Here at Busy Gal Nutrition, we want YOU to stop dieting! We are a team of registered dietitians and we work with busy women all over the country to help them reach their weight loss goals safely and sustainably without giving up their favorite foods, and by transforming how they view food and dieting as a whole.

We don’t do short-term fixes. We don’t do pre-made meal plans. We won’t ever ask you to give up your favorite things. Why? Because studies show these weight-loss strategies can help momentarily, but they don’t produce LASTING results. The program we create with you fits YOUR lifestyle. We will partner together to reach your goals while fitting in everything you love and need. We’ll navigate holidays, travel, social life, stress, picky family, crazy work schedule, and actually enjoying your food!

I reached out to Laura when I had a wedding coming up and I needed to shed some pounds to fit into my bridesmaids dress. By the end of our journey together, I not only fit into the bridesmaids dress… I had to get it taken in by a seamstress! I had full confidence the day of the wedding and still today because of Busy Gal Nutrition. The biggest thing I struggled with before working with Laura was portion sizes. She starts out the program teaching you a simple “build your plate” method, then week after week you learn more about the nutrients your body needs. I went from knowing very little about proteins, carbs & fats to feeling confident when eating out or choosing what to put on my plate at family meals. To anyone on the fence about reaching out to Laura for nutrition coaching, know that she is an encourager who is basically your cheerleader along the way. She is positive & supportive and wants to see you reach your goals… just like I did!

Before nutrition coaching with Laura, I was having trouble losing weight and what I was doing on my own wasn’t working. I would eat “healthy” or so I thought was healthy but I didn’t know how to read labels or really know what was in the foods I was eating. I also struggled with an unhealthy relationship with food. I would stress eat/snack and didn’t know how bad that was for me. Getting started in the program, my first breakthrough was finding out that I can lose weight and still eat the foods that I love! I didn’t really have much confidence or energy before I started and now I feel amazing and have so much more confidence. I now have a healthy relationship with food and I have the energy and confidence to do CrossFit workouts which I wouldn’t have been able to do before. To anyone considering joining the program, do it! It’s so worth it! Definitely the best decision I could have made!

I was so tired of crash dietiting and knew I needed to get serious about adopting a healthier lifestyle. Before working with Laura, I was always hungry and tired and never got to eat any of my favorite foods because I was “dieting.” I’m picky, and I find most healthy foods gross!! But Laura showed me yummy protein foods and tricks for sneaking in vegetables! Before joining the program, I was skeptical because nothing I had tried in the past worked and it’s hard for me to try new things. But after being in the program for just one month, I was shocked that my measurements were smaller and I was down 7 lbs. Now I’m down 13 lbs total and maintaining my weight loss, but I also have SO much more energy throughout the day and feel more confident about myself. If you commit to the program, you WILL see results!

Prior to working with Laura I was struggling with dieting as a whole. Years ago I struggled with an eating disorder, and recently I completed a completely different diet program which made me gain 15 pounds. I was very discouraged and I thought that my metabolism was broken. Nothing I did worked for me. I realized it was time to reach out to a professional for some help before my wedding. Since working with Laura I have lost 20 pounds and I feel GREAT! She broke things down into small steps and encouraged me every step of the way. I didn’t and still don’t feel like I’m dieting. I now know how to manage my weight for a lifetime the RIGHT way. I enjoy my favorite foods and I never feel restricted, which is what I’m most proud of. If you’re thinking about joining Laura I would tell you to just go ahead and learn from the professionals, because there is so much false information out there and it’s really not as hard as everyone makes it!

I always felt like I would have to eat like a rabbit to feel the way I wanted to feel in my body. I felt like my weight loss journey has been a cyclical battle of failed strategies, so I started working with Laura to better focus my efforts. I think the first week I really threw myself into the tracking was the first week I saw the effort working for me. Now I feel like I have a much better mindset when it comes to my body and taking care of it. The work and effort aren’t the only thing you focus on, it’s the understanding of who you are and how you eat and working within that. That’s the real journey and it’s totally worth it!

