The Weigh Out (formerly Weight Loss Mindset)

The Weigh Out

The diet industry sold you a lie: that willpower is the answer and failure is your fault. It's not. You've tried every program, followed every rule, and blamed yourself when they didn't work. But the problem was never your discipline. The Weigh Out exposes why traditional weight loss advice backfires and teaches you the psychology-based approach that actually works. This is weight loss through identity transformation, not restriction. We don't do meal plans or motivation. We reset your identity so the food noise finally goes quiet. If you're ready for something radically different, you're in the right place. The goal isn't another program to follow. The goal is freedom from the constant mental negotiation with food. www.theweighout.net

    The Death Of Common Sense | Part 3: Stop Pulling the Slingshot

    500-calorie diets. Extended fasts. Keto extremism. Carnivore. Juice cleanses. We’ve gotten remarkably sophisticated at starving ourselves. We just gave it scientific-sounding names. Here’s what nobody tells you: every one of these approaches pulls back a slingshot. Biological tension. Psychological tension. And eventually, always eventually, your grip slips. The snapback isn’t a character flaw. It’s physics. In this episode, I’m walking through the museum of modern restriction and showing you exactly why the binge isn’t a failure. It’s a predictable outcome of an unsustainable approach. In this episode: * The 500-calorie diet and the lie of “detox headaches” * Extended fasting: ancestral wisdom or manufactured starvation? * How keto became a religion and why people are afraid of carrots * The slingshot effect: why restriction guarantees snapback * Why the diet industry is counting on your “failure” If this resonates: If you’ve ever blamed yourself for a binge, this episode is your permission slip to stop.

    The Death of Common Sense | Part 2: The Needle Won't Save You

    Ozempic. Wegovy. Mounjaro. A few years ago, these were diabetes medications. Today, they’re the hottest weight loss trend on the planet. I understand the pull. After decades of failed diets and shame spirals, someone hands you a needle and says, “This will finally work.” Of course you’re tempted. But what happens when you stop? What message does it send about your body? And why does the weight almost always come back? In this episode, I’m breaking down the injection epidemic—not to shame anyone, but to ask the question nobody’s asking: If the thermostat never changes, what exactly did the needle fix? In this episode: * Why people are fighting for weight loss prescriptions * The side effects nobody talks about * The message the needle sends: “Your body is broken” * Why weight returns when the injections stop * The thermostat metaphor—and why chemistry can’t override identity This is a public episode.

    The Death of Common Sense | Part 1: We've Lost Our Minds

    Injecting diabetes drugs to lose weight. Surviving on 800 calories. Wrapping ourselves in plastic. Fasting for days and calling it a "protocol." When did this become normal? In this episode, I'm asking the question nobody wants to ask anymore: Does any of this actually make sense? The answer is no. And that's not an accident. The diet industry didn't just fail us. It broke us. It manufactured our desperation, and then sold us increasingly extreme "solutions" that were never designed to work long-term. They were designed to keep us coming back. Today, we start at the beginning. How we got here. Why we stopped trusting ourselves. And what it's going to take to reclaim the common sense that was stolen from us. In this episode: The absurdity we've normalized in the name of "health"How desperation replaces wisdom and why the diet industry counts on itThe difference between "Does this make sense?" and "Will this finally work?"Why every failure pushed you further from your own judgmentThe rigged game and how to stop playing This is a public episode.

  4. The Diet Trap: How Restriction Literally Damages Your Brain

    The Diet Trap: How Restriction Literally Damages Your Brain

    We treat dieting like a reset button. We assume we can wipe the slate clean with a new plan and fresh discipline. But the brain keeps a record. In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of the "Diet Trap" and how chronic restriction creates a "Hunger Highway" that makes food noise louder and willpower weaker. We stop blaming your character and start looking at the engine—specifically, how to shift from a "Red State" of threat to a "Blue State" of safety to finally turn down the noise. Important points discussed: The Willpower Gap: Why you are working twice as hard for half the results compared to ten years ago.The Hunger Highway: How neuroplasticity physically rewires your brain to become efficient at being hungry.Red State vs. Blue State: Understanding why your brain interprets a calorie deficit as a survival threat.The Binge Logic: Why bingeing is not a failure of discipline, but a successful biological rescue mission.Radical Maintenance: The counter-intuitive protocol required to heal the metabolic damage and shut off the alarm bells. Action Step: Stop the deficit. This week, your goal is "Radical Maintenance." Feed your body consistently to convince your brain the famine is over. You cannot rehabilitate a damaged organ while you are still attacking it. This is a public episode.

