FACT CHECKED BY Christopher Roback

Do you want to drop 5 pounds a month in a healthy and sustainable way? Tarah Schulte is a weight loss coach who helps mothers get into the best shape possible. She is also a weight loss warrior who dropped 20 pounds in 4 months by incorporating a few healthy habits into her routine. In a few new social media posts, the influencer shows off her amazing body in a 2-piece workout gear while revealing the things she did to achieve her fit figure.

Amp Up Your Protein Intake

"Here are the four habits I want you to become addicted to over the next 6 months," she writes in one of her posts. "Eat at least 30g of protein at every meal. Yes, I know you think that's too much food, but I promise if you want to get there, you need to eat your protein. We all know the "eat less, move more" hasn't gotten you the results you're looking for, so you have nothing to lose, right?"

Do 30-Minute Strength Training Workouts

Next, do 30-minute strength training workouts from home. Why? "Because these will fit in your day easier. You can wake up 30 min earlier or do it while your kiddos play nearby. This allows you to be more consistent, which means you'll see results more quickly! Aim for 3-5 a week. If you can't do that, at least commit to 8,000 daily steps to start out!" she writes.

Sleep

She also stresses the importance of sleep. "Get at least 6-7 hours of sleep every night (so don't plan to read your book for 3 hours at 9 pm 👀)," she says.

Hydrate

Hydration is also important. "Drink your water! & I mean a minimum of half your body weight in oz of water!! 80+ oz is a good place to start! And add electrolytes! (If you need a quality electrolyte recommendation, just ask me in the comments, and I can send it over!)"

Go for Walks

In another post, she adds that consistency is also important. "I can't stress this enough. Stop quitting on yourself after two weeks‼️ Your body doesn't transform in 2 weeks. Can you make some changes then sure but you need at least 3-6 months to see true changes happening. The best way to stay consistent is to know you have a program that works!" she writes.

Go for Walks

And, "walk it out," she recommends in a post. "Adding in short walks (even 10 minutes on your lunch break) & hitting 8,000 steps a day will increase NEAT and boost your metabolism alongside so many other benefits (your hormones will thank you!)."

Take Supplements

Also, take supplements. "My supplement stack has given me (& many of my clients the jumpstart they need) Its been a huge game hanger for me with supporting healthy cortisol levels & weight management," she says.

Snack Healthy

Eat these snacks on repeat, she recommends. "These are also great to prep and take on the go! So if you're heading to the lake, the pool, or a weekend out of town but still have nutritional goals to hit – you need to try these!" she writes.
