You know that thing where you eat the "bad" food in secret, then act totally normal five minutes later like it didn't happen?   Coach Steph and I get into why smart, capable women do this.   Turns out there are two totally different personalities behind it: the "disciplined one" and the "I'll start Monday" type.   One is protecting an image of perfection they've spent years building and protecting.   The other already believes other people view them as "lazy" or "out of control," because they live in a larger body. They're terrified someone will catch them eat "bad" foods and it will prove the narrative true.   Both end up overeating behind closed doors.   In this episode, we discuss:.   Why restrictors binge big behind closed doors while permitters never stop with the small stuff What both personalities are actually protecting when they hide food, and it's not about willpower The childhood pattern behind both, and why neither is your fault Why eating the "off-limits" food in public, on purpose, is what breaks the secrecy for good   By the end, you'll know exactly which one you are and what to do differently tonight.   Not sure which one you are?

You lost the weight. So why do you feel fatter than ever?   That's the real question behind a Reddit post Coach Steph and I dig into this week: a woman down 55 pounds who looks in the mirror and still sees the body she started with. If you've ever hit a goal weight and felt... nothing, or worse, this episode is for you.   We get into why your brain lags behind your body, why extreme diets set you up to feel out of control the second real food is back on the table, and why "just lose the weight" was never going to fix how you feel about yourself.   In it, you'll hear:   Why weight loss can make your body image worse, not better The exact mental script Steph used to quiet a decade of "I hate my thighs" How to tell if your current diet is setting you up to fail (hint: check the calorie count) A simple neutrality practice you can try in front of your mirror today Why the women who skip the body image work are the ones who end up back in our inbox a year later   You don't need another meal plan. You need a brain that finally allows you to feel comfortable in your own skin.   What would change if you believed your body wasn't a problem to solve?   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type

Ever notice how right before you're about to make a change in your life, your brain immediately comes up with a thousand reasons why you shouldn't?   That's fear. Your brain's only job is to keep you safe and familiar, not happy or fulfilled. That's why you keep going back to the same diets and rules that have already failed you, over and over.   Same fear that keeps people stuck in jobs or relationships they've outgrown. It shows up at your dinner table too.   Coach Steph and I get into why your brain hands you a pile of excuses the second you try something different, even after what you're doing now hasn't worked.   I also share the scariest thing I've ever done (quit my career, sold everything, moved to NYC with two suitcases) and what it taught me about acting scared instead of waiting for the fear to pass.   What you'll get:   Why your brain fights change, even good change How to tell real intuition from fear in disguise Why more of what hasn't worked won't get you anywhere new What it feels like when food stops taking up so much space in your head   Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Here's why you keep "falling off" your diet by Thursday, even though Monday-you had the best intentions.   Dieters often want to blame their lack of willpower, discipline or for being weak, but it has nothing to do with that. It's a psychological problem.   In this episode, Coach Steph and I break down the four ways your brain rebels against restriction, and why the stricter your rules, the harder you crash. If you've ever cleared out the pantry after a "bad" weekend, you need to hear this.   We're covering:   The Monday-Thursday split: why the version of you who made the rules isn't the version who has to follow them The pink elephant problem: why banning a food guarantees you'll obsess over it The rebellious teenager response: why your brain fights back the second something feels off-limits The exhale effect: why "blowing it" isn't a lack of control, it's relief from mental exhaustion   And we don't just leave you with the why. You'll walk away with two shifts you can start using today: how to trade rigid rules for real reasons, and how to give yourself permission without becoming permissive.   If you're smart, disciplined, and still can't crack this one thing, this episode is for you.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type

