Helping women break free from diet culture
Nutrition is simple. Diet culture makes it waaayyyy harder than necessary. I help you cut through the BS and learn what really matters...whether you are trying to lose weight for the umpteenth time or just trying to be healthier overall.
hey there, friend!
I'm Jen Holmes
NUTRITION COACH
In 2017 I lost nearly 30 lbs in about 4 months on a very popular weight loss program. Then the program changed its rules and suddenly, although the foods I ate didn't change, I was no longer meeting the parameters of the program. I believe that it was the visual confirmation that I wasn't meeting parameters that ultimately messed with my mindset and prompted me to fall back into old eating habits. Within 2 years I had gained back 50 lbs - 20 more than I lost to start with!
That's not the first time that I lost some weight just to gain back more when I stopped following the program - but it WAS the last time. I tried to follow other plans and even went back to this "successful" one and nothing would stick for more than a few days. Eventually I gave up and quit actively trying to lose weight.
After the pandemic I started studying nutrition in my spare time, thinking maybe if I understood it better then maybe I could at least lose a little weight again. This ultimately led me to the decision to become a certified nutrition coach, so that I could help other women like myself get off of the yo-yo diet cycle and into something sustainable for life.
