Rebekah Matznick- Well and Balanced Life I have always had a passion for nutrition and fitness. Growing up I knew I wanted to be a nutritionist and work in the health industry. And blogging of course!

Being a dancer for most of my life spurred on this desire. After graduating from Purdue University, I became a Certified Personal Trainer with the American College of Sports Medicine. I then completed my Dietetic Internship and Master’s degree in Nutrition at North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC. I became a Registered Dietitian and now work as a Public Health Nutritionist at the Guilford County WIC Program in North Carolina. I absolutely love it and enjoy getting to work with women, infants, and children on a daily basis. I am an advocate for maternal and pediatric nutrition as I believe this is one of the most important times for nutrition in a person/child’s life. I live in North Carolina with my husband Kevin and Goldendoodle puppy named Henry! When I’m not working I am enjoying time with my husband, traveling to see my family in Indiana, exercising, drinking coffee and eating at my favorite restaurants! I created a blog because I believe that life is meant to be lived, and to be lived fully. In order to live a full life I believe that we need our health. I think living fully means enjoying moments with friends and family, relishing in good food, and adventuring throughout the world. I want people to reach their full potential in life and to feel good doing it. This blog serves as a resource to communicate my passions, and bring awareness to others about healthy living. It doesn’t have to be hard and that is why I am here.

You don’t have to gain weight at Thanksgiving.

You just need a plan that actually works with real life.

Here’s what I’m doing this year:
✅ Eat protein at breakfast (don’t skip to ‘save room’)
✅ Drink water with 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar before the meal (reduces glucose spike)
✅ Fill my plate with protein and veggies first, then eat the carbs (don’t say no—just eat them after)
✅ Walk 10-15 minutes after eating
✅ Get back to normal the next day (no guilt, no punishment)

One meal won’t undo your progress. But quitting on yourself for weeks after? That will.

The fastest way to sabotage yourself at holiday parties?
Skip meals all day to ‘save calories.’

You’ll show up starving. Overeat. Feel guilty. Then quit on yourself for weeks.

Here’s what actually works:
Eat a solid breakfast with protein. Stay consistent all day. Then enjoy the party without guilt.

One meal doesn’t undo your progress. But the restrict-binge-guilt cycle does.

I’m putting together a Holiday Survival Toolkit with everything you need to navigate the holidays without starting over in January.

You don’t gain weight because of Thanksgiving dinner.

You gain it because of the three weeks after when you tell yourself you already messed up.

One meal doesn’t undo progress. But quitting on yourself does.
The holidays aren’t the problem. It’s the ‘I’ll start Monday’ spiral that keeps you stuck.

So here’s what you do instead:
Enjoy the meal. Have the pie. Drink the wine.

Then wake up the next day and get right back to your normal.

Water. Protein. Movement.

That’s it. No punishment. No guilt. Just consistency.

You’re under-eating.

When you eat too little for too long, your body adapts. It slows down to match what you’re giving it.

So now you’re exhausted, hungry all the time, and the scale still won’t budge.

That’s not a you problem. That’s a method problem.

Quick test: Do you rarely feel hungry? That’s actually a sign you’ve been under-eating for too long. When you start fueling properly, your hunger signals come back—and that’s a GOOD thing.

Here’s what to do instead:
✅ Eat protein at every meal
✅ Lift weights 2-3x/week
✅ Stop restarting—just keep showing up

Start fueling your body the right way—and watch what changes.
I’m breaking this down even more in a blog post + YouTube video dropping tomorrow. Want it sent straight to you? Link in bio to join my email list 👆

Staying consistent doesn’t mean doing everything perfectly.
It means showing up in small ways—even on your busiest, most chaotic days.

This week, I’m focusing on 5-minute wins:
✅ A quick core workout
✅ A 5-minute walk
✅ Prepping protein for the week
✅ Journaling to reset my mindset
✅ A mini tidy to clear mental clutter

That’s it. Nothing overwhelming. Just small actions that keep me moving forward instead of waiting for the “perfect time” to start.
And honestly? These 5-minute wins add up faster than you think.

Want to do this with me? I’m running the 5-for-5 Challenge all month inside Fit Mama Collective—and you get guides like the one above, weekly workouts, meal plans, and accountability.

You’re eating healthy. Working out. Doing all the things.

But your jeans still don’t fit. Your energy is still low. And the scale won’t budge.

So you tell yourself you just need to eat less and work out more.
But here’s the truth: You’re not eating enough.

When you under-eat for too long, your body slows down your metabolism to protect you. That’s why “eating less” eventually stops working.

Your body isn’t broken. You’re just working against it instead of with it.

I made a simple Fat Loss Checklist that shows you the exact shifts that actually work—so you can stop under-eating and finally see results.

I lost 35 lbs after having 3 babies—and I never cut out carbs, sugar, or wine.

The secret? It wasn’t about eating less or working out harder.
It was about understanding how my body processes food—and making 3 simple changes that keep my blood sugar steady.

Once I figured that out, everything clicked. The weight came off. My energy stayed consistent. And I finally stopped feeling like I was fighting my body every single day.

I broke it all down in my newest YouTube video—including the exact 3 habits I do before every meal that made all the difference.

If you’re in your 30s or 40s and feel like nothing’s working anymore, this one’s for you.

This 2-minute salad has changed everything for me.

I eat it before my main meals (or carb heavy meals) and it keeps me full, stops cravings, and helps my body handle carbs better.

The fiber slows down digestion = steady blood sugar = no 3pm crash.

Super simple. Super effective.

You can do any veggies, doesn’t have to be a salad!

Save this and try it tonight! 👆

This is literally the only meal prep I do.

Cook chicken once on Sunday.

Use it all week for lunches, dinners, quick bowls.

No fancy containers. No Sunday stress. Just easy protein ready to go.

Comment CHICKEN and I’ll send you the recipe 👇
