You’ve probably heard it all:
“Calories in, calories out.”
“Just eat less and move more.”
“Track everything.”
“Discipline over everything.”
But here’s the truth—most popular weight loss advice is exactly what’s keeping you stuck.
In this episode of Drop It, I break down 18 of the most common weight loss myths and outdated strategies that sound smart… but actually sabotage long-term success.
We cover:
✅ Why “eat less, move more” is oversimplified and unhelpful
✅ How traditional dieting ignores sustainability, mindset, and food behaviors
✅ The toxic mental patterns baked into most diet culture advice
✅ Why behavior change—not just calorie counting—is the real key
✅ How to spot bad advice (even when it’s popular) and choose what actually works
If you’re stuck in the cycle of starting over, falling off, and wondering what’s wrong with you—this is your wake-up call. The problem isn’t you. It’s the approach.

#079 - How I stopped eating my feelings.
Book your call with Nick: Click Here
I used to cope with everything by eating.
Stress? Food.
Fear? Food.
Loneliness, shame, boredom? Always food.
But that’s not who I am anymore. In this episode of Drop It, I walk you through exactly how I stopped emotionally eating—not just managing the tendency, but actually letting it go.
I share:
✅ The key shift that helped me stop numbing myself with food
✅ Why “just having willpower” isn’t the solution for emotional eating
✅ The exact steps I take to feel my feelings instead of feeding them
✅ Two near-death experiences that triggered deep emotional waves—and how I handled them without food
✅ How to stop seeing food as comfort and start trusting yourself to sit in discomfort
You don’t need to “cope better.”
You need to stop running from the emotion underneath the binge.
And that starts with giving yourself permission to feel.

This is the most important episode I’ve ever recorded.
Because losing weight isn’t just about changing your body—it’s about changing your mind.
In this episode of Drop It, I take you deep into the actual mindset shift that helped me lose 110 pounds and keep it off. I compare what I used to believe at 274 lbs… to how I think now at 164.
Here’s what we cover:
✅ How I used to think about calories, macros, and “eating clean”
✅ The difference in how I see the mirror, the scale, and my self-worth
✅ Why I used to think I had to diet myself to weight loss—and why that never worked
✅ From “I just need to lose it fast” to “The way I lose it determines whether I keep it off”
✅ The truth about alcohol, fitness, coaching, loose skin, sex, and more
✅ How I moved from all-or-nothing thinking to real self-respect and long-term peace
This is the mindset episode.
If you want to think like a healthy person—not just eat like one—this is your blueprint.
