Hey, I’m Heather. And before you ask – yes, I really did lose 150 pounds. (300 if you count my ex-husband, but that’s a story for another day.)
I Lost 150 Pounds Without Counting a Single Calorie (And You Can Too)
You know that moment when your own grandmother doesn’t recognize you because you’ve gained so much weight? Yeah, that happened to me. I literally thought she had dementia because the alternative – that I was unrecognizable at my own size – was too painful to accept.
But here’s the plot twist: It wasn’t my fault. And if you’ve been struggling with your weight, it’s not your fault either.
The 80s Made Us All Do It (Seriously)
See, while we were all rocking our scrunchies and dancing to Madonna, the diet industry was busy selling us lies. They convinced us that fat was the enemy, calories were everything, and if we just had enough willpower, we’d all look like Jane Fonda.
Spoiler alert: It was all bullshit.
The same decade that gave us MTV and leg warmers also gave us the biggest nutritional scam in history. Thanks to some sketchy science and a sugar industry with deep pockets, we were told to eat low-fat everything while avoiding the very nutrients our bodies actually need.
As Naomi Wolf said in 1991: “Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history.” They wanted us quietly mad and tractable. Well, this rebel ain’t having it.
Why “Rebel Keto” Isn’t Just Another Diet
After finding 99 ways that didn’t work (I’m the Thomas Edison of weight loss, y’all), I stumbled onto something that actually worked: a sustainable version of keto that doesn’t require a math degree or selling your soul to MyFitnessPal.
I call it Rebel Keto because it breaks all the “rules” that have been keeping you trapped:
- No macro obsessing (ain’t nobody got time for that)
- No calorie counting (because your body isn’t a calculator)
- No food shaming (life’s too short to feel guilty about butter)
- No one-size-fits-all BS (because you’re not everyone else)
- No Keto Police (they can kiss my bacon-loving ass)
Pattern Recognition: Your Secret Weapon
Here’s what makes me different from every other “weight loss expert” out there: I teach you to spot the manipulation.
Once you see the patterns in diet culture, you can’t unsee them. And that’s when everything changes. The same BS detector that helps you spot a manipulative diet ad? It works everywhere else in your life too.
I’ve helped thousands of women who were “still here, still fat” become women who are still here, EMPOWERED.
The Real Truth About Sustainable Weight Loss
After 10 years of keeping the weight off (yeah, KEEPING IT OFF), I’ve discovered that lasting weight loss isn’t about perfection – it’s about:
✓ Understanding why the diet industry wants you to fail (repeat customers, baby)
✓ Learning which foods actually satisfy you (spoiler: it’s not rice cakes)
✓ Breaking up with the scale (that lying b*tch)
✓ Recognizing your triggers without turning into your therapist
✓ Creating a sustainable lifestyle that works with your actual life
A Few Things You Should Know About Me
I hate math with the passion of a thousand suns, which is why Rebel Keto doesn’t require any. I love Jesus but curse a little (okay, a lot).
I’m that woman bold enough to confidently stroll through CVS with nothing but K-Y Yours + Mine and Immodium in my buggy. And yes, I’ll correct the teenage cashier when he rings up the wrong brand because there IS a difference, Trevor.
You can’t scare me – I have three kids. I’ve been peed on, puked on, and pooped on – sometimes all before 7 AM. Your diet industry gaslighting doesn’t even register on my trauma scale.
I can make kick-ass brownies that’ll make the PTA moms weep with envy OR burn water trying to boil eggs – there’s no in-between. I’ve hidden in my pantry eating cheese straight from the block while my kids searched for me. I’ve served cereal for dinner and called it “breakfast for dinner” like I planned it.
My BS detector is finely tuned because I’ve heard it all:
- “You just need more willpower” (sure, Jan)
- “Have you tried essential oils?” (have you tried actual science?)
- “Calories in, calories out” (your body isn’t a spreadsheet, Karen)
- “Maybe you need more balance” (the Dalai Lama and Gandhi never had kids, so they can keep their zen)
I’m a certified health coach, published author, mom of three (including one with autism who keeps me REAL humble), and most importantly, a woman who’s figured out that the problem was never me – it was the system designed to make me fail.
