Your body isn’t fighting against you.But if you keep repeating the same cycle — being super strict, losing weight, bingeing, gaining it back and then “starting again Monday” — you’re going to keep getting the same result.In this episode, I talk about why the answer isn’t MORE restriction or trying harder.It’s learning how to reconnect with your body, understand the patterns driving your bingeing, and actually build the tools that allow you to create results you can maintain long-term.Because losing the weight isn’t the hardest part.It’s losing it without having to fight yourself to keep it off.

    Why you NEED to regulate your nervous system to stop binge eating

    If you’ve been trying to stop binge eating by working on your willpower, food or meal plan, you are missing a HUGE piece of the puzzle: your nervous system. In this week’s episode, I’m breaking down why nervous system regulation plays such an important role in breaking the binge cycle — and what’s actually happening in your body when you feel stressed, overwhelmed or completely out of control around food.We talk about the different nervous system responses: Regulation — when you feel safe, calm and connected Fight — irritation, anger, frustration and feeling on edge Flight — anxiety, overthinking, overdoing and needing control Freeze — shutting down, feeling numb or completely stuck Fawn — people-pleasing, struggling with boundaries and putting everyone else firstAnd most importantly, how these patterns can connect to your binge eating.Because when you understand what state you’re in, you can start learning what you actually need in that moment — instead of automatically turning to food for relief.If you want to understand your binge eating on a MUCH deeper level and start changing the pattern rather than just fighting the food, this episode is for you.

    Why gym girls often binge on yoghurt, rice cakes and granola

    NUGGET EPISODE - This short little nugget episode is about why fitness girls and gym girls often binge on “healthy” foods.Because gym girls don’t always binge on Nutella, Biscoff, chocolate, Maltesers, pizza or ice cream.Sometimes they binge on…Rice cakes and honey.Bananas.Dates.Granola.Tubs of yoghurt.Foods that are technically considered “healthy.”But just because you’re bingeing on healthy foods doesn’t mean it isn’t binge eating.And if this is something that’s negatively impacting your life or making you feel out of control around food, then you need to listen to this episode.

    You'll keep BINGING - gaining & losing the same weight, until you do THIS

    If you keep losing the same weight, bingeing, gaining it back and promising yourself you’ll “do better next week”… this episode is for you. In this week’s podcast, I’m breaking down what’s ACTUALLY keeping you stuck in the binge eating cycle - from both a science and nervous system perspective.We talk about why bingeing isn’t simply a lack of willpower, why restricting and “starting again Monday” can keep the cycle going, and how food can become a learned way of coping with stress, overwhelm and uncomfortable emotions.Most importantly, I walk you through the changes you need to start making if you want to break the cycle instead of repeatedly trying harder at the same strategy.If you’re tired of losing and gaining the same weight and feeling like food is constantly controlling you, give this episode a listen.

    Can You Lose Weight AND Stop Binge Eating? Here's Why Most Women Think They Have to Choose.

    You're not binge eating because you don't know what to eat.You're binge eating because your brain learnt that food was the fastest way to escape emotions it never learnt how to process.That's why another meal plan hasn't fixed it.That's why more discipline hasn't fixed it.And that's why so many intelligent, driven, high-achieving women still find themselves losing control around food.Healing binge eating isn't about becoming "better" at dieting.It's about teaching your nervous system that it no longer needs food to cope.Ironically...That's also what makes sustainable weight loss possible.Because when the binges stop...Consistency becomes easy.My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.Read all about The Empowered Woman Program HERE⁠WATCH MY FREE WORKSHOPTake my "how much do you spend on binge eating?"-testRewire your subconscious mind in 10 min with my subconscious rewiring meditations HERE ⁠Remember to SHARE the episode on your story and TAG me so I can say thank you for listening!

