    How Colette Lost Four Stone After Years of Yo-Yo Dieting

    Colette had a personal trainer, meal plans and years of dieting, and still couldn’t change how she ate. Then Slimpod shifted her habits, and she lost four stone, even through chemotherapy. Colette knew what she was supposed to do. Her personal trainer gave her meal preparation plans and food diaries. Her doctor told her to lose weight. She still couldn’t do it. That’s the bit most diets miss. Knowing what to eat isn’t the same as feeling like doing it. In this episode, Colette tells me what changed after she started Slimpod, the nine-minute audio programme designed to work on the automatic patterns behind everyday food choices. She noticed the difference the very next day, when she became far more aware of the choices she was making. Over time, the change showed up in how she ate, shopped, cooked and moved, and in the four stone she lost in under a year. We talk about: Why a personal trainer, food diaries and meal plans weren’t enough, and what shifted when the habits changedNoticing her choices change after just one night of listeningFrom a “convenience food queen” who could eat 12 packs of Wotsits in one go to someone who can’t bear the smell of them nowWhy comfort foods stopped satisfying herHow she went from ready meals to batch cooking, without feeling deprivedChoosing a quick Thai green curry over a takeaway, and why it felt natural rather than like willpowerMoving more, and the support of the Slimpod communityWhy fear of failure is one of the biggest psychological leftovers from dieting. In my survey of 4,000 former dieters, it came up again and again.Staying on track through chemotherapy, and what Colette credits for keeping her immunity strongColette’s story is in the “Breaking Through Fear” section of my new book, The Weight’s Over: Take Back Control. I’m Sandra Roycroft-Davis, creator of Slimpod and a behavioural change specialist for over 15 years. I wanted Colette’s story in the book because it shows what happens when healthier choices become easier and more instinctive, even in the hardest of circumstances. 🎧 Try Slimpod FREE for 10 days:⁠https://thinkingslimmer.com/gold-free...⁠ Want more stories like Colette’s?

    How Diane Lost Four Stone After Years on a Weight Loss Plateau

    Retired GP Diane Meek has lost four stone after years on a weight loss plateau. She talks to Sandra Roycroft-Davis about Slimpod, Mounjaro, low carb and why belief mattered most. Diane Meek is a retired GP. She knows the medicine inside out, and for years her weight still wouldn’t budge. In this episode, Diane tells me what finally started to shift things for her, and why she says the biggest change of all was belief in herself, not food. We talk about: Why a long weight loss plateau can make you wonder, “Am I one of the people it doesn’t work for?”How bowel surgery, antibiotics and other health problems can get in the wayWhat changed when Diane added Mounjaro, and how the jab affected food noise and appetiteWhy cutting back on staple carbs (bread, pasta, rice and potatoes) made such a difference for herHer suspected insulin resistance, and why she’s interested in fat adaptation and low carbHow she feels about coming off the jab and keeping the weight offI’m Sandra Roycroft-Davis, creator of Slimpod and a behavioural change specialist for over 15 years. I wanted to share Diane’s story because there isn’t one answer to weight loss. Sometimes it takes experimenting, being open-minded and knowing your own body well enough to work out what moves things for you. Diane mentions my earlier podcast episode with the metabolic doctors, which goes into detail on staple carbs and insulin.

    How Ava Lost 25 Kg and Kept It Off for 6 Years

    Losing weight is one thing. Keeping it off is where most people come unstuck. Ava joined Slimpod in 2020 after decades of Weight Watchers, Slimming World and "I'll start on Monday". Six years on, she's still at her goal weight. In this catch-up, we talk about what's changed. Ava was the person who ate dessert before the meal, who binged all weekend and went "very good" from Monday to Thursday. She was sceptical about listening to something nine minutes a day and thought, "How can that work?" But with a 10-day free trial, she figured there was nothing to lose. What changed wasn't a new set of rules. Her thinking around food shifted, sweets and chocolate gradually gave way to fruit, and she stopped feeling controlled by sugar. In this episode we talk about: Why the Monday-start cycle keeps so many people stuckWhy weight maintenance is a different challenge from weight lossHow Ava eats now, including her "graze bowl", without feeling like she's on a permanent dietWhy enjoying your food and your lifestyle makes maintenance easierWhat diet fatigue feels like after years of trying everythingI'm Sandra Roycroft-Davis, behavioural change specialist and creator of Slimpod. I've spent more than 15 years helping people change the automatic habits behind everyday food choices, because I want people to keep the weight off in a fairly effortless way. Ava is a perfect example of why. 🎧 Try Slimpod FREE for 10 days:https://thinkingslimmer.com/gold-free...📘 Download my FREE weight loss ebook:https://thinkingslimmer.com/get-free-... #WeightMaintenance #SugarCravings #Slimpod #YoYoDieting

    How Johanna Lost 2-3 Dress Sizes and Kept Them Off for a Year!

    Lose it. Put it back on. Start again. Sound familiar? Johanna had done that more times than she can count. A year ago she found Slimpod. Today she's gone from a size 16 to a 10-12, and she's kept it off. Here's the interesting bit. Johanna already knew what to eat. Most of us do. What changed was what felt natural to do. She stopped planning the next meal while eating the current one, the sweets and crisps stopped catching her eye, and "I've blown it" became "I'll start fresh tomorrow." That's the bit most diets miss. They tell you what to do. Slimpod's nine-minute audio is designed to help change what you instinctively want to do, by working on the automatic patterns behind everyday choices. Over time, many people find healthier choices get easier and more natural, and that's what makes them stick. In this conversation, we talk about: What food noise actually feels like, and what happened when it went quiet The supermarket moment after day one Why being kind to yourself gets you further than beating yourself up Heavy weights, dog walks and why consistency beats going all out The goal map and Johanna's three daily wins Want to see what it could do for you?
