193// If Intuitive Eating Makes You Gain Weight - This Is Why
Tue Jan 13 2026
If every time you “stop dieting” and try intuitive eating you gain weight - this episode is for you.
You’re not broken.
Your body isn’t “meant” to be heavier.
And intuitive eating isn’t supposed to feel out of control.
In this episode, I explain why intuitive eating often leads to weight gain — especially for chronic dieters — and why most advice online misses the real cause.
You’ll learn:
Why intuitive eating coaches, weight loss coaches, and body image coaches often contradict each other — and how that creates confusion
Why stopping dieting can spike anxiety and trigger weight gain
How chronic dieting dysregulates hunger and fullness hormones
Why your body is actually the most accurate calorie counter that exists
How stress, trauma, and emotional suppression increase appetite — often without you realizing it
Why “I’m not an emotional eater” doesn’t mean emotions aren’t affecting your weight
The difference between mindful eating and somatic eating
Why Ozempic works — and why most people regain weight when they stop
How beliefs, identity, and subconscious programming influence hunger
Why weight regain isn’t a willpower issue — it’s a regulation issue
How to change your weight set point, not just lose weight temporarily
Why maintenance — not weight loss — is the real challenge most people face
I also share my own story of losing 30 pounds, keeping it off for years, and helping clients regulate their appetite without dieting, restriction, or medication.
This episode is about losing weight smarter — not harder — by addressing the real root causes behind hunger, fullness, and rebound weight gain.
If intuitive eating makes you gain weight, it doesn’t mean intuitive eating “doesn’t work.”
It means:
Your appetite hormones are dysregulated
Your nervous system hasn’t been retrained yet
Your beliefs and conditioning around food haven’t been rewired