    I WANTED to binge - here's why it took me 10+ years to stop it (don't make the same mistakes as me)

    You don't binge because you love food.You binge because somewhere along the way, your nervous system learnt that food was the fastest way to create relief.After coaching thousands of women, I've realised something...Almost none of them have a food problem.They're the women who have spent their whole lives being "the strong one."The overthinker.The people pleaser.The perfectionist.The woman who always puts everyone else first.And when life becomes too much...Food becomes the one place where they finally get a break.That's why another meal plan hasn't worked.That's why more willpower hasn't worked.Because you can't heal a nervous system with another diet.In this week's podcast, I dive into the patterns I've seen across thousands of coaching calls and explain why binge eating isn't your problem...It's your brain's solution to a much deeper one.If you've ever wondered..."Why can I be so disciplined all day and then lose control at night?"This episode is for you. 🤍My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.Read all about The Empowered Woman Program HERE⁠WATCH MY FREE WORKSHOPTake my "how much do you spend on binge eating?"-testRewire your subconscious mind in 10 min with my subconscious rewiring meditations HERE ⁠Remember to SHARE the episode on your story and TAG me so I can say thank you for listening!

    Navigating food noise and binge eating post bodybuilding shows

    If you've ever finished a bodybuilding prep and found yourself thinking about food 24/7, binge eating, or feeling completely out of control... this podcast is for you.In this episode, I explain why post-show food noise isn't a lack of discipline—it's a combination of biology, psychology, and the nervous system trying to recover after months of restriction.We'll cover why you're constantly thinking about food, why binge eating is so common after a show, the biggest mistakes competitors make during prep that set them up for a difficult off-season, and what you can start doing now to build a healthier relationship with food without sacrificing your physique goals.Whether you're currently prepping, approaching show day, or struggling in your off-season, this episode will help you understand what's really happening beneath the surface—and why post-show doesn't create problems, it reveals them.If you want to become the kind of competitor who can thrive both on and off the stage, this episode is for you.

    Stop binge eating AND lose weight - it is possible to do both

    One of the biggest lies the diet industry has ever sold us is this:"You need to fix your binge eating first... then you can think about losing weight."Or the opposite..."Just lose the weight first and your relationship with food will sort itself out."Neither is true.In this episode, I'm explaining why you can stop binge eating and lose 5–10kg at the same time.In fact...For most women, they're impossible to separate.Because binge eating isn't what keeps the weight on.The binge–restrict cycle does.Every Monday you start another diet.Every Friday you're exhausted from trying to be "good."Every weekend you binge.Then Monday starts all over again.It's not the binge that's the problem.It's everything happening before it.In this episode, I explain: Why restriction is actually making it harder to lose weight. Why food noise has to be addressed if you want lasting fat loss. How calming your nervous system makes healthy eating feel effortless. Why my clients lose weight because they stop fighting food—not despite it.You don't have to choose between food freedom and the body you want.When you fix the root cause, both happen together. Listen now!And if you've ever thought..."I need to lose weight first before I can work on my relationship with food."This episode might completely change the way you see your journey.

    I broke my all or nothing mindset so I could go on a holiday without weight gain

    I broke my all-or-nothing mindset so I could go on holiday… without gaining weight.Because for years, every trip looked the same:Eat everything because "I'm on holiday."Feel guilty.Promise to be stricter when I got home.Come back heavier, bloated, and frustrated.The problem wasn't the holiday.It was the story I was telling myself.That I had to be either: Perfect and disciplinedor Completely off track.Once I stopped putting food into those two categories, everything changed.I could enjoy the wine.Eat the pasta.Have dessert.And then just move on.No guilt.No food hangover.No "I'll start again Monday."Because balance isn't eating salads on holiday.It's being able to enjoy yourself without feeling like you've failed.

