Many people turn to zero-calorie drinks and low-calorie foods thinking they’re making a smart choice for weight loss. But what if these choices are actually working against you?
In this episode of Drop It, we dive into The Diet Coke Effect—the hidden way artificial sweeteners and low-calorie substitutes can increase cravings, ramp up appetite, and cause you to overeat without even realizing it.
Here’s what we cover:
How artificially sweetened foods trick your brain and make cravings worse.
Why “saving calories” with zero-calorie options often leads to eating more later.
The cycle of Diet Coke & overeating: why these choices don’t actually help.
How to break free from the trap of relying on fake foods and still feeling hungry.
The best way to eat for satiety so you naturally reduce cravings and eat less.
If you’ve ever wondered why you still feel hungry, crave sugar, or struggle with overeating, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do instead.

If food is the highlight of your day, it’s time to take a step back. When eating becomes your main source of joy, comfort, or reward, it’s no wonder weight loss feels impossible.
In this episode of Drop It, we dive into:
Why food has such a strong emotional pull—and how to break free from it.
How to build a life so fulfilling that food doesn’t feel like the only reward.
Ways to create excitement, adventure, and joy outside of eating.
How to shift your mindset so food is not always the main event.
When your life is full, food becomes just one small piece of the puzzle—not the thing you look forward to most. If you’ve ever struggled with emotional eating, food rewards, or feeling stuck in a cycle of overeating, this episode will help you take back control.
Listen now and start making your life bigger than food!

#063 - The Dark Side of Intermittent Fasting (that no one talks about)

Intermittent fasting is often hyped as the ultimate weight loss hack, but for me, it did the exact opposite. Instead of helping me drop weight effortlessly, it led to binge eating, food obsession, and a completely messed-up relationship with food.
In this episode of Drop It, I break down:
How fasting changed the way I felt about my first meal—making me eat bigger, less frequent meals.
Why I became less satiated throughout the day and started thinking about food constantly.
How my 3 meals a day turned into 2… then into 1, leading to binge-like behavior.
Why intermittent fasting increased my food obsession instead of helping me eat intuitively.
The hidden downsides of intermittent fasting that no one talks about.
While intermittent fasting may have some health benefits, it’s not for everyone—and it’s definitely not the magic weight loss shortcut it’s made out to be. If you’ve ever struggled with overeating, binge eating, or food obsession, this episode is for you.

#062 - Making Peace with the Scale

If stepping on the scale feels like an emotional rollercoaster, it’s time to change your relationship with it. The number you see does not define you, and obsessing over daily fluctuations will only hold you back. But avoiding the scale completely isn’t the answer either.
In this episode of Drop It, we break down why making peace with the scale is crucial for long-term, sustainable weight loss and how to use it as a tool—not as a source of stress. Here’s what we cover:
Why the scale isn’t an accurate measure of daily fat loss (and what actually matters).
How shifting your mindset to non-scale victories helps keep you on track.
How to read long-term trends instead of reacting emotionally to daily numbers.
Breaking free from scale obsession so you can stay consistent for life.
Your weight does not determine your worth. But weigh-ins are an important tool for maintaining progress long-term. Learning to use the scale correctly—without letting it mess with your mindset—is key to achieving sustainable results and keeping them for good.

Too many people approach weight loss like it’s a competition—racing to lose weight the fastest, comparing themselves to others, and feeling like they’re “falling behind.” But here’s the truth: this isn’t The Biggest Loser—it’s your real life.
In this episode of Drop It, we break down:
Why comparing your journey to others will only slow you down.
The dangers of the “fastest weight loss wins” mindset and how it leads to burnout.
Why the only competition that matters is you vs. your past self.
How to stay focused, build momentum, and actually enjoy the process.
If you’re tired of feeling like you’re “not losing fast enough,” this episode will help you reframe your mindset and focus on the only progress that matters—your own.
