Stuck in the Yo-Yo Diet Cycle?

If you keep losing weight… and gaining it back…
it may not be about willpower.

It may be emotional.

Whether your struggle intensified after pregnancy, during menopause, through stress, or after years of dieting — the pattern can change.

Recognising the Pattern

  • You start motivated… then something derails you.

  • You know what to eat, but in the moment emotions take over.

  • Stress, boredom, loneliness or overwhelm trigger eating.

  • Hormonal changes made weight loss harder.

  • You’ve lost weight before… but slowly regained it.

  • You feel frustrated and tired of starting over.

 

You are not lazy.
You are not broken.

​

You may simply be caught in an emotional regulation loop.

Watch this short video to understand why willpower isn’t the issue.

Why Diets Haven't Worked Long Term

Most programs focus on food rules and exercise plans.
 

But if food has become:

  • Comfort

  • Relief

  • Reward

  • Distraction

  • Protection


Then no meal plan can fix that long term.

 

Especially during life transitions like:
 

  • Menopause

  • Post-pregnancy

  • Relationship stress

  • Career shifts

  • Caring for others

  • Burnout
     

When emotional load increases, so does emotional eating.
 

Until the emotional driver shifts, the cycle repeats.

A Different Approach

Addressing the Emotional Root

I use EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) — a research-informed method that helps regulate the nervous system and reduce the emotional intensity behind cravings and self-sabotage.
 

Instead of fighting yourself,
we calm the emotional charge at the root.
 

Clients often experience:
 

  • Reduced cravings

  • Less urgency around food

  • Improved emotional regulation

  • Greater self-trust

  • Sustainable behavioural change
     

This is not another diet.
 

It’s deeper pattern work.

If this resonates with you, let’s explore it.

Who This Is For

This free call is for women who:
 

  • Have struggled with yo-yo dieting or weight cycling

  • Feel stuck in emotional eating patterns

  • Want lasting change — not another reset

  • Are open to addressing the emotional layer

  • Are ready to stop blaming themselves
     

It is not for someone looking for a strict meal plan or quick fix.

What Happens on the Call

In this 15-minute call, we will:
​

  • Clarify what’s keeping you stuck

  • Identify possible emotional triggers

  • See whether EFT is the right fit

  • Discuss next steps if appropriate
     

No pressure.
No obligation.
Just clarity.

More reflections from clients who’ve worked through emotional eating and cravings:

"I’d like to recommend working with Michal.
I used to feel uncontrollable craving in the evenings for dried figs. It didn’t matter how much I ate for dinner; it wasn’t about hunger. I felt like I was on autopilot, finding myself snacking without even thinking. Even when I promised myself that I’d only have one or two pieces, I always ended up eating way too much... sometimes even half a packet.
Afterwards, I would feel guilty and angry with myself and I hated it, but I just couldn’t seem to stop.

I worked with Michal on this craving issue just over two years ago, and to my complete surprise, I cleared it and it never came back. I'm so delighted and I highly recommend working with her."

When emotional patterns are addressed at the root, change becomes steadier — and more sustainable.