A woman on Reddit is down 50 pounds, going through a brutal breakup, and spiraling into emotional binge eating. She wants to know if GLP-1s will fix it.   Coach Steph and I give her an honest, judgment-free answer and it's probably not what she's expecting.   Here's what we get into:   Why emotional eating and binge eating aren't two separate problems (and what's actually driving the behavior) What GLP-1s actually do and why they're the wrong tool for this specific situation Why "time heals all wounds" is a lie your nervous system doesn't believe The real reason food becomes your go-to during heartbreak, grief, and life upheaval What emotional regulation actually looks like and the skill set that changes everything   This episode isn't about shaming anyone for reaching for a quick fix. It's about understanding why the quick fix won't work and what will.   If you've ever found yourself eating when you're not even hungry, this one's for you.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type

You can't solve a problem you haven't correctly identified.   That's exactly why so many smart, successful women stay stuck in the cycle of overeating, guilt, and starting over on Monday. They're trying to fix the behavior without understanding what's actually driving it.   In this episode, Coach Steph and I break down the three most common overeating patterns we see in women: emotional eating, binge eating, and habitual overeating. Because while they can look similar on the surface, they're very different problems—and each requires a different solution.   We'll help you identify what's really happening when you overeat so you can stop blaming your willpower and start making changes that actually last.   In this episode, you'll learn: The key differences between emotional eating, binge eating, and habitual overeating Why so many women mistakenly label every overeat as a binge The hidden role dieting and restriction play in binge eating How everyday habits can lead to weight gain without you realizing it Questions to ask yourself when you're eating outside of hunger Practical first steps you can start using today to interrupt overeating patterns   If you've spent years calorie counting, starting over on Monday, and wondering why food feels harder for you than everyone else, this episode will help you understand what's actually happening and what to do about it.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type

If you've spent years trying to avoid hunger, this episode might completely change the way you think about weight loss.   Today, Coach Steph and I are breaking down one of the most powerful fat-loss habits we teach our clients: hunger-directed eating.   Not starvation. Not intermittent fasting. Not white-knuckling your way through cravings.   We're talking about reconnecting with your body's natural signals so you can lose weight without counting calories, tracking macros, or following endless food rules.   If you're constantly wondering why you feel out of control around food, why weight loss feels so hard, or why you keep ending up back on another diet, this conversation will help you understand what's really going on.   In this episode, you'll learn:   • Why hunger isn't an emergency (and why dieting taught you to fear it) • The difference between physical hunger and "mind hunger" • The biggest reasons you may not be feeling hunger at all • How snacking, caffeine, and nighttime eating can disrupt hunger cues • A simple step-by-step process to start rebuilding trust with your body • The 15-minute hunger experiment you can start today   Plus, I leave you with a challenge that can immediately change your relationship with food and make weight loss feel a whole lot simpler.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type

You think the answer is keeping "trigger foods" out of the house. But what if that strategy is actually making overeating worse?   In this episode, Coach Steph and I unpack a Reddit post about keeping junk food in the house to prevent binge eating and the comment section tells the real story. If you've ever felt like you can't trust yourself around cereal, chips, ice cream, or sweets, this conversation will help you understand why.   We break down how years of dieting, food rules, and restriction create food obsession, intense cravings, and the feeling of being out of control around certain foods. More importantly, we share how to start changing that relationship so food stops taking up so much mental space.   In this episode, you'll learn:   Why keeping certain foods out of the house often backfires How dieting creates food noise and obsessive thoughts The hidden link between scarcity, restriction, and binge eating Why "good" and "bad" food labels fuel overeating What an abundance mindset actually looks like in real life The simple practice we use with clients to reduce binge urges How to start building trust around food without relying on willpower   If you're tired of feeling powerless around food and ready for a practical, sustainable way forward, this episode and our FREE Curb the Urge Toolkit will help you get started today.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type  

You're doing everything "right"... so why does it still feel so hard?   A woman posted on Reddit about losing 15 pounds in five months using a sustainable approach. She's not restricting like crazy, she's playing the long game... and she's still miserable.    In this episode, Coach Steph and I dig into why doing it the healthy way can feel so frustrating and what to actually do about it.   Here's what we cover:   Why slow progress isn't a problem. It's actually the fastest route to results that last The identity shift nobody talks about. You're not just losing weight, you're becoming a different person How to measure a healthy relationship with food (hint: it's not the scale) Why your brain is fighting you and how to work with it instead of against it The mindset reframe that makes the hard days easier to push through   If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still can't figure out why it feels like a grind, this episode is going to hit close to home.   Give it a listen. You'll walk away with a completely different perspective and a few things you can start doing today.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type  