    Why high-achieving women struggle with binge eating

    If you’re a high-achieving woman who feels like every other area of her life is "controlled", but you can't stop binging - this episode is for you.Most people think binging is about a lack of willpower. But it actually goes much deeper. It’s a survival pattern born from a childhood where you felt you had to earn love and suppress your needs.When you grow up feeling like comfort, attention, or safety could be taken away at any moment, your nervous system learns one rule: Get it while you can.Now, as an adult, your body uses food as a way to self-soothe because it doesn't yet know how to feel safe in the quiet. You aren't "broken" - you’re just regulated by a system that’s still in survival mode.It’s time to stop the "start over Monday" madness and start building the emotional safety you were deprived of.Comment PODCAST below and I'll send you this episodeMy Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.⁠Book in a free call with me

    Why so many high-achieving women struggle with binge eating AND attracting narcissistic partners

    Why do so many high-achieving women struggle with binge eating AND attract narcissistic partners?And why does it feel so hard to leave and end this cycle, even when you KNOW the relationship (or food) is hurting you?In this episode, we’re diving deep into:• Trauma bonds• The “I’m not good enough” wound• Why narcissistic relationships feel addictive• How perfectionism and people-pleasing fuel the cycle• And why binge eating often shows up alongside toxic relationshipsBecause this is not just about “choosing the wrong men.”So many women unconsciously recreate relationship dynamics that feel familiar to their nervous system.If you grew up feeling like love had to be earned,If you became the “good girl,” the fixer, the over-achiever,If your self-worth became tied to performance and validation,You are far more likely to tolerate emotionally unavailable, manipulative, or narcissistic partners.Not because you’re weak.Because your nervous system learned that chasing love feels normal.And the same wound that keeps you stuck in toxic relationships - often fuels binge eating too.My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.⁠Book in a free call with me ⁠WATCH MY FREE WORKSHOPTake my "how much do you spend on binge eating?"-testRewire your subconscious mind in 10 min with my subconscious rewiring meditations HERE ⁠Remember to SHARE the episode on your story and TAG me so I can say thank you for listening!

    Why You’re Binging After Your Body Building Show (And What To Do About It)

    You didn’t suddenly lose your discipline the day after your show.You didn't become "lazy," and you didn't "break." After months of extreme restriction, rigid structure, and total control, your system is in a state of Biological Debt. Your brain isn't trying to sabotage you; it’s trying to save you.When the food noise hits a fever pitch,When you can’t stop scrolling through food posts,When you swing from "Stage Ready" to "Out of Control" in 48 hours, That is not a failure of character. It is a physiological response.It’s your body trying to restore balance. It’s your brain chasing the dopamine that disappeared the moment you stepped off stage. And it’s a nervous system that has been in "fight or flight" for so long it has forgotten how to feel safe.In this latest podcast episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on:•The biological "why" behind post-show binges.•The Dopamine Crash: Why food noise feels like a physical scream right now.•The Real Fix: What actually works when "just be more disciplined" fails.Willpower won't fix a dysregulated nervous system.

    Why You Feel Guilty When You Try to Change (And How This Is Driving Your Binge Eating)

    You’re not bingeing because you lack discipline.You’re bingeing because your body is trying to feel safe.And the moment you try to change - eat more, rest, stop the binge, you feel guilty.So you think:“I must be doing something wrong”But guilt isn’t a red flag, it’s a sign you’re doing something differentYour nervous system cares about what’s familiar, not what’s right.So if restriction and bingeing are familiar, healing WILL feel uncomfortable at first.This is why you keep going back to old patterns.Not because you’re broken.But because your body hasn’t learned it’s safe yet My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.⁠Book in a free call with me ⁠WATCH MY FREE WORKSHOPTake my "how much do you spend on binge eating?"-testRewire your subconscious mind in 10 min with my subconscious rewiring meditations HERE ⁠Remember to SHARE the episode on your story and TAG me so I can say thank you for listening!

