Outsmart Overeating

Most dieters start the year strong, but by February, the excitement has fizzled out—and so has the plan. Sound familiar?   In this episode, Coach Steph and I flip the script on waiting until January 1st to “start fresh” and challenge you to make the last 100 days of 2025 the turning point you’ve been waiting for.   Instead of another round of extreme diets, food rules, and “no sugar, no carbs” resolutions that always backfire, we’ll show you how to:   Shift from all-or-nothing, results-based goals to simple, doable process goals that actually last Break free from the guilt-shame cycle that fuels binge eating Build trust in yourself with one small decision at a time—no more starting over tomorrow Use the holidays as a training ground to feel in control around food instead of terrified of it   If you’ve ever wondered why you can lose weight temporarily but struggle to keep it off without losing your mind, this episode is going to connect the dots. By the end, you’ll see exactly how a single, sustainable habit can change not just the next 100 days—but the next 10 years.   🎧 Tune in now and let’s make 2025 the year you stop dieting and lose weight for the very last time.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   If you’re struggling with emotional, binge, or compulsive eating and want to master self-control at every bite while turning the volume down on food noise, watch the FREE "Curb the Urge" mini-training and download the accompanying workbook.   Or, if you want to be the first to know when we're opening the doors to our signature psychology-based weight loss program, Outsmart Overeating (and get exclusive access to early bird discounts and fast action bonuses), join the Interest List. 

Have you ever had a single sentence completely shift the way you think about food—and your body? On this episode of Outsmart Overeating, I share a powerful story from Reddit that perfectly captures why so many of us struggle with dieting, bingeing, and feeling out of control around food.   For years, this woman tried extreme diets—OMAD, intermittent fasting, under 1,000 calories a day—only to get stuck in the cycle of restriction, bingeing, guilt, and shame. It wasn’t until she stumbled upon one simple idea—“I relearned my hunger cues”—that everything changed. Suddenly, she realized hunger wasn’t the enemy, and food didn’t have to feel like a battleground.   In this episode, Coach Steph and I break down:   How to reconnect with your body’s natural hunger and fullness signals The critical difference between hunger, cravings, and emotionally-driven urges Why dieting and willpower aren’t the solution—and what actually is How to stop letting food control your emotions, your thoughts, and your life Step-by-step ways to experiment with hunger so you can finally feel in control   If you’ve spent decades dieting, restricting, and feeling guilty every time you “slip,” this episode will give you practical tools to stop the cycle and start trusting your body again. We also explain why our approach is different from intuitive eating and how it actually helps you lose weight without obsession, extreme restriction, or chaos.   Tune in and discover how one simple shift in thinking can transform your eating, your habits, and your relationship with food—for good.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   If you’re struggling with emotional, binge, or compulsive eating and want to master self-control at every bite while turning the volume down on food noise, watch the FREE "Curb the Urge" mini-training and download the accompanying workbook.   Or, if you want to be the first to know when we're opening the doors to our signature psychology-based weight loss program, Outsmart Overeating (and get exclusive access to early bird discounts and fast action bonuses), join the Interest List.

Without Food Noise, Restrictive Dieting, or Relying on Willpower ==> REGISTER NOW   In this episode, I sit down with a former client, Nesmah ElDesouky, whose story will feel all too familiar if you’ve ever lived through the exhausting cycle of dieting, restriction, and binge eating.   She shares how what started as a simple fitness routine in college spiraled into 800-calorie meal plans, food fear (yes—even of tomatoes and bananas), secret late-night binges, and hiding wrappers so no one would know. Like so many of us, she thought the solution was just to “try harder” with dieting—but the harder she tried, the worse things became.   Together, we talk about:   Why restriction and “fear foods” only fuel binge eating (and what to do instead) The surprising role emotional connection plays in healing your relationship with food How she went from secretly bingeing in her room to running her own cookie business—without obsessing, overeating, or fearing weight gain The exact first steps that helped her stop binge eating and finally feel in control around food   If you’ve ever worried that “eating what you want” will only lead to more weight gain—or if you’ve tried every diet under the sun and still feel broken around food—this conversation will show you what’s actually possible.   👉 Listen now and discover how freedom with food can finally become your reality.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   If you’re struggling with emotional, binge, or compulsive eating and want to master self-control at every bite while turning the volume down on food noise, watch the FREE "Curb the Urge" mini-training and download the accompanying workbook.   Or, if you want to be the first to know when we're opening the doors to our signature psychology-based weight loss program, Outsmart Overeating (and get exclusive access to early bird discounts and fast action bonuses), join the Interest List.

