On this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I’m digging into one of the most relentless companions on a weight loss journey… food noise. You know, that constant chatter in your head about what you should eat, shouldn’t eat, when you should eat, or how guilty you feel after eating. We’re talking about quieting that noise, observing it without judgment, and learning how to gradually turn down the volume so it doesn’t rule your day.

I share practical strategies for taking the edge off food noise, starting with the most tactical one of all—making sure you’re eating enough and not waiting too long between meals. I also explain why fiber, water, and fruits and veggies can be your best allies for feeling fuller and calmer around food thoughts.

But food noise isn’t just about meals and snacks. It’s deeply connected to how you talk to yourself, the rules you think you’re supposed to follow, and the emotional history tied to your relationship with food. I’ll walk you through how to journal your “shoulds” versus your “realities,” observe your self-talk, and notice how your environment or social media triggers cravings you didn’t even know were there.

This episode is all about combining the logical and the emotional sides of managing food noise. It’s not about banishing those thoughts overnight but building skills and self-compassion to navigate them over time. And remember, everything ties back to the inside/out approach… working on your relationship with yourself is what helps you calm the chatter in the long run.

If you’ve ever found yourself mid-scroll on social media, suddenly craving a recipe you weren’t even planning to make, or if you’ve wrestled with guilt after eating certain foods, this episode is for you. Tune in and start taking your power back from the noise.
