Crowd-It-Out Method

This episode is a bit of a personal one, sparked by a rare upcoming social weekend. As someone who doesn’t get out much these days, when I do—it can get lively. And I’m absolutely fine with that.

What I dive into today is the exact framework I use (and teach my clients) to enjoy these moments without spiralling off track. It’s called the Crowd It Out Method, and it helps make sure that one big night out doesn’t end up writing off your whole weekend—or your progress.

If you’ve ever struggled with guilt around social events or felt like one meal or a few drinks meant you had to start from scratch again, this episode will help you approach things differently.

• [00:00] The rare big weekend—and why it inspired this episode

• [01:30] Why I think social health matters just as much as physical health

• [03:10] Introducing the Crowd It Out Method

• [04:00] Part 1: Before the event – set your intention and prep for the aftermath

• [07:45] Example: what I’m cooking for my hangover day

• [09:00] Part 2: During the event – what works (and doesn’t) for me and my clients

• [13:15] Client win: how Chris lost weight and kept his social life

• [15:10] Part 3: After the event – drawing a line in the sand and bouncing back

• [17:00] Why this process makes you enjoy nights out more, not less

• [18:00] The “after-after” phase and how to rebuild momentum quickly

You can absolutely enjoy social events without ruining your health goals. Planning before, during, and after gives you clarity and control. One event doesn’t define your progress—it’s what happens after that counts. Putting a structure around your social life actually makes it more enjoyable and less stressful

Catch you next time ✌️

You’ve probably seen it on Instagram: “My client lost weight by eating more!”

Sounds sweet, doesn’t it?!

In this episode, I’m calling bullshit on that claim. I break down what’s actually going on behind these stories and explain why you might feel stuck, even when you think you’re doing everything right.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, misled, or caught in the restrict-then-binge cycle, this one’s for you. I’ll help you zoom out, understand what really matters, and take back control of your nutrition.

💡 What I Want You to Take Away:

• These catchy “eat more to lose weight” posts often just mean better adherence—not magic

• Swapping to more filling, whole foods can help you feel like you’re eating more while staying in a deficit

• You don’t need extremes—you need something you can stick to

• You’re not broken. You probably just need a more sustainable approach

Episode Breakdown:

• [00:00] No more apology intros—just cracking on

• [00:40] The viral headline: “Lose weight by eating more” – here’s the reality

• [01:30] Myth 1: You’re not eating more—you’re just not swinging from extremes

• [02:30] Myth 2: You’re eating more volume, not more calories

• [03:45] What calorie density means (in plain English)

• [04:30] Why these claims can mess with your head

• [05:00] How perfectionism leads to the all-or-nothing spiral

• [05:40] Why I coach people to find the middle ground

• [06:30] It’s boring but it works: the power of simple consistency

• [07:00] Wrapping up before I spiral too far off-track
