Hot, Healthy, Never Hungry

Today I'm wrapping up my 6-part series, The Missing Piece, with a final episode on one of the most common issues women face when dieting that keeps them stuck. If you can lose a few pounds but gain them right back every week, there's a good chance you're caught in the extremes of dieting. Eating "good" and "clean" during the week often leads to intense cravings once the weekend hits, which can trigger overeating and overindulging. In today's episode, I'm breaking down this exhausting cycle and exactly how to overcome it. I'm sharing what true consistency really looks like, why being overly strict with your diet might be working against you, and what to do instead to smooth out your weekly calorie intake so you can finally stop starting over every Monday. By the end of today's show, you'll know how to break free from the all-or-nothing dieting cycle by building in intentional flexibility — so your results actually stick. Doors are open! Come join my new program, Slim Down, Eat Up and find out how eating more can finally help you weigh less.

Today I'm bringing you episode 5 of my 6-part series, The Missing Piece, and we're talking about one of the most overlooked habits that have kept my clients stuck – that you may be doing, too. While that 30 minutes to even an hour you spend crushing it in the gym is amazing, what about the other 23 or so hours in the day? If this sounds like you, in today's episode I'm breaking down why your daily movement outside the gym matters just as much as your training (if not more) and how neglecting the other hours in the day might just be what is stalling your progress. If you've ever felt frustrated that your hard work in the gym isn't showing up in the mirror, this episode will show you the missing piece that ties it all together. PS: Doors are open!

Today I'm bringing you episode 4 of my new 6-part series, The Missing Piece, where I'm addressing why "hitting your macros" doesn't always yield fat loss and the progress you think it will. If you're putting in the work, logging your food, and still finding progress out of reach – this episode is for you. In today's episode I'm revealing the massively overlooked reason your body might be holding onto weight and fat despite appearing to "hit your macros" as you log your food. I'm sharing why what you eat (not just how much you eat) matters if your goal is to lose body fat and lean out. By the end of this episode, you'll walk away confidently knowing how to hit your nutrition goals, make your hard work count, and finally see those fat loss results you deserve.

Today I'm bringing you episode 3 of my new 6-part series, The Missing Piece, and we're talking about one of the biggest mistakes women make when it comes to carbs that can lead to difficulty losing body fat and that's often overlooked. Are carbs really the enemy, or is it the way you're eating them that's sabotaging your body goals? Today I'm sharing the truth behind carbs and explaining how this category of foods are not created equal when it comes to your metabolism. Some carbs spike your blood sugar and leave you hangry, whereas others are literally designed to keep you full for hours and sculpt a fit body. In today's episode, I'm breaking down the two most common mistakes women make when it comes to carbs in their diet, why your macros might look perfect on paper but still leave you stuck, and the science-backed approach to building a balanced plate that fuels fat loss and keeps you fuller longer.

Today I'm bringing you episode 2 of my new 6-part series, The Missing Piece, and we're talking about one of the biggest "missing pieces" my clients are secretly struggling with that holds them back from fat loss which is related to their protein intake. When it comes to protein, there's usually no in between. You either think you have to eat like a body builder because of social media content you see online, or you barely eat sufficient protein at meals and you're drastically underconsuming this important nutrient for fat loss. Either way, protein is important and the goal is not to eat too much or too little – but instead the right amount. I'm breaking down why not eating enough protein can hold you back, why knowing protein is important isn't enough and how understanding your unique requirements is the first step towards successful fat loss and what actually happens to your body (and appetite) when you miss that 20–30g sweet spot at each meal. Plus, I'll share my go-to strategies for building satisfying, high protein meals without living on protein shakes and cottage cheese, or thinking you need to be a bodybuilder.

Today's an exciting day because I'm kicking off episode 1 of my new 6-part series, The Missing Piece: where we uncover what's really holding you back from seeing fat loss progress and how to fix it. Today's episode features one of the biggest "missing pieces" I see when working with clients when it comes to how big and filling their meals are versus their snacking habits. I'm walking you through the food audit red flags I see most as a Registered Dietitian, the rule of thumb I always live (and coach) by when it comes to calorie content in meals versus snacks, and the simple shifts you can make to stop letting "snacks" call the shots in your day and seriously accelerate your progress. By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to build meals that keep you full so you can boost your metabolism, ensure you're satisfied and stop unintentionally sabotaging your progress through snacks. 1:1 Coaching with Lauren and Our Team of Dietitians: HERE To connect with Lauren, click HERE Submit your question for advice from Lauren on the show HERE Take the free Weight Loss Personality Quiz HERE Shop Our Meal Plans HERE Get Support & Personally Work With Us HERE Related Episodes: 🎙️Episode 340: The Missing Piece: You Don't Need Eat Like A Body Builder To Lose Fat (Here's Your Mistake) 🎙️Episode 341: The Missing Piece: Carbs Are Great...

