How a Busy Mom of 3 Finally Lost Weight After Slim Fast, Weight Watchers, and Keto Didn’t Work For Her

“Food has been my hiding place and comfort for so long.”

“The physical weight that I was hanging onto is a result of the mental burden that I’ve been carrying for many, many years.”


That’s just two quotes from this powerful episode. Today you’re going to hear incredible weight loss wisdom and truth bombs from a mom of 3 who went from emotional eating and comfort foods to losing weight and finding peace with food and her body. 


If you’re sick of diets, and weight loss programs that aren’t sustainable, and all of the false promises from the diet industry, trust me - Karen knows how you feel. Everytime she lost weight, she was (in her words) “cranky, hungry, and angry.” Her life revolved around food and it just wasn’t worth it. 


Karen lost weight with other programs, but they didn’t teach her to address what was going on inside. 


Then, after working out for a year without losing weight, then she began changing her brain and changing her perspective on food and finally started seeing weight loss results.


Here are just a few quotes and snippets of what we discussed on this episode . . .


  • Feeling betrayed by the diet industry
  • Cranky, hungry, and angry with my life revolving around food
  • The difference between short-term weight loss and truly sustainable weight loss
  • False promises from the diet industry - they don’t tell you it’s not sustainable
  • They want to spin everything as an easy, quick fix 
  • Exercise is an outlet and celebration, but shouldn’t necessarily be viewed as a means to losing weight
  • “I was chasing an image that I wasn’t really meant to be”


If you’ve ever tried weight loss programs like Slim Fast, Weight Watchers, keto, or Beachbody, but haven’t found the success you want, then this episode is for you. I can pretty much guarantee you’ll see yourself somewhere in Karen’s story.

About the Podcast

Real Life Weight Loss
Lose Weight. Gain Life.
Welcome to the Real Life Weight Loss Podcast where we cut through the confusion and get down to the truth - down to what really works for REAL people when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off. We're diving into the most doable, sustainable weight loss strategies.

This podcast is all about busy moms, dads, husbands, wives who are working, raising kids, and trying to juggle everything life’s throwing at them … but also want to be the best they can for their family and friends and loved ones.

I’m your host Corey Little, a nutritionist and weight loss specialist with 2 degrees, 3 certifications, and 20 years of experience. I've been a champion bodybuilder with 3% body-fat and I’ve also pigged out at all-you-can-eat buffets and have a deep love of food and enjoying life like crazy! So, I’m not some Nutrition Robot or extremist. I’m a real person just like you who loves the good things in life - friends, family, and all the delicious food that comes with it.

So, make no mistake - this podcast is NOT about how to get six-pack abs or how to drop as much weight as possible in 8 weeks. There’s more to life than abs and there’s more to your body than how much you weigh.

Honestly, weight loss is not really about losing weight … it’s about gaining life! Doing things you never thought you could. Having renewed confidence. And enjoying your body and your health more than ever.

Week by week, I’ll provide bite-sized guidance - 15 to 20 minute episodes that pull back the curtain and reveal the truth about what it takes to lose weight and gain life - what strategy and approach real people are using to get results without giving up their day-to-day life.

And here’s the really cool part …

It’s really not as hard or confusing as you might think.

Changing your body, getting crazy healthy, and demanding success from life is do-able for everyone - and it can be fun - and I’ll show you how.

What’s up! My name's Corey Little.
I’m a down to Earth, real-life, donut-loving, “lose weight while getting away with as much as you can” weight-loss specialist.

When it comes to the world of fitness and nutrition, there isn’t much I haven’t done – from champion bodybuilder with 3% body-fat ... to all-you-can-eat buffets to ... training professional athletes to helping a mom of 3 finally drop that 20 or 30lbs she’s been dying to lose.

I am the voice of reason for the busy mom or dad who’s ready to drop weight and get fit, but doesn’t want to become some Crossfit maniac or join a “Diet Cult.”

I am the trusted guide, walking you through the often intimidating world of trying to figure out which diet or supplement actually works and which is a scam.

If losing weight doesn't fit into your life, then it doesn't work. Practical, realistic, sustainable, LIFE-changing results ... that's how we roll.
