If every time you “stop dieting” and try intuitive eating you gain weight - this episode is for you.
You’re not broken.
Your body isn’t “meant” to be heavier.
And intuitive eating isn’t supposed to feel out of control.
In this episode, I explain why intuitive eating often leads to weight gain — especially for chronic dieters — and why most advice online misses the real cause.
You’ll learn:
-
Why intuitive eating coaches, weight loss coaches, and body image coaches often contradict each other — and how that creates confusion
-
Why stopping dieting can spike anxiety and trigger weight gain
-
How chronic dieting dysregulates hunger and fullness hormones
-
Why your body is actually the most accurate calorie counter that exists
-
How stress, trauma, and emotional suppression increase appetite — often without you realizing it
-
Why “I’m not an emotional eater” doesn’t mean emotions aren’t affecting your weight
-
The difference between mindful eating and somatic eating
-
Why Ozempic works — and why most people regain weight when they stop
-
How beliefs, identity, and subconscious programming influence hunger
-
Why weight regain isn’t a willpower issue — it’s a regulation issue
-
How to change your weight set point, not just lose weight temporarily
-
Why maintenance — not weight loss — is the real challenge most people face
I also share my own story of losing 30 pounds, keeping it off for years, and helping clients regulate their appetite without dieting, restriction, or medication.
This episode is about losing weight smarter — not harder — by addressing the real root causes behind hunger, fullness, and rebound weight gain.
If intuitive eating makes you gain weight, it doesn’t mean intuitive eating “doesn’t work.”
It means:
-
Your appetite hormones are dysregulated
-
Your nervous system hasn’t been retrained yet
-
Your beliefs and conditioning around food haven’t been rewired

Should you get rid of clothes that don’t fit — or keep them to stay motivated?
In this episode of the Manifesting Doll Podcast, Barbara Orban from NoDietBabe.com answers a listener question about decluttering clothes that no longer fit and whether letting them go means you’re giving up on your weight loss or manifestation journey.
You’ll learn why manifestation isn’t about forcing yourself to keep “goal clothes” or buying smaller sizes before your body is ready — and why your emotional response matters far more than the physical action you take.
Barbara shares her own experience of permanently releasing 30lbs and explains why, at one point, letting go and reducing resistance was the most aligned step — even though manifestation culture often says you should push harder or “act as if.”
✨ In this episode, we explore:
-
Whether keeping clothes that don’t fit actually helps weight loss
-
Why “goal clothes” can create shame, comparison, and resistance
-
How thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and your nervous system influence weight
-
Why manifestation works best when it feels emotionally safe
-
How acceptance can be a powerful catalyst for change
If your wardrobe brings up sadness, pressure, or self-criticism, this episode will help you understand what your body and subconscious actually need to move forward.

If you’ve tried every diet, struggled with emotional eating, or felt frustrated by your hormones or metabolism, this episode is for you.
I’ll be sharing my journey of losing 30 pounds, overcoming binge eating, and reprogramming my subconscious mind to finally release weight permanently.
We’ll cover:
-
Why your subconscious mind is the true driver of weight loss
-
How dieting and scarcity mindsets actually keep you stuck
-
The role of beliefs, shame, and childhood programming in your relationship with food
-
Why the placebo effect and your body’s physiology prove that manifestation works for weight loss
-
How to shift your vibration to become naturally slim
-
The limiting beliefs that stop manifestation from working for your body
-
A sneak peek into my new course, the Weight Release Limiting Belief Kit, which helps you rewire your subconscious for permanent weight freedom
I also share stories from clients who have completely transformed their bodies, even in their 40s, without dieting or deprivation—just by aligning their energy, beliefs, and vibration.
Whether you’re ready to stop the yo-yo dieting cycle or simply curious about how manifestation applies to your body, this episode will help you start shifting from the inside out.

There’s a common misconception that body positivity promotes obesity. In reality, body positivity is about dignity, autonomy, and self-worth—not about giving up on health.
In this episode, I unpack the truth about body positivity AND reveal a key distinction that explains so much when it comes to manifestation and weight: the difference between vibration and frequency.
Here’s why this matters: you can love yourself (vibration) and still struggle with weight if your frequency is tuned to the identity of someone who is overweight. To manifest lasting change, both your vibration and your frequency need to align.
We’ll explore:
💖 Why shame and criticism don’t motivate weight loss—they increase sabotage
💖 How diet culture conditions us to believe acceptance means “giving up”
💖 The nervous system’s role in autonomy, choice, and safety cues
💖 The science of set point theory, reward pathways, and survival wiring
💖 The metaphysical reasons people hold onto weight—protection, safety, and unprocessed emotions
When you understand vibration vs frequency, it becomes clear why body positivity cannot promote obesity—it actually creates the conditions for transformation.
✨ Autonomy is a high vibration, and when frequency shifts too, your body can finally feel safe to release. ✨
Listen now to reframe body positivity, embody autonomy, and unlock the deeper energetic shifts that allow true transformation.

