Sharing her personal journey of losing 74 pounds while still enjoying candy bars and chocolate cake, she highlights the importance of shifting from restriction to balance.

    In this episode of How to Eat Cake on a Diet, Jody unpacks one of the most frustrating aspects of eating: cravings. Why do we reach for chips, cookies, and comfort foods even when we know they don’t align with our goals? The answer lies in the intersection of biology, psychology, and the food industry’s engineering of irresistible flavors.

    Jody dives into the science of cravings, explaining concepts like the “bliss point” and dopamine’s role in our brain’s reward system. She also explores the evolutionary hangover that makes us crave calorie-dense foods and how modern food environments amplify those instincts.

    But this episode isn’t about blame or guilt—it’s about understanding the why behind cravings and learning how to work with your body instead of fighting against it. From managing stress and sleep to embracing food neutrality and balancing indulgence with nourishment, Jody shares practical tools to help you break the cycle of overeating and create a healthier relationship with food.

    So, if you’ve ever felt powerless around processed foods or wondered why your cravings feel so strong, this episode will give you the insight and strategies you need to take control without feeling deprived.

    As Jody reminds us: you can still have your cake—just with balance, intention, and a mindset that serves your goals.
