps.

By limiting active cookware to a single sheet pan or cast-iron skillet, cleanup friction is minimized, preventing dirty pans from piling up in the sink for days.

“Remove the micro-decisions. One tap plans your week; four steps make your dinner.”
