About Coach Michelle

I’m coach Michelle and I am a unique weight loss coach in that for 42 years, I was on the weight loss rollercoaster. I lost a hundred pounds, three times.

I was put on my very first diet at the age of nine, and it was a 900 calorie diet. I never want to go back there, but it was not until I was 42 that I actually figured out how to lose the weight and keep it off.  At 42 I lost weight in 18 months and I’ve maintained it for seven years.

If you do the math, that means I am 50 years old and I am still maintaining said 120-pound weight loss that took me about 18 months to achieve, and I achieved that weight loss after 40.

I am here to help you reach your weight loss goal and stay there!

Don’t listen when they say you can’t lose weight after you reach 40,

My goal is not to help you do another diet, but to create a lifestyle of healthy living that allows you to maintain your weight loss for life!

Weight loss is about a lot more than “eat less and move more”!  But to reach your goal the number one thing you must do is track what you eat!

Lemon Cheesecake Fat Bomb

??If you’re following a keto diet, fat bombs are your chance to give your tastebuds an extra treat! If you’re not, these make for a delicious treat!
?Many fat bombs contain chocolate flavor or nut butter, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, variety is the spice of life.
So I thought I’d offer an alternative … Lemon!
These are seriously delicious. Watch your portion sizes! They’ll keep for a couple months in the freezer.

Stopping Slow Weight Loss In It’s Tracks!

Stopping Slow Weight Loss In It’s Tracks!

This Podcast

Slow weight loss sucks!  What sucks more is the down 1lb, up 3lb cycle that we go through after 40.

In the last week, I have talked to so many women that feel like weight loss is impossible because they have tried all the things that used to work for them and NONE of it is working now that they have crossed that barrier of 40

There are a few things at play that make it seem like we are missing out on the key piece of the puzzle when this happens.

I had this problem when I started my weight loss journey too, but I did figure it out.

Today’s podcast has “the” insider information!  Don’t miss out!

Let’s talk healthy!

Stuffed Bell Peppers

??‍?Here’s a classic comfort food recipe! This comes together in 3 steps.
?1. Prep the peppers, 2. Make the stuffing, and 3. Bake. You can even prepare the stuffing ahead of time.
Course Main Course
Cuisine American
Servings 6 servings
Calories 317 kcal

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking dish
  • stove
  • large skillet
  • plate
  • paper towels
  • foil

Ingredients
  

  • 6 bell peppers any color
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ lb grass-fed ground beef (225 g)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 onion small, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini finely diced
  • 4 plum tomatoes seeded and diced
  • Sriracha to taste
  • 2 cups riced & cooked cauliflower (250 g)
  • 1 cup sheep / goat milk feta (150 g)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
  • Prepare the peppers: Wash, cut off the tops (set aside) and remove the seeds and membrane. Place the peppers cut-side up in a baking dish just large enough to hold them upright. Finely chop the tops and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking up the lumps, until the meat is just beginning to brown. Move to a paper towel-lined plate to drain fat.
  • Carefully wipe out the skillet and add the remaining oil. When it’s heated, add onions and reserved chopped pepper tops and cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and zucchini and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes, stir, and season with salt, pepper, and a splash of sriracha.
  • Cook until everything is heated through, then stir in the beef and quinoa/barley/cooked rice cauliflower. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Stir in ½ cup (75 g) of the cheese.
  • Fill the peppers with the beef mixture and top each with a sprinkle of the remaining cheese.
  • Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the baking dish and drizzle the peppers with a little olive oil.
  • Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes. The peppers should be soft.
  • Serve with a side salad. Enjoy!

Notes

Time-saving tip: buy a bag of riced cauliflower at the grocery store and steam it, vs. preparing it from scratch.
Bonus tip: try using sheep or goat milk feta, vs. cow’s milk. The texture and taste difference is amazing. You’ll never go back to cow’s milk feta again.
