  • Summary

  • 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.

    76| Dreaming Of Weight Loss? Why More Cardio Isn't The Answer And What To Do Instead
    Nov 18 2024

    When I was in college, I got into distance running with my roommate. I had always struggled with carrying my extra fat around my midsection, and when I started training, I remember thinking I would be soooo skinny after I finished the half-marathon I signed up for.

    Before the race, one of my high school friends I hadn't seen in years called me up and we were chatting about the race. I'll never forget when she asked me if I was "super skinny" now with all that running.

    Hmmmm. I realized I looked the same as I always had.

    Now, it's not all about looks of course, but if you want the fat off your midsection, you want your program to be effective, right? And mine clearly wasn't.

    Ironically, that didn't make me question cardio for weight loss...at that point.

    And I'm not against cardio at all, but I do think by itself it isn't the solution to losing fat.

    I explain why in today's episode, so click below to listen😊

  • 75| Struggling To Eat Enough Protein? 3 Ways To Eat More Protein As A Busy Mom

    75| Struggling To Eat Enough Protein? 3 Ways To Eat More Protein As A Busy Mom
    Nov 11 2024

    Getting enough protein for weight loss and strength training can be a CHALLENGE! Especially if you are a busy mom and just plain eating meals can be a struggle.

    I get it-I remember juggling multiple babies and toddlers at once and there being times when my kids scraps were what I ended up eating. Much less a good source of protein!

    Even if you aren't in that boat right now, getting enough protein can still be a struggle-especially if you are strength training for fat loss.

    Realistically, a good starting point for most women is about 100 grams per day of protein, but this can seem impossible to achieve.

    In today's podcast episode, I share 3 strategies that I use to meet my protein goals (which is about 130-150 grams of protein per day).

    Today's episode goes into detail about these 3 tips, and I hope that these help you meet your protein goals!

    Enjoy!

    Most of us that have ever had a baby notice that we still have a tummy even after delivery.....sometimes a long time after delivery. Some of that is extra fat of course, but some of it is actually a sign of a weak core!

Simple. Down to Earth. Faith. New Hope. Sold!

I have over complicated the fat loss and muscle gaining process so many times. I had just finished 8 weeks of a routine that was not providing results and happened to find Rachel. I re-found my excitement for weightlifting with her very simple guide. I have had issues with emotional eating and binging and overdid the calorie counting so her plate method was the BEST THING I EVER HEARD because it stopped my brain from complicating things and focusing on getting the portions right. Bonus was that my bowels started moving more with all the veggies. I still haven’t lost fat but now I can focus on the issues I find along the way and can keep listening to Rachel’s tips for that too. I am SUPER grateful! Thanks Rachel!!
