Megan KerryIf you’re struggling to lose weight and you think you need to start exercising to shed pounds then I’ve got a great revelation to share that you’re absolutely going to LOVE>> It’s possible to lose weight without the gym, and here’s how.
In this article I’m going to be busting some major myths around exercise and weight loss to fire you up and help you move past feeling stuck about making a change!
If that sounds good to you then be sure to share this post and please add any questions that come up for you into the comments. I do go back and read every single one and I’ll respond to you.
Why take advice from me?
If we haven’t met yet, my name is Megan Kerry Wenmann. I’m a nurse and certified plant based health coach and I help busy moms transition to a plant based diet long term so they can lose weight, feel incredible in their body and get back their confidence. All without giving up on tastes or spending hours in the kitchen on meal prep.
I’ve personally lost over 30 pounds eating a plant based diet…and as a super busy mom to 4 kids aged 10 and under I can tell you if I can do it …. and my clients can do it….SO CAN YOU!
So before we move on today I have a question for you and that is…. Have you ever used exercise as the first step to lose weight before?
Please share in the comments so we can all connect and learn from each other!!
I know I’ve definitely tried that approach and it never worked for me.
Here’s what works for natural weight loss without the gym
I honestly never thought I would be THAT mom!!!
I am actually enjoying high intensity workouts like never before. BUT it’s not because I started off with exercise!!!
After losing over 30 pounds on a plant based diet, it’s become so much easier for me to push past the limits I thought I had. Not only have I lost weight without having to go to the gym but working out became something I wanted to do once my body became lighter.
This was so important to me because I always wanted to be that mom who was able to really engage with her kids!! Chase them around the park…have the ability to keep up in our soccer matches.
We recently moved and at our old house we were really lucky to live right next to a massive field.
We’d go out and kick the soccer ball around and have sprinting challenges..
I’m almost embarrassed to say that when I was my heaviest I wasn’t actually able to keep up with my then 5 year old…who had teeny tiny legs!!
Now that I’ve lost the weight I’m able to enjoy moving my body more and have the energy to explore movement that actually feels good to me – instead of sweating at the gym and hurting for days later…
Soon I’ll be matching those pounds lost with fitness gained 💚💪
What it takes to be successful losing weight without the gym
I’ve been able to help my clients lose the extra weight that makes it difficult to move their body so they can keep up with their kids all by following a whole food plant based diet that’s flexible enough for you to adapt to your family’s needs.
This means you can eat this way long term without making multiple meals to keep everyone happy-even if the members in your home choose not to go plant based.
That is what makes me so PASSIONATE about my signature program, Plant Empowered, and that is why moms like you have so much success in the program:
>> They’re motivated to feel confident again in their body.
>> They’re ready to set an example for their kids.
>> They are ready to take responsibility for their health in a powerful way
The myth behind exercise and weight loss
We’ve been led to believe that we need to exercise to lose weight, but this is all backwards.
The weight loss can happen FIRST so that exercise can feel comfortable and enjoyable.
When you lose at least 10 pounds before you start focusing on fitness, movement is so much easier!!
That’s when you can start breaking the old habits, patterns and feelings around uncomfortable exercise and replace them with a new excitement around healthy and fun movement!!
Does that make sense to you?? Let us know your biggest take-away in the comments!
Through Plant Empowered, I teach you how to slowly integrate activities that are right for YOU so it can be easier for you to stick to throughout your journey just like I did.
My new super fun exercise routine gets me out of the house and connects me with other amazing women who are all working toward their personal best.
The best part is that I’ve been able to reach this milestone because I was able to first commit to a balanced plant-based diet long term that didn’t feel like work to implement.
NOT by going to the gym twice a day,
Not by starting with an insane exercise routine before I even get my diet working for me.
NOT by exercising before I’ve even made my body lighter
Make weight loss easier on you. Start with your diet then add in the exercise to supercharge your results!
You can do this too!
I want you to know that this sort of massive shift is available to you as well.
You can do it too!

You can create a life where you wake up energized, in a fantastic mood, and show up as the incredible mom and woman you are – your BEST self just like this Plant Empowered Momma did:

Let’s review the steps you need to take to lose weight without exercise:
- Use a diet plan that is sustainable, proven to get results, and easy to implement
- After you’re comfortable with that plan and you’ve lost at least 10-20 pounds begin exploring movement that feels good to you
- As you continue to lose, increase duration and/or intensity to supercharge your energy, improve your health, and lose even more weight.
When you apply the above principles not only will you lose weight naturally on a plant based diet, but you’ll increase your energy and make it easier to move your body so that you can lead a healthy lifestyle long term….while passing down those healthy habits to your kids!