You've tried every diet. You know exactly what to eat. And you're still wearing a cardigan in 95-degree heat because you don't want anyone to see your arms.   Coach Steph and I are calling it out—the hiding, the sideline-sitting, the vacations you didn't book, the sandcastles you didn't build—and we're giving you a real way out.   What we cover: Why your brain is literally wired to keep torturing you about your body (and the one thing that actually interrupts it) The "neutral language" trick that dials down self-criticism without making you feel like a liar Why losing the weight won't fix the voice in your head and what will How to show up at the wedding, reunion, or beach trip without waiting to be a smaller size first The photo rule that makes it easier to stop hiding from the camera   You don't have to love your body to enjoy your life. That's actually the whole point of this episode.   Your kids want you in the sandcastle. Your friends want you on the trip. Go listen.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type  

Coach Steph and I start with a Reddit post from a 54-year-old woman re-entering the dating world. She went out with three different men… all on GLP-1s.   They ordered food, took a few bites, boxed the rest, and left her feeling disconnected, starving, and wondering if this is the new normal.   We unpack the bigger cultural shift happening right now and exactly how it's affecting women like you whose love language is sharing meals.   Here's exactly what you'll walk away with and use immediately:   Why mismatched appetites can feel so uncomfortable (and what it's actually triggering) The difference between physical hunger vs. mental hunger (this changes everything) How GLP-1s are quietly reshaping social norms and what that means for you The hidden fears and insecurities showing up around food (on both sides) Simple, actionable ways to feel confident in social eating situations... starting today   This isn't about eating less or "being good." It's about understanding your brain, your habits, and how to stay grounded no matter what's on your plate... or someone else's.   If food has ever felt like the thing that makes or breaks your connection with others, don't skip this one.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.   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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type

If you've tried everything — calorie counting, macros, keto, starting over every Monday — and still feel out of control around food… this episode is your turning point.   Coach Steph Miramontes and I are pulling back the curtain on my 6-week signature program, Outsmart Overeating, and showing you exactly how we help women stop binge and emotional eating for good.   This isn't about more rules.

If you're "good" with food all day… and then somehow end up standing in the kitchen at 9pm thinking, "Why am I eating this? I'm not even hungry…" this episode is for you.   In this conversation, Coach Steph and I unpack the real reason nighttime eating feels so out of control (hint: it's usually notabout willpower). In fact, the late-night pantry raids many women struggle with are often the predictable result of what's happening earlier in the day.   Translation: the problem isn't that you lack discipline. It's that the strategies you've been taught are quietly setting you up to fail.   If you're tired of ending your nights feeling guilty, frustrated, and promising yourself you'll "be better tomorrow," this episode will show you a smarter way forward.   Inside the episode, we cover:   Why undereating earlier in the day is one of the biggest drivers of nighttime overeating The hidden role of mental exhaustion and emotional depletion in late-night snacking Why banning "trigger foods" often makes cravings 10x worse How to reintroduce foods you love without losing control around them Simple ways to separate food from relaxation at the end of the day A powerful "closing the kitchen" ritual that dramatically reduces nighttime grazing   Most importantly, you'll walk away with practical strategies you can start implementing tonight to finally break the cycle.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.     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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type

