Effective Weight Loss for Moms | Strength Training, Lose Weight, Meal Planning, Healthy Recipes, Fat Loss
Hey Mamma! Do you struggle to lose weight but you’re so overwhelmed by the conflicting information out there you don’t know where to start? Is it hard to stay motivated with building consistent exercise and healthy eating routines in the chaos of your busy working mom life? Are you exhausted by trying random online workouts and not seeing any progress? Do you wish you had the time to prioritize yourself AND take care of your family well? You’re in the right place. Welcome to the Effective Weight Loss for Moms podcast, where you will learn how to lose weight and finally feel confident in your own skin through simple strength training routines. Hey, I’m Rachel. A mom of 5, follower of Jesus, Registered Dietitian, and Certified Personal Trainer. After my 3rd baby, I found that my postpartum body was holding onto excess weight (especially in my belly!), despite doing everything I’d done in the past to try and lose weight. Eating less, lots and lots of cardio, desperate fad diets - nothing worked - and my confidence took a big hit as a result. I realized that I needed to do things differently in this new stage of life, and discovered the power of strength training! I needed a simple, effective workout that fit my busy mom life that didn’t take forever in the gym! I stopped focusing on only cutting calories, dropped the insane cardio workouts, and started fueling my body like the athlete I was! For the first time, I was able to be consistent with my strength training routine. I got stronger, lost the excess pounds, and finally felt confident again! And now I can’t wait to share everything I’ve learned with you! If you’re ready to lose fat, build muscle, build confidence, and enjoy working out with a routine that fits your life as a busy mom - then this podcast is for you! Get off that elliptical machine, grab your protein shake, and let’s start getting some RESULTS! *Disclaimer: Your health is your responsibility.

Hey Mamma!
I remember a time when I used to plan meals on the fly. I distinctly remember sitting at a stoplight after work on my way to the store, trying to make my grocery list.
Read that again:
At a stoplight.
On the way to the store.
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
So...no judgment from me if you aren't fully on top of your meal planning game!!
While we want to have our meals planned, we also want them to be effective.
To actually work for us.
Effective meal planning moves the needle nutritionally to help us reach our weight loss goals while being able to feed our families.
For it to do that, we have to understand some foundational truths about meal planning. I talk about them in detail in today's episode:
Effective meal planning requires:
Priority & Intention
A System
Strategy
Awareness
Practice
When there's a breakdown in any of these key areas, the results are usually lack of consistency with the eating plan which leads to....lack of results.
So honing in on these areas and refining your meal planning can really help you get results!
How is your meal planning going? Is it effective? Is it moving the needle in the direction you want with your physical goals?
If yes...wonderful!!!
If no....do you want some help?
In my 12 week one-on-one coaching program, I can help you with meal planning (& your workouts as well!).
In my program, I teach my students how to create a recipe system, how to design their meal plans with their nutritional goals in mind, and I work with them on this in a hands on way.
Imagine having a Registered Dietitian review your meal plans every week and help you tweak things!
Imagine how much time you'd save by having me help you reach your goals versus trying to duct-tape something together yourself with no support!
I want to invite you to work with me in my coaching program. You CAN do this, but you can get there much faster with my help.
What do you say to letting me help you?
