The go-to podcast for moms trying to lose weight by changing habits instead of doing restrictive diets!
Do you dread seeing yourself in photos? Is getting dressed for date night a struggle because nothing fits? Are you tired of not feeling like yourself since having babies?
Do you struggle with consistency and want to lose weight in a sustainable way that fits your busy lifestyle but still lets you enjoy your favorite foods? Are you sick eating healthy and working out just to see the same number on the scale over and over?
If any of these sound like you, you’re in the right place. Welcome to Sustainable Weight Loss for Moms!
This podcast is all about simple, sustainable weight loss strategies that actually fit into your life—because let’s be honest, if it’s not realistic, it’s not happening. We teach science-based weight loss with a real-life approach that will help you transform your mindset, metabolism, and movement through simple habit changes, so you not only lose weight but also keep it off. Not only that, you’ll have more energy, feel better in your skin again, and have an improved relationship with food and your body.
Hey, I’m Lainey— weight loss dietitian and mom of four boys. After having my third and fourth babies, I desperately desired to lose the belly fat and fit back in my clothes but had no interest in restrictive diets (plus I knew they didn’t work after working with hundreds of women to help them lose weight). I finally cracked the code by shifting my mindset to focusing on what to add, not what to take away.
No tracking, no starving, no all-or-nothing thinking—just smart habits, efficient workouts, and a mindset shift that changed everything. Now, I help moms like you do the same.
Grab your coffee (because let’s be real, we need it), and let’s chat about how to burn fat, get strong, and feel confident again—without giving up chocolate or counting every calorie. Sustainable weight loss starts here!

11: How to Eat Carbs and Still Lose Weight as a Busy Mom
Ever told yourself, “I’m cutting carbs starting Monday”—only to find yourself elbow-deep in a bag of pretzels by 3 p.m.?
You’re not alone. Carbs have been blamed for weight gain for decades, but what if the real issue isn’t the carbs... it’s the type, the portion, and what you’re pairing them with?
In this episode, I'm breaking down everything you actually need to know about carbs and weight loss.
If you’ve ever felt confused about good vs. bad carbs, wondered if bread is “off limits,” or tried going low-carb only to feel moody, tired, and snacky... this one’s for you.
I’m diving into the science (in a non-boring way) to help you stop fearing carbs and start understanding how to eat them in a way that supports sustainable weight loss.
You’ll learn:
What carbs are and the different types: simple vs. complex, sugar, starch, fiber
Why cutting carbs leads to quick weight loss—and why it doesn’t last
What actually happens in your body when you eat carbs (blood sugar, insulin, fat storage, oh my)
What balancing your blood sugar actually means
Which carbs support weight loss (and which ones may be stalling it)
How to eat carbs and lose weight by pairing them with the right nutrients
This episode will help you stop the carb confusion, eat foods you love, and finally feel in control around the bread basket. Ready? Let’s go.