If you've ever finished dinner, felt physically full… and then found yourself standing in the pantry 20 minutes later looking for "a little something," this episode is for you.   This isn't happening because you're "addicted to sugar." It's a predictable response to dieting.   In this episode of the Outsmart Overeating Podcast, Coach Steph and I break down exactly why you still want to eat after you're full and what to do about it. We're talking about the real reason your brain won't move on after meals (even when you've hit your macros).   You'll learn:   The difference between fullness, satiety, and satisfaction (and why most dieters only hit one) How restriction amplifies cravings and creates "last supper" energy Why food noise is usually a scarcity problem, not a discipline problem The simple shift that quiets urges and reduces nighttime grazing How to build satisfaction into your meals so they actually end   Most importantly, you'll walk away with practical tools you can start using today to stop the pantry prowling and finally feel calm around food.   If you're successful in every area of your life except this one… this conversation will change the game.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.     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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type

If you've ever thought, "Something must be wrong with my metabolism now," this episode is for you.   In today's conversation, Coach Steph and I break down one of the most frustrating beliefs women carry into their 40s, 50s, and beyond: that aging automatically ruins your metabolism and makes weight loss impossible.   Spoiler Alert: that story is incomplete... and it's keeping you stuck in diet burnout, overeating, and guilt.   We talk about what actually changes as life gets fuller (stress, sleep, habits, emotional eating), why extreme diets backfire harder now than they did in your 20s, and how years of restriction quietly fuel bingeing and food obsession.   Most importantly, we walk you through a calmer, common-sense way forward that doesn't require tracking, weighing, or "starting over" every Monday.   In this episode, you'll learn: Why your metabolism isn't broken—and what really affects it How dieting history creates overeating and food fear The small, realistic habits that support appetite, muscle, and sanity How to stop relying on food as your main stress relief What you can start doing today to eat with more ease and consistency   If you're done fighting food and ready for solutions that fit your real life, join us for this conversation.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.     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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type

In today's conversation, Coach Steph and I break a massive myth in the diet world: you don't have to hate your body to change it. In fact, that self-loathing is often the exact reason you keep overeating, bingeing, and starting over.   We talk honestly about how years of dieting train women to see their body as a problem to control… and why that backfires every single time. Then we show you a different way -- one that actually leads to weight loss and peace with food.   Inside this episode, you'll learn:   Why weight loss doesn't automatically fix body image (and often makes it worse) How dieting fuels bingeing, food obsession, and body shame The difference between body positivity and body neutrality (and why neutrality works) How to stop putting your life on hold "until you lose the weight" Practical, doable steps to work on body image while still losing weight   This isn't mindset fluff. You'll walk away with tools you can start using today to calm food noise, stop the shame spiral, and build a healthier relationship with your body... without giving up your goals.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.     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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type

In this episode of the Outsmart Overeating Podcast, Coach Steph and I go somewhere most diets never do: your childhood.   Not to blame your parents. Not to dig up drama.   But to finally understand why food and how you feel about your body is so complicated, emotional, and challenging... no matter how many diets you've tried.   If you've spent decades calorie counting, "being good," falling off track, bingeing, and wondering what's wrong with me? This conversation will be a huge lightbulb moment.   We break down how early food rules, body comments, and family dynamics quietly shape your eating patterns today… and most importantly, what to do about it now.   You'll learn: Why overeating isn't a willpower problem... it's a learned pattern How restrictive or chaotic upbringings can fuel bingeing and food obsession The hidden link between body image, self-worth, and food guilt How to build structure without punishment Simple awareness shifts you can start using today to reduce food noise   This episode will help you drop the shame, understand your patterns, and start making choices from your values, not fear.   If you're ready to stop fighting food and actually feel normal around it again, press play.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.     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.      If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type

If the holidays already have you stressing about seeing people you haven't seen in a while—especially if your body has changed—you're definitely not the only one.   Coach Steph and I get into all of that in this episode: why these moments bring up old insecurities, and how you can show up confidently in the body you have today.   No waiting on the weight. No hiding in photos. No shrinking yourself to make everyone else comfortable.   In this episode you'll learn:   Why holiday gatherings trigger old body insecurities How your brain interprets weight changes (and why it feels so intense) What to say or do when someone comments on your body or your plate Simple mindset shifts to stop spiraling How to enjoy the holidays without obsessing over food or "making up for it"   If you're tired of sitting on the sidelines or feeling like you need to "fix" yourself before you can enjoy your life, this episode will feel like a deep exhale—and give you tools you can use immediately.   Press play and let's make this holiday season about memories, not macros.

