Welcome to the Outsmart Overeating Podcast!   I'm Leslie Hooper. A former certified Personal Trainer and Nutritionist turned Emotional & Binge Coach who has helped over 2500 busy women stop compulsive eating and lose weight once and for all.   It wasn't that long ago that I also felt powerless around food, constantly fighting cravings, bouncing up and down the scale, always with a false promise th...

Slow and steady wins the race, but dieters crave fast, fierce, and furious for their weight loss programs.   Instant gratification dominates the mindsets of most dieters. They want quick solutions and quicker results.   Consider what causes you to pursue a long-term project - like writing a book, building a relationship, learning an instrument, etc.   With long-term projects, sooner or later, we n...

I n recent years, walking 10,000-steps-a-day has become the marker for a 'successful' day of movement.   You can barely walk down the street without someone stomping past you wearing a FitBit. It feels like its become a global obsession, despite the fact that 10,000 steps is a completely arbitrary number, that originated from a Japanese marketing campaign in the 60s ahead of the 1964 Tokyo Olympic...

Binge eaters think that they have an 'eating too much food' problem, and this is why they can't lose weight.   And while there is certainly truth to that, it's not the whole story.

Studies show that 88% of women compare themselves to images they observe on social media, with over half of them suggesting it makes them feel worse about themselves.   Unfortuntely, this also contributes to the objectification of bodies, and as a result, bodies on social media are often looked at like objects instead of human bodies given to us as a vessel to explore the planet.   Because humans...

When it smiles in our favor, we're walking on cloud 9 and nothing can bring us down.   When it shows us a number other than the one we want, it can send us into a mental and physical tailspin.   The scale is a neutral device made of plastic and metal...until we attach meaning and our worth to it. When we take a closer look at the amount of power we give it in our lives, neutral is the furthest thi...
