    Why Are Women Still Judged for Their Bodies? (The Public Scrutiny Problem)

    Why are women still being judged, criticised, and torn apart in the public eye because of their weight or the way they look? In this episode we dive into the brutal reality of body scrutiny in the media, using examples from celebrities like Kelly Osbourne and Victoria Beckham, and why women’s bodies continue to be treated like public property. We talk honestly (and a little cheekily) about the people who feel entitled to comment, the damage it causes, and the mindset shift needed to stop letting other people’s opinions dictate how we feel about ourselves. This episode covers Why body shaming is still so normalised The double standards women face in the public eye How criticism fuels insecurity and diet culture Learning to trust yourself instead of outside voices It’s bold, it’s honest, and it’s a reminder that other people’s opinions about your body say far more about them than they do about you. 🎧 Listen now.

    It’s Loren's Birthday. She's Not Eating Cake for Anyone Else

    This episode is dedicated to Loren’s birthday and it’s not about rules, restriction, or being told how you should celebrate. Because somewhere along the way, celebration became performative.Eat the cake. Drink the prosecco. “Enjoy yourself.”Even if it doesn’t actually feel good. In this episode, we talk about celebrating without pressure, choosing what you actually want, and stepping away from food decisions driven by marketing, tradition, or other people’s expectations. We explore how to celebrate in a way that aligns with your body, your goals, and your life, whether that includes cake, doesn’t include cake, or changes from year to year. This is about freedom, not denial.Choice, not obligation.And proving that enjoying life doesn’t mean sabotaging yourself. If you’ve ever felt pushed to eat, drink, or “treat” because it was a special occasion, this episode will give you permission to do things differently. 🎧 Listen now and celebrate on your terms.

    Restriction Creates the “F*ck It” Moment

    Restriction is sold as discipline.In reality, it’s the fastest route to bingeing. In this episode, we break down why restriction never works for long-term weight loss and how it creates a cycle of punishment, negative self-talk, and the inevitable “f*ck it” moment. We talk about what actually happens when you label foods as good or bad, why deprivation fuels obsession, and how restriction damages your relationship with food, even when weight loss seems to be “working” at first. If you’ve ever been “good” all day, slipped up, and then written the whole day off, this episode will help you Understand why restriction leads to binge eating Stop the guilt & punishment cycle Reframe setbacks without spiralling Build a more sustainable approach to weight loss This isn’t about lack of willpower.It’s about a system that was never designed to last. 🎧 Listen now and start breaking the cycle.

    2 Years of Fighting Diet Culture: What’s Changed (and What GLP-1 Means for Weight Loss)

    This week marks two years of the F**k the Diet Cycle Podcast, and we’re reflecting on how much the weight loss world has shifted, especially with the rise of GLP-1 medications. Diet culture doesn’t look the same as it did a year ago. The conversation has moved from slimming clubs and shakes to injections, appetite suppression, and “quick fixes” in a different form. But has the mindset around food, bodies, and self-worth actually changed? In this anniversary episode, we talk about: How diet culture has evolved over the past year The impact of GLP-1 weight loss drugs on the industry Why tools can help, but mindset still matters What still keeps women stuck in the cycle, just in a new package How to approach weight loss and maintenance without pressure or extremes This isn’t about being for or against one method. It’s about understanding the bigger picture and making sure your approach to weight loss actually supports your long term health, relationship with food, and confidence. Two years in, and the mission is still the same:end the diet cycle, not just change its format. 🎧 Listen now and see what’s really changed and what hasn’t.

    Maintenance Isn’t Passive: Why We Still Use the Tools We Teach

    Maintenance isn’t something you “arrive at” and forget about.It’s an active part of ending the diet cycle. In this episode, we talk honestly about what maintenance really looks like once the weight is lost. We share the tools we still use ourselves, why consistency doesn’t mean perfection, and how having support and structure is what stops the cycle from starting again. This isn’t about being rigid or obsessed with food.It’s about understanding yourself, noticing patterns early, and knowing how to respond without spiralling. If you’re worried about “what happens after the weight loss”, this episode will help you see maintenance for what it actually is — real life, with tools that work. 🎧 Listen now.