If Thanksgiving has you feeling excited and secretly anxious about losing control around food, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.   This week, Coach Steph and I break down four real Reddit posts from people navigating the same holiday struggles you are: multiple Thanksgiving meals, pressure to "live a little," panic over leftovers, and the urge to skip meals to "save up" for dinner.   Instead of tired dieting tips, we're giving you psychology-based, binge-free strategies to help you:   Handle double (or triple) Thanksgiving meals without spiraling Stop the "skip breakfast so you don't overdo it later" cycle Keep leftovers from triggering binges Set boundaries with food-pushy family members   If years of dieting have made holidays feel like all-or-nothing eating events, this conversation will show you the calmer, saner middle ground.   Press play and let's make this holiday season the most intentional, enjoyable one you've ever had... and you can start by purchasing Season's Eatings: Your Holiday Plate Playbook mini-course today!   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. 

If the holidays always leave you feeling like you've completely blown your progress — between the cocktails, the parties, the endless trays of "only come around once a year" foods — this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.   In today's conversation, Coach Steph and I tackle one of the most frustrating holiday triggers for overeaters: alcohol.   Not from the old diet-culture angle of "just limit yourself to two drinks" or "choose the lowest-calorie option"… because if that actually worked, you wouldn't be here.   Instead, we're breaking down the real psychology behind why drinking often leads to overeating, especially for chronic dieters, and how to interrupt that pattern without relying on willpower, restriction, or swearing off alcohol altogether.   Inside the episode, we walk you through:   How to find your "peak pleasure point"... the sweet spot where drinking feels fun and relaxing… before it turns into regret, overeating, or waking up wondering what happened. Why your brain is more vulnerable to overeating when you've been dieting for years (it's not a lack of discipline, it's biology + psychology). How to stop mirroring other people's drinking habits and instead stay aligned with your goals, values, and next-morning priorities. How to make intentional choices before the night begins so you never feel out of control around food later. Why alcohol doesn't magically "make" you overeat... and the mindset shift that finally breaks this cycle for good. The exact questions we have clients ask themselves so they can enjoy the holidays and wake up feeling proud of their decisions.   If you want to enjoy the season without the food guilt, without the holiday hangover, and without that yearly "I'll start over in January" spiral, this episode will show you how to finally break that pattern.   Press play and let's make this holiday season the most intentional, enjoyable one you've ever had... and you can start by purchasing Season's Eatings: Your Holiday Plate Playbook mini-course today!   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. 

  If you've ever thought, "Where the hell did my motivation go?" around the holidays, this episode is for you.   Because it's not gone… it's just buried under a pile of stress, sugar, and social pressure.   In this week's episode, Coach Steph and I are showing you exactly how to get your mojo back without cutting carbs, skipping dessert, or pretending you don't care about your goals.   You'll learn:   Why motivation isn't something you lose (and the sneaky reason it fades this time of year) How to spot all-or-nothing thinking before it sends you into a "screw it" spiral The #1 mindset shift that keeps you consistent even when life feels chaotic What to focus on when your routine falls apart (hint: it's not willpower) How to use the holidays as practice, not punishment — so staying on track feels easy year-round   No more starting over in January.

If you've already caught yourself thinking, "I need to get back on track after Halloween…" — this episode is your cue to pause before the holiday overeating spiral begins.   Every year, it starts the same way: a few fun-sized candies turn into "I'll start fresh in January." But what if this year could actually be different?   In this episode, Coach Steph and I unpack the early warning signs that the holiday overeating cycle is beginning — and share how to stop it before it snowballs. You'll learn how to:   Shift out of the all-or-nothing "holiday free-for-all" mindset. Create a simple plan that lets you enjoy your favorite foods without guilt or restriction. Reframe your thoughts so you feel peaceful and in control around food.

