I would definitely say the two are unrelated. There may be a tendancy for some people with ADD to deal with the problems associated with ADD with poor eating habits such as overeating or eating junk food. This tendancy also occurs sometimes with many other mental and emotional problems.

It would also make sense that people would be thin because of ADD because of forgetting to eat because of “hyperfocussing”, forgetting to buy groceries, or some other reason, working too hard at too many projects, etc.
