Effective Weight Loss for Moms | High protein, Strength Training, Lose Weight, Meal Planning, Fat Loss, Healthy Habits
Every few months you get back on track. You're eating high protein, you're working out, you're feeling good. And then life happens. And then you're starting over again. You know what to do. You just can't seem to make yourself do it.
You show up for everyone else. You get the kids fed, the lunches packed, the schedules managed — and by the time it's your turn, there's nothing left.
Welcome to the Effective Weight Loss for Moms Podcast, where busy moms learn how to eat high protein consistently, build real strength, and create a healthy routine they can actually keep up — not just for a few weeks, but for good.
Each week I'll show you how to use high protein nutrition (to fuel your workouts), meal planning for real family life, and beginner-friendly strength training to create a healthy lifestyle that actually sticks long term.
Let me introduce myself. I'm Rachel — mom of 5, follower of Jesus, Registered Dietitian, and Certified Personal Trainer. I've spent hours coaching moms through fat loss and strength training, and one big thing they struggle with is this: "I know what to do. I just can't make myself do it."
And they think they just need to be more disciplined.
What if it isn't a willpower or discipline problem at all?
If you're ready to stop surviving on whatever's left after everyone else is fed, start hitting your protein goals, and build a sustainable weight loss plan that fits your actual life, then my friend, you're in the right place.
Grab your protein shake, take a deep breath, and let's do this.

Today's episode is a look into what coaching with me is like, with my amazing client Marcia.
I want you to particularly pay attention to what's not in the coaching-no shame, no restriction, no pressure. I truly believe that when we go slowly and work on small progress goals we create a lifestyle that we can sustain, and that gets us results long-term.
Enjoy!