If you've ever wondered, “Why am I suddenly binge eating when I've been doing everything right?” — this episode is for you.   This week, Coach Steph and I break down a Reddit post from a woman who sounds like so many of our clients — and our former selves: she's tracking her calories, eating “clean,” exercising five days a week… yet somehow finds herself bingeing and feeling completely out of control around food.   Here's the truth: binge eating never starts “out of nowhere.” It's not a willpower problem — it's a restriction problem.   In this episode, we dig into:   The hidden ways mental, emotional, and physical restriction fuel binge eating Why counting calories and labeling foods as “good” or “bad” keeps you stuck in the binge–restrict cycle How dieting actually creates the very loss of control you're trying to avoid What your binges are trying to tell you — and how to respond without guilt, shame, or more food rules   If you're tired of feeling like you can't trust yourself around food — and you've tried everything from journaling to “just eating carrots instead” — this episode will help you understand what's really driving your binges and how to finally break free from them.  

Ever notice how you can power through a stressful week without turning to food — but the second you finally relax, you find yourself in the pantry “treating yourself”?   In this episode, Coach Steph and I unpack a Redditor's post that perfectly captures one of the sneakiest forms of emotional eating — the kind that hides behind happy moments, nostalgia, and self-care rituals.   We'll explore:

On this episode of the Outsmart Overeating Podcast, we're diving into one of the biggest challenges for anyone who's battled dieting: instant gratification.   That little voice telling you to “just eat the cookie now and worry about the diet later”?   Yeah—it's not about weakness, laziness, or lack of willpower. It's your brain, wired for quick hits of pleasure—made even harder to resist when you've spent years restricting and denying yourself the foods you crave.   Join us as Coach Steph and I break down why dieters are especially vulnerable to this cycle of craving, guilt, and bingeing—and why naturally thin people experience food so differently.   We'll reveal how scarcity thinking, diet history, and emotional triggers amplify urges, and why doubling down on willpower or stricter rules only makes it worse.   But here's the good news: there is a way out.   In this episode, you'll learn actionable strategies to shift from chasing instant gratification to building self-trust, think like a naturally thin person, and stop letting urges control your life. You'll hear practical tips you can try this week to delay gratification, calm your brain, and meet the real needs behind your cravings—without having to sit on your hands.   If you're done with the cycle of bingeing, restriction, and “I blew it, might as well keep going,” this episode is for you.   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.   

If you've ever sworn off carbs, skipped meals after 8 p.m., or lived by a long list of “shoulds” about food—only to end up overeating the very things you tried to avoid—you're not alone.   In this episode of Outsmart Overeating, Coach Steph and I dig into the hidden trap of food rules: why they feel safe at first, but ultimately create more guilt, shame, and out-of-control eating.   We'll show you how dieting trains you to cling to rigid rules instead of learning to trust yourself—keeping you stuck in a cycle of restriction and bingeing.   You'll hear:   Why rules give the illusion of control (and why your brain loves them) How food rules actually increase food obsession and overeating A powerful metaphor that will change how you think about eating forever The difference between control and trust—and how to start building self-trust today Practical ways to eat with confidence without counting calories, weighing food, or white-knuckling your way through cravings   If you're tired of feeling like the only way to “stay on track” is through extreme rules and constant willpower, this conversation will help you see a new way forward—one where food feels simple, peaceful, and enjoyable again.  

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.  

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.

