So you’ve tried to diet your way to control, but instead, you end up feeling more out of control than ever. Why is that? It’s not just about willpower or “falling off track.” Dieting actually dysregulates your entire system — your hunger cues, your emotions, your hormones, even your nervous system. The very rules you’re following are what cause you to swing back and forth on the pendulum: restrict, rebel, repeat. In episode 257 of Fitness & Sushi, we’ll show you why dieting keeps you stuck in chaos, and how to finally break free by learning to stay regulated instead. In this episode — “How Dieting Dysregulates Your Body and Mind (And What to Do Instead)” — you’ll learn… 🔶 What “dysregulation” really means and how it shows up in your nervous system, emotions, and hunger signals 🔶 The hormonal chain reaction that dieting sets off (leptin, cortisol, and why your body craves sugar and carbs) 🔶 How pushing harder in workouts leads to burnout and keeps you stuck in the pendulum swing 🔶 Why a scarcity mindset around food guarantees rebellion, overeating, and loss of control 🔶 The exact pillars that keep you physically, emotionally, and psychologically regulated — Permission, Intention, and Enjoyment 🔶 Why my pendulum metaphor may make you want to clean your ceiling fan 🤦🏻‍♀️ …and much more!

In episode 294 of Fitness & Sushi, we pull back the curtain on one of diet culture’s most damaging exports: The Biggest Loser. What looked like “just TV” was actually cultural programming that rewired a generation of women to believe their worth was tied to shrinking their bodies. Contestants were pushed past the point of safety, trainers used shame and abuse as “motivation,” and viewers absorbed it all as truth. The fallout? Broken metabolisms, broken trust in our bodies, and decades of food and body obsession. In this episode — Fit for TV: How The Biggest Loser Broke Us — and How We Heal — you’ll learn… 🔶 How reality TV exploited fatphobia and turned weight loss into spectacle 🔶 The hidden trauma-bonding tactics behind Jillian Michaels’ “coaching” style 🔶 Why contestants were set up for failure long-term (and what science says about their metabolisms today) 🔶 The systemic harm when entertainment puts profit over people 🔶 How to reframe food, body, exercise, and mind with the Ideal Body Formula so you can finally heal from the same conditioning This wasn’t just bad television — it was abuse disguised as entertainment. But you are not broken, and you never needed saving. Healing is possible, and it starts with reclaiming your dignity, trust, and truth. 👉 When you’re ready, book your free breakthrough call at builtdaily.com/call/ —— When you’re ready, here are more ways we can help you… Read Tony’s Book for Free His book The Ideal Body Formula: How to Ditch Diet Culture and Achieve the NEW Ideal Body is available for you to read 100% free.
