    No matter how many diets you try, if you keep thinking like a dieter, you’ll always end up in the same place: stuck in the binge–restrict cycle.

    Why? Because your thoughts are like your brain’s GPS. If the destination programmed in is scarcity, rules, and willpower,that’s exactly where you’ll land—again and again.

    But when you learn to think like a naturally thin person—someone with an abundance mindset around food—you set your GPS to a completely different destination: freedom, peace, and control.

    In this episode, Coach Steph Miramontes and I break down the Mindshift Method—a simple way to retrain your thoughts so you stop relying on willpower and finally re-route your brain toward balance. You’ll discover:

    • Why “dieter thoughts” keep you spinning your wheels

    • How to update your mental GPS so your choices feel effortless

    • What life looks like when food no longer controls you

  • EPISODE 79: From "1 Cookie Always Turns Into 10" to "Now I Bake for Fun"
    2025/08/26

    Unlock Your Brain to Stop Binge & Emotional Overeating by attending our upcoming FREE LIVE VIRTUAL EVENT for women who have a history of all-or-nothing eating and want to who want to Discover THE Science-Backed Method to Stop Bingeing and *Finally* Lose Weight for Good STARTING TODAY... 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.

  • EPISODE 78: When Therapy Uncovers WHY You Binge, But You Still Need the HOW
    2025/08/19

    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.

  • EPISODE 77: How Maddy Ditched Dieting and Has Kept the Weight Off for 3 Years
    2025/08/12

    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.

  • EPISODE 76: What to Do When You've "Tried Everything and Nothing Works"
    2025/08/05

    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.