Feel like you've tried every diet, detox, and wellness hack out there—and still can't figure out why eating and weight loss feels so damn hard?   In this episode, Coach Steph and I unpack the soul-crushing frustration of doing everything right… and still ending up back at square one (or worse). You'll hear exactly why this exhausting cycle of "start strong, fall off, repeat" isn't your fault—and more importantly, how to break it for the last time.   Together, we peel back the real reasons traditional diets don't work long-term, and show you how to rebuild self-trust, ditch all-or-nothing thinking, and finally stop treating food like a mathematical equation or moral test.   This isn't about having more willpower. It's not about tracking. It's about retraining your brain so that your healthy eating habits start to feel natural and sustainable.   Inside this episode:   Why “just try harder” backfires—and what to do instead The one mindset shift that unlocks consistency How to rebuild self-trust after years of failed promises to yourself The real reason you keep bingeing (it's not about sugar) What to focus on before weight loss to make it last   If you're tired of starting over and ready to explore a completely different (and actually effective) approach, this episode will help you understand why nothing has worked—yet—and what you need to turn your goal into a reality.   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.

If you've ever ended the night face-first in a pint of ice cream thinking, “I just need more willpower,” this episode is a must-listen.   In today's episode of the Outsmart Overeating podcast, Coach Steph and I dismantle the myth that self-control is your missing ingredient. Spoiler: You don't have a willpower problem. You have a thinking problem—and it's not your fault.   We'll show you: Why willpower works in short bursts but always fails long term How decision fatigue is silently sabotaging your food choices The surprising reason your most disciplined efforts are making you feel more out of control Why emotional needs—not food—are the real root of overeating And how changing your inner psychology creates lasting change without food rules or obsession   We're pulling back the curtain on the real drivers behind compulsive eating—like perfectionism, scarcity thinking, and deeply rooted beliefs around weight and worth—and showing you how to break the cycle for good.   If you're tired of being stuck in the binge-restrict loop, this episode will leave you feeling seen, validated, and most importantly—equipped with actionable insights you can use today.  

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. And that's depressing.”   In this episode, Coach Steph and I unpack why so many dieters end up feeling hopeless—even after massive weight loss—and how diet culture traps us in an exhausting cycle of restriction, obsession, and fear of regaining it all.   You'll learn:   Why weight loss alone doesn't heal your relationship with food The real reason calorie counting and food rules aren't sustainable What it actually looks like to eat like a “normal” healthy person—and keep the weight off Why you must lose it the way you want to live it   If the idea of spending the rest of your life obsessing over every bite makes you want to scream, this episode is for you.   Listen now to find a new way forward—one that doesn't suck the joy out of your life.   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 access to early bird discounts and fast action bonuses), join the Interest List.

As a professional dieter, you've probably read a lot about compulsive overeating and the uncontrollable urges that drive food obsession. So much so, that you may even feel like you're addicted to food.   And chances are, what you're experiencing feels like what you're battling is far beyond willpower and personal discipline.   But here's the thing. If this was a true deficit in your character, you would not be where you are in terms of career, education, regular workouts and adherence to other things in life.   So what the F*#% is going on here!?   Today, we discuss how you can dump the constant raging voice that tells you to eat just for the sake of eating.   I know. I've been there.   It doesn't just yell, it screams, "EAT THIS; EAT THIS; EAT THIS NEXT; WHAT ARE WE EATING NEXT?" regardless of what is going on. In fact, you could literally be finishing a satisfying meal and the voice will yell to eat something else, even though I am hungry and genuinely do not need anymore.   Don't miss today's episode as Coach Steph and I breakdown HOW this happens and WHAT you can do, starting immediately, to silence this voice forever.   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

How often do you tell yourself a story about how awful something will be and then you get to the thing you were worried about and think, 'That wasn't such a big deal!' Our brains are wired to anticipate and focus on potential threats—this is a survival mechanism known as negativity bias. It evolved to help early humans stay alert to dangers, but in modern life, it often leads us to overestimate how bad a situation will be. In today's episode, I explore a few psychological terms that are at play AND how to overcome them. Negativity Bias Impact Bias The Brain's Prediction Error - Our brains aren't great at predicting emotional outcomes accurately!! In my research, I found we are remarkably bad at predicting their future emotions—especially how long negative feelings will last. Most of the time, we adapt much faster than we expect. Also, Coach Steph joins me on the podcast and shares how all of this was at play for her when she was thinking about getting up early for a workout! I also share how this was happening when the stock market took a dip in the last couple weeks. You don't want to miss this. I find it extremely helpful to be able to recognize when our brain is in a reactive fear-based mode so I can clearly think through situations and move forward towards what I actually want!

