The Weigh Out (formerly Weight Loss Mindset)

How did common sense die?It didn’t die on its own. It was murdered. Slowly. Deliberately. Profitably.The killer has a name: the diet industry. And its weapon was a single lie, repeated so often we stopped recognizing it as a lie at all. “Eat less and move more.”In this episode, I’m naming the enemy explicitly. The $250 billion machine that profits from your failure. The gaslighting disguised as advice. The system designed to keep you trapped.In this episode:* The lie that broke us: “Eat less and move more”* How a $250 billion industry profits from your failure* The escalation funnel: diets → pills → injections → surgery* Why they keep you focused on food so you never examine your mind* The Willpower Trap—and how it holds youIf this resonates:This is the episode that changes how you see everything.

We have more nutritional information than any generation in human history. More apps. More trackers. More studies, podcasts, and expert opinions.And we’re more confused, anxious, and disordered than ever.Our grandparents didn’t know what a macronutrient was. They just ate. Now we’re weighing chicken breast to the gram and scanning barcodes like our lives depend on it.In this episode, I’m talking about how information became a prison—and how tracking taught you to distrust yourself.In this episode:* How tracking became obsession* The “hostage situation” of constant calculation* Why experts can’t agree—and why that’s making you crazy* Orthorexia: disorder disguised as optimization* The truth: you already know how to eatIf this resonates:If you’ve ever felt enslaved by your food tracking app, this is your episode.

We mock the Victorians for their corsets. The fainting. The deformed ribs. The compressed organs.How barbaric, we think. Thank God we’ve evolved.And then we strap on a waist trainer and call it “shaping.”In this episode, I’m walking through the modern torture devices—the wraps, the trainers, the vibration plates, and yes, the surgeries that remove organs rather than examine thoughts. Nothing has changed. We just have better marketing.In this episode:* Waist trainers: corsets with Instagram accounts* Body wraps and the lie of “melting inches”* Vibration plates: the $500 illusion of effort* Gastric surgery: when we’d rather remove organs than examine beliefs* Why surgery doesn’t reset the thermostat eitherIf this resonates:If you’ve ever considered an extreme intervention, this episode might save you from a painful mistake.

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.