Before I started working with Laura, I was struggling with decreasing calories, learning new habits, removing bingeing. I was frustrated with weight gain, but also feeling like I wasn’t informed enough to help myself stay at a healthy weight. After working with her, I’m feeling less bloated and much more confident. I was aided the whole way through and my biggest breakthrough was learning not to binge eat. Laura helps you get where you need to be.

Before we started working together, I was skipping meals, my weight was constantly going up and down from dieting, I was restricting calories, and I felt like I had to sacrifice to be the weight I felt most comfortable with. At first I was kind of skeptical about joining the program because I wasn’t sure if it would work because of my busy work schedule and picky eating. Now, My weight is down 16 lbs, Confidence is definitely increasing, and energy has been a million times better. My first breakthrough was the first week I lost weight despite eating out and enjoying a drink with friends. To someone considering working with Laura, I’d say do it! I’ve learned so much about myself and how to reach my goals.

I was struggling with drinking enough water and feeling full from my food. I realized after working with her for a few weeks that I was not eating nearly enough protein and that’s why I didn’t ever feel full. She showed me to how to balance my macros with foods I enjoyed and this made it so easy to lose weight, feel satisfied, and lose 10 lbs with ease. I’m usually running around like a mad woman, so it really helped that we started with small goals and I worked my way up. I also had specific plans with my busy schedule in mind. I would recommend Laura because I’m a vet student and thought I knew a lot about nutrition, but I didn’t know enough! Now I feel way healthier and more confident. Work with her!

I decided to get into nutrition coaching because, going into the pandemic as a RN, I wanted to be as healthy as I could be. I am a stress non-eater! On even normal days I would be tired frequently and not completely understand why. My biggest frustration before working with Laura was thinking that 1200 calories or lower was what I needed to eat, and she showed me my needs are so much more than that. Starting in the program, Laura was great!! She listened to what I needed and doesn’t overwhelm with what needs to be done. Baby steps are successful with incorporating healthy habits. I never have energy crashes anymore and I’m the healthiest I have ever been. Busy Gal Nutrition makes lifestyle changes in your diet approachable and easy. Laura is amazing! I am so thankful to be my healthiest self.

Prior to working with Laura, I was struggling with identifying food sensitivities (e.g., foods causing an upset stomach). Consistency was often hard for me, too. During periods when I felt good, I might eat foods that didn’t agree with me, but I was unable to identify what was causing my symptoms. Now, I am proud that I gave myself the opportunity to learn about food (e.g., saturated vs. unsaturated fat; the impact of more fiber in my diet). Learning (vs. simply following the “rules”) will allow me to live a healthy lifestyle and continue to be symptom-free. I would recommend Laura because she has a holistic approach to nutrition coaching. She listened to my story and together we created an individualized plan. She then developed resources for me to use (e.g., food logs, modified recipes) and would check-in with me weekly. She is easy to talk to and extremely dependable!

I decided to start coaching with Laura because I was unhappy with my body and eating habits. Before I started, I was getting way less food than I was actually supposed to eat, along with no water and ate whatever I wanted. My biggest frustration with nutrition was thinking all carbs were bad and that if I ate carbs I would not lose weight. At first, I was skeptical because this program is nothing like dieting. You choose what you eat. At first this seemed too easy to lose weight with. Before we started I was at my heaviest weight I have ever been and was very unhappy with my eating and Body. I was using food to make me feel better but in return, I was hating myself more. Now, I have a much more healthy relationship with food. I’ve lost 12 lbs and have developed amazing habits that will stick with me through my adulthood.
Mary Caroline
Working with Laura was very freeing. She taught me how to work toward a calorie goal that would help me lose weight and how balance my carbs and proteins so that I'd feel full along the way. She helped me substitute foods that were not helping me reach my goals - like how to make lower calorie dinners, how to get more protein in without chugging protein shakes and how to substitute tasty, lower-calorie drinks for beer and wine. We also worked on stress management techniques and ways to treat myself without turning to food.