    Q&A16 "I Feel Numb," The Fear of Deleting Calorie Apps & Why You Feel Hungry 24/7

    In this follow-up to our deep dive on Interoception, we tackle the real-world struggles of reconnecting with your body. We discuss why you might feel "numb" when you try to scan your body, why some people feel hungry 24/7 (and what it really means), and whether you can heal your relationship with food while still tracking calories. Key Questions Answered: What if I do the body scan and feel absolutely nothing?Why does it feel like I’m hungry every waking hour?Do I have to delete MyFitnessPal to learn intuitive eating?How do I find the "stop" signal when I’m used to cleaning my plate?I know it’s anxiety, not hunger—but I still want to eat. Now what? Action Step: Try the "Halftime Pause". At your next meal, stop eating when your food is half gone. Put the fork down for two minutes. Don’t look at your phone. Just sit. Give your satiety signal time to travel from your gut to your brain. This is a public episode.

    Why You Can't Tell When You're Hungry: The Neuroscience Of Interoception & The Intuitive Eating Trap

    The Somatic Signature of Hunger: Why You Can't Tell When You're Actually Hungry Episode Summary: You’ve been told to "listen to your body" and "eat when you're hungry."  But what if you’ve been listening for years and hear absolutely nothing until you’re starving? In this episode, we dismantle the myth of Intuitive Eating for chronic dieters. We explore the neuroscience of interoception, your body’s internal dashboard, and how years of restriction have effectively cut the wire between your gut and your brain. If you feel like you're flying blind without a calorie tracker, this episode explains why and how to turn the lights back on. Important points: The "Deafness" of Dieting: How ignoring hunger signals for years has trained your brain to treat biological cues as background noise.Interoception 101: Understanding the "8th sense" and the role of the Insula in regulating your weight.The Intuitive Eating Trap: Why standard advice to "trust your gut" backfires for dieters who have lost their somatic connection.High & Buzzy vs. Low & Hollow: A practical tool to distinguish between anxiety (nervous system activation) and true biological hunger.Rebuilding the Hardware: Why you need "physical therapy" for your interoception before you can successfully eat intuitively. Action Step: Practice the Non-Food Body Scan three times a day. Stop for 30 seconds and locate a sensation (temperature, pressure, heartbeat) that has nothing to do with food. You are retraining your brain to receive data from the body again. This is a public episode.

    Q&A15 The Evening Crash, "Faking It," and The Grief of Change

    In this Q&A, we go deeper into the concept of Identity vs. Discipline. We tackle the specific, messy roadblocks that popped up after Monday’s episode—specifically the fear that identity work is just "delusional" and the exhaustion of the evening binge. Questions Answered: The Evening Crash: Why you have zero discipline after 5:00 PM (and why it’s not your fault).Imposter Syndrome: Is "acting" like a healthy person just lying to yourself?Identity Grief: What happens when your whole personality is tied to being the "funny fat friend"?When It "Fails": I asked the identity question and still ate the cookie. Now what?Starting Small: How to shift identity when you have 100+ lbs to lose. Key Takeaway: Transformation is a grieving process. You have to be willing to "kill" the old version of yourself to give birth to the new one. This isn't just about calories; it's about who you are in the world. This is a public episode.

  8. Why I Stopped Relying on "Discipline" (And Why You Should Too)

    08/12/2025

    Why I Stopped Relying on "Discipline" (And Why You Should Too)

    We are taught that weight loss is a test of character. If you are overweight, society tells you it’s because you lack the willpower to say "no." You likely believe this too. You wake up every Monday promising to be "better," to white-knuckle your way through cravings, and to force your body into submission. But by Friday (or Tuesday night), you’re exhausted, and the binge feels inevitable. In this episode, I’m challenging the holy grail of diet culture: Discipline. I explain why relying on willpower is actually a symptom of a misaligned identity, not a solution. We discuss why discipline is a finite battery that will always fail you when you are tired, and how to shift into an "Identity Mindset" where making healthy choices feels as natural as brushing your teeth. Important points from episode: The Battery Problem: Discipline is a finite resource. Every time you stifle an emotion, focus on a hard task, or say "no" to a donut, you drain the battery. By 8:00 PM, you aren't weak—you are depleted.Identity vs. Acting: Most dieters are "actors" playing the role of a healthy person. It takes immense energy to stay in character. The goal is to stop acting and start being.The Rubber Band Effect: Trying to change your body without changing your identity is like running against a rubber band attached to a post. Eventually, the tension snaps you back. Identity work moves the post.Friction vs. Flow: Discipline asks, "How can I force myself to do this?" Identity asks, "Who do I believe I am?" Action Step: Next time you feel the need to use "discipline" to make a choice, pause. Ask yourself: "What would the version of me who has already succeeded do in this moment?" Borrow that identity for just ten seconds. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.theweighout.net
