Since meeting my partner (about four years ago), I gained about 25 'happiness' pounds and just couldn't figure out a sustainable way to shake them off. It took seeing photos of me at my pre-wedding City Hall vows to realize that a serious change needed to happen if I were to get back to a healthy (and comfortable) weight before my ceremony in Greece. I found Rachel online and was instantly drawn to her approach on re-framing relationships to food and the habits that go alongside it. It wasn't about 'dieting' per say, or about eliminating everything tasty, but rather becoming aware of my triggers and existing behaviors - as well as breaking down my existing beliefs and associations with healthy eating. After 4 months of working with Rachel (from weekly check-ins, engaging readings, and goal setting), I dropped 15 pounds and felt confident and beautiful in my dream wedding dress. More importantly, Rachel has empowered me with the tools and habits that can keep my new found healthy eating and lifestyle going post wedding (even after all that delicious honeymoon food and wines!). I would recommend Rachel to those looking to make a long term change in how they eat and feel, and are looking to be held accountable and supported by someone who is available and willing to respond to questions as they arise in real-time!

reached out to Rachel about 2 months before my wedding. I had sort of lost my way nutrition wise and was just not feeling my best. I did not have a ton of weight to lose in the grand scheme of things but just could not manage to get there on my own. Rachel helped me develop a plan that I could actually stick to and worked with my likes and dislikes as well as my general lifestyle. The big part for me was the accountability that she provided to make sure I stuck to the plan we agreed on. Rachel's enthusiasm helped me keep on track and made the overall experience of working with her very positive.

After trying so many different diets and workouts to try to lose weight for my wedding, I turned to Rachel. I had only a couple weeks left and I was desperate. Rachel put be on a plan and it was a route I had not tried before. Her plan made sense, I wasn't cutting out foods I enjoy and I felt full and satisfied all day. She was a pleasure to work with and she was a friend to me when I was stressed out in those remaining weeks leading up to the big day. She really thought me a lot about food and my body and how the two need to work together. I felt and looked amazing on my wedding day!

My rave review for Rachel Paul Nutrition:

I had a lot of weight to lose. What I was doing at the time (a weight loss plan with prepackaged meals) simply wasn't working. I didn't really like the food, so I wasn't sticking to it. As a result, I wasn't losing weight and felt like I was stuck in an unhappy, unhealthy rut.

From our first conversation, Rachel was genuinely interested in helping me achieve my goals. She is approachable, friendly, positive, and extremely knowledgeable.

She explained her philosophy to me. Then, we outlined a wide variety of foods I liked and could incorporated into a meal plan. Rachel also taught me how to track what I was eating so I would be accountable for my choices. Because we created options with real foods that I liked and would eat, I started following the plan - and losing weight. If I ever have any questions, I can email or text Rachel and she always responds quickly with helpful information.

I lost over 55 pounds in a year (and I'm still losing weight). Rachel has been my biggest cheerleader along the way. I'm healthier, happier, and have so much more self-esteem. When people ask how I did it, I always tell them about Rachel. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who is interested in losing any amount of weight, whether it's 5 or 50 pounds.

Rachel is also so friendly - anyone would feel comfortable talking to her, and her impressive credentials would also motivate them to follow her advice. She is a pro at providing information to anyone who is looking to improve his or her eating habits. She can also recommend savvy tips and tricks for creating a meal plan on a budget. Rachel has changed my life. I am so grateful for her!
