In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast, I’m talking about trigger foods and how to finally take back control from them. Most of us have certain foods that we say we can’t be around or keep in the house. They’ve been labeled as “bad foods,” and the second we eat them we feel out of control. That tug of war leads to guilt, frustration, and the cycle of banning those foods until the next time we give in.

But what if instead of avoiding those foods, you learned how to handle them? My approach is simple, but it works. I want you to take the biggest trigger food you have and eat it every single day. Not in secret, not in shame, but as a deliberate choice. Over time, the emotional pull weakens, and you’re left with the ability to choose that food without it controlling you.

Along with this practice, I encourage you to keep some structure in place. Eat your regular meals with produce at each one, drink water consistently, and designate a specific “trigger time” where you practice eating that food. This way, you’ll not only build confidence around eating but also remind yourself that you’re still following habits that support your long-term goals.

This is about ending the mental tug of war. Instead of letting overeating reinforce the belief that you can’t control yourself, you’ll flip the script. By bringing the food into your life intentionally, you’ll retrain your mindset to see that it’s just food. You can eat it, enjoy it, and move on without guilt.

If you’re ready to reinforce this inside/out approach daily, you can start with this podcast and my daily email. And if you want more personalized guidance, join The YLF Experience, my hybrid coaching program that combines the best of one-on-one and group coaching while filling in the gaps that most programs miss.