Maybe you’ve tried therapy. Maybe you’ve healed pieces of your past. But when it comes to food, you’re still stuck in the same binge–restrict cycle. You know better, but you don’t do better—and that’s the missing piece most therapy never addresses.   In this episode of Outsmart Overeating, my former client (and now therapist) Nicolette shares why therapy helped her understand why she used food… but still left her obsessing over calories, macros, and “good” vs. “bad” foods. What finally set her free wasn’t more analyzing—it was learning how to replace dieting rules with a new, sustainable framework for eating.   You’ll discover:   Why therapy alone didn’t break Nicolette’s food obsession How macro tracking kept her stuck in “eating disorder light” The missing bridge between understanding your past and actually changing your patterns The mindset shift that finally gave her peace with food and her body   If therapy has helped you heal but food still feels like the unsolvable problem—this episode will show you the missing piece keeping you stuck. And if you'd like to follow Nicolette's journey while getting some useful tips on managing trauma, you can find her on Instagram at @nicolettetalkstherapy.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   If you’re struggling with emotional, binge, or compulsive eating and want to master self-control at every bite while turning the volume down on food noise, watch the FREE "Curb the Urge" mini-training and download the accompanying workbook.   Or, if you want to be the first to know when we're opening the doors to our signature psychology-based weight loss program, Outsmart Overeating (and get exclusive access to early bird discounts and fast action bonuses), join the Interest List.

Maddy grew up in the perfect storm for developing an unhealthy relationship with food—a fitness instructor mom who equated health with eating only whole foods, a competitive dance culture obsessed with body size, and two households with completely opposite food rules.   By 16, dieting felt like the obvious solution when her body changed.   A six-week CrossFit challenge gave her abs and praise—but also set off years of binge-restrict cycles, chronic scale-stepping, body dysmorphia, and obsessive food thoughts.   She couldn’t stop checking her body in the mirror or thinking about what she’d eaten, what she “should” eat next, or how to undo the damage after a binge.   In this episode, Maddy shares how she finally broke free from food obsession, stopped the constant body checking, and learned to feel in control around all foods—without relying on rigid meal plans or restriction.   By adopting the mindset and eating habits of a “naturally thin” person, she not only lost weight but has maintained her results for over 3 years.   If you’ve ever thought, I just want to be normal around food, Maddy’s story will show you it’s possible.   Connect with Leslie:   • Website • Instagram • Facebook     If you’re struggling with emotional, binge, or compulsive eating and want to master self-control at every bite while turning the volume down on food noise, watch the FREE "Curb the Urge" mini-training and download the accompanying workbook.   Or, if you want to be the first to know when we're opening the doors to our signature psychology-based weight loss program, Outsmart Overeating (and get exclusive access to early bird discounts and fast action bonuses), join the Interest List.

After losing 100 pounds, a Reddit user admitted something heartbreaking:   “I thought eventually I’d feel normal around food… but it’s dawning on me that this is forever.

As a professional dieter, you've probably read a lot about compulsive overeating and the uncontrollable urges that drive food obsession.

In this episode of the Outsmart Overeating podcast, we explore negativity bias, the brain’s tendency to focus on the negative over the positive, and how it affects your eating habits and weight loss journey.   Negativity bias leads us to focus on what could go wrong, often using disempowering phrases like “I can’t” instead of “I don’t,” which can sabotage our goals.   For example, negative thoughts like “I can’t stick to a diet” or “I’ll never lose weight” can undermine motivation and reinforce a belief that change isn't possible, so why even try?   To overcome this, we discuss three practical steps in this episode:    Identify Negative Thoughts: Pay attention to automatic negative reactions, like doubting your ability to make healthier food choices. Simply observe these thoughts without judgment, perhaps writing them down to increase awareness. Separate Thoughts from Feelings: Recognize that thoughts (e.g., “I shouldn’t eat this”) are distinct from emotions (e.g., guilt or fear). This separation helps you see thoughts as neutral ideas, not facts, preventing emotional eating driven by negativity. Decide How to Handle Thoughts: Evaluate whether a negative thought is valid. Ask, “Is this true?” or “What if this goes well?” For instance, instead of thinking, “I’ll fail at this diet,” consider, “What if I succeed by making small, sustainable changes?” This reframing empowers better eating decisions.   By practicing these steps, you can rewire your brain to focus on positive possibilities, helping you make mindful food choices and progress toward your weight loss goals.   Start small, stay consistent, and take control of your mindset to outsmart overeating.   Connect with Leslie:   • Website • Instagram • Facebook     If you’re struggling with emotional, binge, or compulsive eating and you’re interested in personalized coaching, apply here.   Or, if you want to be the first to know when we'll be opening the doors to Outsmart Overeating and get access to early bird discounts and fast action bonuses, you can join the Interest List.   If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type