189// How to Stop Stress From Causing Weight Gain
Tuesday Sep 16, 2025
Tuesday Sep 16, 2025
Can stress really cause weight gain—or is there more going on beneath the surface?
In this episode, I blend manifestation and neuroscience to show you how your nervous system is programmed from a young age, why the ACEs study proves early stress impacts weight struggles later in life, and how chronic stress rewires your brain’s reward system and appetite hormones.
I talk about how stress and childhood programming affect the brain, hormones, and weight set point, and why cortisol alone doesn't tell the whole story.
You’ll discover why stress doesn’t have to cause weight gain when you understand how to reprogram your subconscious mind, and align with the version of you who feels safe, satisfied, and naturally balanced at your ideal weight.
Barbara shares a science-based approach combining neuroscience, neurobiology, quantum physics, psychoneuroendocrinology, psychoneuroimmunology, somatic work, and manifestation techniques to rewire beliefs and nervous system responses so stress no longer drives weight gain, plus next steps for coaching and reprogramming resources.

188// How Your Belief ‘I’m Fat’ Is Literally Making You Gain Weight
Saturday Sep 13, 2025
Saturday Sep 13, 2025
You’ll hear Barbara explain how the belief “I’m fat” becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that wires both the subconscious mind and body to hold onto or gain weight. She blends manifestation principles with science to show that weight loss isn’t just about diet and exercise—it’s about identity, beliefs, and subconscious programming.
🔑 Key Points Barbara Explains
-
Beliefs Shape Reality
-
The subconscious mind is largely programmed between ages 0–7.
-
Growing up in diet culture, many internalize “I’m fat” even when at a healthy weight.
-
This identity becomes a vibration that manifests into actual weight struggles.
-
-
The Patriarchal Roots of Body Image
-
Women especially were taught their value lies in looks.
-
From the 70s through 2000s, societal ideals equated underweight with beauty.
-
Many women believed they were “fat” simply for not being underweight, fueling lifelong weight issues.
-
-
Science Proves the Belief Becomes Reality
-
Barbara cites longitudinal studies (14,000 participants in the US/UK) showing that perceiving yourself as overweight—even when not—predicts future weight gain.
-
This disproves the idea that shaming or labeling oneself overweight helps with weight loss.
-
-
Identity Creates Weight
-
When you embody the “I’m fat” identity, you unconsciously align your habits, emotions, and biology with that belief.
-
Shame and guilt around food magnify the problem, driving binge eating, anxiety, and body image struggles.
-
-
Rewiring Is Possible
-
Neuroplasticity shows you can reprogram beliefs at any stage.
-
Shifting identity from “I’m fat” → “I’m naturally slim” changes your vibration and behaviors without force.
-
Barbara explains why body positivity and self-compassion are key to healing, not shame.
-
💡 Takeaway Barbara Gives
Weight struggles aren’t simply about calories or willpower. They’re deeply tied to subconscious beliefs and identity. Believing “I’m fat” wires your reality toward more weight gain. The solution, as Barbara explains, is to rewire the subconscious, heal body image, release shame, and embody a new identity aligned with your ideal weight.

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most misunderstood truths about weight:
👉 Your body is not a machine.
It's not just calories in, calories out — it's a living, responsive, neurobiological system.
If you've been doing everything "right" — eating clean, tracking your food, meditating, maybe even doing vagus nerve exercises — and still feel like your body is stuck or resisting weight loss… this episode will explain why.
We’ll dive into:
-
What neurobiology actually means and how it influences your weight
-
Why your body stores weight even when you’re not eating more
-
How dieting and restriction wire your nervous system to see food and weight as threats
-
The real science behind leptin resistance, cortisol, vagal tone, and emotional suppression
-
Why disconnecting from your body’s signals is a protection pattern — not a personal failure
-
How to begin healing, rewiring, and reconnecting so your body feels safe enough to release what it no longer needs
This episode is for the woman who’s ready to stop controlling and start healing — because sustainable weight loss starts when your nervous system finally feels safe.
