‘I’m A 44-Year-Old Mother And Lost 30kg In 6 Months With A Simple Change Anyone Can Do’
It takes just 10 minutes!
Rachael Sacerdoti from London saw her scale going over 90kg nearly a year after giving birth. She was 44 and decided that she saw the need to work on her weight that began causing her physical pain. And six months later, the mom is sharing how she cut off 30kg with these simple changes.
After 6 months of diet change, Rachael Sacerdoti, a 44-Year-Old Mother, lost 30kg.
Rachel was losing 1kg a week since she changed her diet and started taking walks around her block for 10 minutes every morning. She shared with Femail, “I’ve really struggled with food my whole life, I had no education about what balanced meals were or how to cook for myself.”
“I had extremely bad food habits and lived on carbs and sugar. None of my meals had protein, and I was constantly snacking on white bread, jam, and fried foods,” added the woman who also admitted to eating anytime she felt like it.
“My brother was worried and told me I had to change my mindset and look out for myself – I always burnt myself out by trying to do too much and failing.”
Rachel was never patient enough to see her effort in weight loss come true in the past and finally realized it would take more than an instant to see the results.
“I wanted everything to be immediate, and it took until I was almost 40 to realise I had a long road ahead of me,” Rachel admitted. “I started in my bedroom, my safe space, and the progress was really slow but I started noticing a change in how I moved and ate.”
“I fell in love with the routine and eating well – I lost 30kg in about six months and I loved the way I looked. My confidence came back, I developed a real sense of myself and what I wanted out of my life.”
And with her changing her lifestyle, she’s also become a positive influence on her little ones, “My kids ate what I did – a lot of junk and sugar – but my family has turned over a new leaf now.”
“Our diet is more protein-focused and we don’t rely on processed or frozen foods as much. It’s mostly homemade and healthy.”
“I want my kids to know about nutrition and balance – and for them to realise when they’ve had too many lollies or chips. They’re allowed to eat everything in moderation – I’d never dream of taking chocolates away from them.”
Rachel also learned to pay more attention to the type of carbs she’s buying, like switching to “good carbs” quinoa, brown rice, sweet potato, or whole meal bread.
She also started to enjoy chickpea and lentil pasta more. And for protein, the choice is wide from chicken and eggs to Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and tofu. Vegetables additionally help her feel fuller.
She added, “I really didn’t want to feel like I was on a diet or that I had to eat tiny portions.”
What started as a 10-minute walk every morning became her passion. She started hitting the gym.
And she inspired her friends and family members with her results! Rachel achieved her goals by 2020 and worked on helping others stay in shape during the lockdown. It started as a group chat and with so many interested, she started her wellness program.
“My friends were really concerned about the gyms closing and didn’t know how they’d be able to stay on top of their routines – this is when they asked me to help them and show them how I changed my figure.”
“When I reached about 20 women, I created a business plan and focused on helping other people. I now offer a wellness program that is a mix of fitness, nutrition, and accountability – and it’s truly been the most gratifying thing.”
