If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll never stick with this,” or “What’s the point? I always mess it up,” this episode is for you.

In this powerful and honest conversation, Jody dives into the limiting beliefs that quietly sabotage your progress—like feeling too old to change, thinking you’ve failed too many times, or believing that lasting weight loss just isn’t possible for you.

But here’s the truth: those beliefs aren’t facts. They’re stories your brain has rehearsed over and over to keep you “safe.” And while they may feel true, they’re often the very thing keeping you stuck.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why your brain holds onto negative beliefs (and how to gently shift them)
• How to reframe the “I can’t” thoughts that block your progress
• The power of neuroplasticity and why it’s never too late to change
• Simple mindset tools to start rewriting your inner narrative today

This episode isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being aware, taking back your power, and becoming the version of yourself who keeps going.

You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
And the best part? You get to write the story from here.

Diet culture is sneaky. It’s not just a diet—it’s a belief system that’s shaped how many of us have eaten, moved, and viewed our bodies for decades. 

In this episode of How to Eat Cake on a Diet, we unpack what diet culture really is, how it shows up in your everyday life (even when you’re not dieting), and why it can quietly sabotage your long-term success.

From labeling food as “good” or “bad,” to tying your worth to your weight, to the guilt that creeps in after eating something you enjoy—this episode will help you name the patterns you’ve been stuck in and give you a new way forward.

You’ll learn:

• How tracking tools can either help or harm—depending on mindset
• The difference between being skinny and being free
• What to do instead of dieting, and how to close the door on shame

If you’re ready to stop chasing perfection and start building a healthier relationship with food, your body, and your goals—this one’s for you.

If you feel like you’re constantly thinking about food—what you ate, what you shouldn’t have eaten, what you’re going to eat next—you are not alone. And you’re not broken. You’ve just been starved.

In this powerful episode of How to Eat Cake on a Diet, Jody uncovers the truth behind food obsession, binge eating, clean-plate habits, and why decades of dieting have rewired your brain and body. Drawing from the haunting 1944 Minnesota Starvation Experiment, we connect the dots between historical science and modern diet culture—explaining why hunger, cravings, and food noise don’t go away with more control… they go away with more nourishment.

You’ll learn:

• Why your brain can’t stop thinking about food
• The biological changes caused by chronic restriction
• Why eating more (not less) is the key to peace
• And how to finally begin healing your relationship with food

This isn’t another plan to follow. This is a recovery path. And it starts with understanding that your body has always been on your side.

In this episode of How to Eat Cake on a Diet, we’re diving deep into one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck in unhealthy patterns—even when they’re trying their hardest to change: the habit loop.

You’ll learn how your brain wires habits around stress, boredom, and emotional triggers—and why those cravings hit hardest when you finally try to make a change. We’re talking fast food, late-night snacking, mindless eating, and the emotional loops that keep dragging you back in.

But don’t worry—this isn’t just about the science. We’re keeping it real and relatable, with tools you can actually use:

• How to recognize your cues (they're sneakier than you think)
• Why willpower isn't the answer (and what works instead)
• What an extinction burst is—and why it means you're doing it right
• The reason tying your progress to the scale is killing your motivation
• How to rewire habits with small swaps that feel doable in real life

Whether your loop involves chips, drive-thrus, or scrolling with snacks, this episode gives you the mindset and strategy to finally interrupt that pattern and start building habits that actually stick.

Ready to ditch the all-or-nothing mentality and create change that lasts?

Let’s get into it.

In today’s episode of How to Eat Cake on a Diet, we’re diving into one of the most underrated strategies for weight loss and food freedom: meal structure. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly hungry, stuck in a cycle of snacking, or overwhelmed by food decisions all day long, structured meals could be the game-changer you need.

• Why hunger isn’t an emergency—and how to manage it between meals
• How structured eating allows you to eat more satisfying meals (without restriction)
• Practical steps to start implementing a meal schedule that works for you

Is the scale driving you crazy? Do you feel like you’re doing everything right, but the number isn’t moving fast enough? You’re not alone—and today, we’re tackling one of the biggest frustrations in weight loss: speed.

In this episode of How to Eat Cake on a Diet, I break down what’s actually normal when it comes to weight loss, why the scale fluctuates so much, and why fast weight loss isn’t better weight loss. We’ll talk about:

• The realistic rate of fat loss (and why it’s not the same for everyone)
• Why fluctuations and stalls don’t mean failure
• What plateaus really are (and when to adjust your plan)
• How to use the scale as a tool instead of a source of stress
• What really moves the needle: calories, protein, fiber, movement, and consistency

Plus, I’ll share why even people on Ozempic aren’t losing 6 pounds a week, and how to shift your focus from chasing quick fixes to building habits that actually last.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or ready to throw in the towel because the scale isn’t cooperating, this episode will help you step back, zoom out, and trust the process.

Welcome to How to Eat Cake on a Diet. I’m Jody, and today we’re talking about something that a lot of people experience but not enough people talk about—what happens after you’ve already lost a substantial amount of weight, but you’re still not quite at your goal?

If you’ve dropped 50, 60, maybe even 100 pounds, you already know how much effort it takes to change your body. You’ve built habits, you’ve learned how to track, how to move, how to manage your food. But now, you’re in this weird in-between phase. You’re not where you started, but you’re not where you want to be, either.

And that last 10, 15, 20 pounds? It’s a whole different kind of battle.

At first, there was urgency. Maybe you were struggling with energy, mobility, or feeling uncomfortable in your body. The need to change was strong. But now? Now, you could stay here. You could coast. Life is easier than it was before, and no one would blame you for settling into this new version of yourself.

But something inside you still wants more. You want to see what else you’re capable of.

That’s where grit comes in.

This isn’t about quick fixes, hacks, or motivation. This is about deciding to push forward when the fire isn’t as strong as it used to be. It’s about choosing to take yourself to the next level—not because you have to, but because you want to.

So, if you’re stuck in that frustrating gap between “I’ve come so far” and “I’m still not where I want to be,” this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what it really takes to close that gap and reach the finish line.
