Have you ever thought, “ok I get the whole normal eater thing and I want to be a normal eater... but I still want to lose weight”?
Like, you’re totally on board with the idea of dropping diet rules, but you also don’t want to drop your goals? You want to trust yourself and see the scale move, but part of you still wonders, “Can I really have both?”
Because it feels like the moment you start caring about the number on the scale again, you’ve somehow betrayed your new, chill, “normal eater” self. Or on the flip side, if you don’t think about weight loss, you worry you’re giving up on your goals. And that can feel confusing. It’s like your brain doesn’t know how to want progress without turning it into another diet. So how do you find that middle ground — where you’re not obsessing, but you’re also not pretending the scale doesn’t exist?
If that’s where you are right now, this episode is for you.
This episode is the sister episode to our last one, “How to Go from a Dieter to a Normal Eater.” In that episode, we talked about the shift from following rules to making choices — how the big difference isn’t about food, it’s about how you think about food. You learned that dieters follow rules, while normal eaters make choices.
how normal eaters think about food, how they handle overeats, and how they make maintenance feel livable.
Today, we’re building on that. Because once you’ve learned to eat like a normal eater, the next question becomes, “How do I keep that mindset while still wanting results?”
In this episode, we’ll cover:
- how to stop thinking in diet rules and start thinking in results,
- how to treat your eating habits like an experiment instead of an exam,
- and how to lose weight in a calm, confident way that doesn’t undo all the progress you’ve made in trusting yourself.
As well as how to finally stop asking, “Am I doing this right?” and start asking, “What’s working for me?”
So if you’re ready to build on what we started last week and learn how to be a normal eater who still sees results,you’re in the right place. We’re bringing science, sanity, and a sprinkle of sass to the scale today.
Let’s go!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