Break the cycle of holiday weight gain by taking control of EXACTLY what and how much you eat using the 7 simple steps outlined in The Ultimate Toolkit to Stop Holiday Overeating. No  foods off limits. No counting calories. No drama.   This week marks the beginning of several weeks of holidays.   That means parties, family gatherings, and lots of food. Thanksgiving is all about being grateful for what we have, who we are connected to in our lives. But too often, for most, it's all about the food. The turkey. The stuffing. The pies. The side dishes. Need I go on? You don't have to go to your holiday meals carrying a small Tupperware container with veggies and cottage cheese. That's old school, right? You are here to live your life and that includes enjoying good food. But that doesn't have to mean that you leave this holiday being as stuffed as the turkey. I want you to feel excited going into this holiday, not dreading it. So this week, Coach Steph and I talk about dealing with this holiday season in a way that allows for pleasure, but still leaves you in charge of what you do, how you eat and how you feel. I'm going to show you how to think going into these celebrations, what to do, and how to create an occasion for yourself that you can look back at and feel proud. Proud of yourself for keeping your word to yourself, AND still enjoying all of the food. Can you do it?

ANNOUNCEMENT: Are you a Burned Out Dieter Who's Struggling to Stay on Track? Join me and Coach Steph in the Outsmart Overeating program -- 6 weeks dedicated to helping emotional, binge, and compulsive overeaters STOP OVEREATING through psychology, NOT restrictive dieting or willpower. You can snag all the details on the enrollment page.   This week, I invited client, Dr Leah, onto the show to share her experience in my signature psychology-based weight loss program, Unstuffed.     As a doctor, Leah reveals how little formal nutrition education she actually received in her medical training. And as a struggling dieter herself, she found the standard medical recommendation to "follow a Keto diet for weight loss" to be nearly impossible to maintain, especially after having her first child.     In this episode, Leah talks about the power of habits and the benefit of having a deeper 'why' than simply wanting to lose weight for health and vanity. In Leah's case, she felt a strong connection to wanting to honor and respect a body that was made in God's image.     Also, it was important to her to pass down these habits to her children and create a healthy environment where she could thrive -- both in home and at the office with her patients -- by being a good role model. She's been enjoying the benefits of the program so much that she's now convinced her husband (another doctor) to join.      Healthy habits truly are the gift that keeps on giving!   If you're a burned out dieter who's feeling frustrated and hopeless, be sure to give this episode a listen. Dieting challenges usually get worse with time, not better. Do your future-self a favor and take action now.

She eventually found a therapist, and at first her progress was significant. But slowly, over time, she noticed that she was still thinking about food in an obsessive and controlling way.   It wasn't as obvious as before, but the subtle behaviors -- like trying to eat 'clean' and stick to her macros -- still felt like they were consuming too much of her mental bandwidth.   This week, I'm excited to share the story of past client, Nicolette Tomaszewski. At 37 years-old, Nicolette is now a therapist, who has recently undergone one of the most transformative eating experiences of her life.   In this episode, Nicolette gets real by getting vulnerable. Some of the topics discussed:     She reveals the unconventional process that changed everything and how it turned out to be EXACTLY what she needed to break-free from the cycle of dysfunctional dieting for good. She shares why therapy didn't give her all the tools she needed to stop the weight loss obsession (and what has actually worked) How this going through this life-changing process has impacted the way she counsels her own clients in therapy in a way that's compassionate, yet goal-supporting How breaking up with dieting has opened up more ways for her to live a rich, rewarding life while maintaining a healthy, fit body in a way that feels easy and effortless.