    Why Competing And Dieting Changes Your Relationship With Food - And How To Fix It

    Competing doesn’t just change your body, it changes your relationship with food.During prep, everything becomes controlled, tracked, and earned, and you unknowingly train your brain to see food as either “good” or “bad.”So when prep ends and you try to eat normally again, it doesn’t feel relaxed — it feels confusing, guilty, and out of control.That’s not a lack of discipline, it’s conditioning.And if you don’t fix it, you’ll carry it into every prep and off-season.In this episode I break down why this happens and how to actually build a healthy, stable relationship with food so you can last in this sport.

    FMG Pro Katie Alexander - Imposter syndrome and food noise post show, and how to come back better than ever

    This episode is for the competitor who stepped off stage,and didn’t recognise herself anymore.I sat down with FMG Pro and my client Katie, and we had a raw, honest conversation about the side of bodybuilding no one prepares you for.Not prep.Not peak week.But what happens after.We spoke about:• losing your identity post-show• imposter syndrome when you've won that crown• food noise that won’t switch off• bingeing and feeling out of control• and the guilt around putting yourself firstBecause for so many competitors, the hardest part of bodybuilding isn’t getting stage lean,It’s coming back from it.When the structure disappears.When the validation quiets down.When your body changes faster than your mind can keep up.And suddenly you’re asking:“Who am I without prep?”“Why do I feel so out of control?”“Why does food feel louder than ever?”This episode isn’t just about Katie’s journey.It’s about what happens when your identity is built around being “the disciplined one”and how to rebuild that identity in a way that actually lasts.Because longevity in this sport doesn’t come from just having the best physique.It comes from having the mindset and support to navigate everything that happens off stage.If you’ve ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or like an imposter post-show…🎧 Listen now — (and send it to a competitor who needs to hear this 💗)Katie's IG: katiealexanderrMy Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.⁠Book in a free call with me ⁠WATCH MY FREE WORKSHOPTake my "how much do you spend on binge eating?"-testRewire your subconscious mind in 10 min with my subconscious rewiring meditations HERE ⁠Remember to SHARE the episode on your story and TAG me so I can say thank you for listening!

    Post body building-Show Blues, Food Noise & Avoiding the Binge Spiral

    All 1:1 clients can find the workbook to this episode in the portalIf you’re prepping for a bodybuilding show…this episode might be the most important one you listen to all season.Because most competitors spend months preparing their physique…but almost no one prepares for what happens after the stage.The post-show phase is where a lot of athletes quietly lose the sport.Not because they lack discipline.But because no one taught them how to handle:The next-day bluesExtreme hungerFood noiseBody changesOr the all-or-nothing mindset that turns one meal into a binge.And here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear:If you wait until after your show to start working on your mindset around food…it’s already much harder.Because post-show you’re dealing with:Elevated hunger hormonesA dysregulated nervous systemMonths of restriction catching up with youAnd an identity that’s been tied to being stage lean.That’s not the moment to start learning emotional regulation.That’s the moment those skills are being tested.In this episode I talk about:• how to handle the day-after-show guilt and shame• how to deal with food urges without spiralling• why food noise happens after prep• how to enjoy off-plan food without the “I’ve blown it” mindsetBecause champions aren’t just the athletes who can suffer the most during prep.They’re the ones who can stay stable after the show.And that’s what creates longevity in the sport.

    Why Binge Eating Thrives in Isolation — and How Connection Heals.

    You can’t heal what you keep hiding.For years, I thought if I just had more willpower, I could fix my binge eating on my own.I didn’t tell anyone. I thought no one would understand.And every time I promised myself, “This is the last time,”I found myself back in the same cycle — alone, ashamed, and starting over again on Monday.But here’s what I learned…👉 Binge eating thrives in isolation.Because the shame, secrecy, and hiding?That’s what keeps your nervous system in survival mode.You’re not binging because you’re broken —you’re binging because your body is craving safety and connection.And as long as you keep trying to “handle it alone,”you’ll keep repeating the same pattern.Healing starts the moment you stop hiding.The moment you let yourself be seen — messy, imperfect, and human.Because binge eating grows in isolation,but healing? Healing happens in connection. 💗My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.