On today's final episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series this year, I'm answering a question submitted by one of our amazing listeners regarding how to measure your body fat while you're at home to be able to interpret if you're making progress or not with more certainty. One of the drawbacks of only using the scale to track your progress is sometimes you can lose body fat while gaining (or even maintaining muscle)... leading to body composition changes that aren't reflected on the scale. This means you can be making physical progress, looking leaner and even dropping your body fat percentage but the scale may not have budged anymore than a few pounds if that. This is why beginning a practice to track your body fat percentage and body composition is so crucial to your fitness journey, despite it sometimes being challenging without the right equipment. If you're ready to explore new ways to track your body composition and progress at home without needing fancy or expensive gadgets, this episode features my simple, at-home strategies I use with my own clients to measure progress in other ways than just the scale.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I'm sitting down to discuss a question submitted by our amazing listener Abbey on the benefits and drawbacks of traditional weight lifting versus a la carte fitness classes. We all know that using progressive overload as a technique when lifting weights allows your muscles to be challenged so you can see the results you want – but what happens when you do a la carte fitness classes such as Peloton Strength workouts? Do these workouts impact your results even if you enjoy them or they are convenient? Today's episode is going to address two things. First, is it a myth that you need to lift heavy weights to get lean and lose body fat? And secondly, I discuss the benefits and drawbacks of traditional weight lifting versus one-time classes such as Peloton Strength and Orangetheory so you know how to choose the right training style for your goals, schedule and fitness level. If you're looking to not just lose weight but reshape your body, this episode is going to help you figure out if what you're doing is enough for the results you want to see.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I am sitting down to discuss the truth around fasting for fat loss. Have you ever felt pressured to intermittent fast because of information you've seen on social media? Today I want to set the record straight by breaking down both the pros and cons to fasting as an approach to losing body fat, alongside what I want every woman to understand whether or not they decide to use this tool on their fitness journeys.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I'm sitting down to discuss how much protein you actually need to be eating per day if your goal is to lose fat and lean out. When it comes to protein, unfortunately much of the advice online makes you think that you need to eat like a bodybuilder to get fit – when that's the farthest from the truth. Instead, today's episode is going to walk you through three simple approaches to figuring out how much protein you actually should be eating per day, whether or not you want to track your calories or macros. You'll walk away knowing how to set a protein goal that's realistic for your lifestyle, feels workable even if you're busy, and actually sets you up for lasting fat loss based on science. Plus I'm also sharing the one benchmark that puts you ahead of 90% of dieters and address why protein is important… but if you don't also address this one thing it could hold you back from results.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I am sitting down to discuss how to approach losing body fat without having to give up your social life, going out to eat and enjoying food. Many women when on a diet program intentionally trying to lose body fat get anxious when they have meals out or events that can have tempting food options. While it's important to eat at home – it isn't realistic to think that you'll never go out to eat… even when you're trying to get fit and lose weight. That's why today's episode is here to help you with your mindset, and your macros. I'm breaking down how to stay on track when out to eat with simple strategies and a proven approach that will decrease your stress and anxiety in these situations. I also discuss cheat meals, when to know it's worth it to indulge and other strategies you can begin to implement so you strike the perfect balance of enjoying yourself without over-doing it. By the end of the episode you'll ditch food anxiety, learn to call a meal "fun" without derailing your results, and walk away confident that you can enjoy life and keep making progress.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I am sitting down to discuss two ways to approach calculating your calories for fat loss regardless of if you want to track your food intake. Determining your target calorie deficit is an important core step towards your journey to losing body fat because without context into how much you should be eating, it's very challenging (if not impossible) to determine the daily food plan you should be following. For this reason, I'll be sharing two methods I use with clients to help you determine how much you should be eating for results. The first method is rooted in science and numbers, while the other method is less invasive into your lifestyle and instead uses how you currently eat in your real-life to help guide how to get into a calorie deficit. By the end you'll leave this episode with knowledge on how to determine how much you should be eating and how to apply this information to your daily life to begin seeing fat loss on both your body – and the scale.

On today's episode I am sitting down solo to discuss all things weight loss weigh-ins as inspired by one of our amazing listener's named Kelsey who left a comment on a recent episode on Spotify regarding how often she should be weighing in. In this, I'm discussing how to approach weigh-ins, how often you should weigh in, when it's appropriate to stop weighing in as frequently or even at all if it's impacting your mental health and how to not let the number on the scale get the best of you according to science. My hope is for you to walk away from this episode knowing exactly how to use weigh-ins to level up your progress without it physically and mentally draining you, or bringing you down… because at the end of the day the goal is to focus on the work – not the weigh in.

On today's episode, I am sitting down solo to answer a question submitted by one of our amazing listener's named Rachel regarding the rising trend of using GLP-1 weight loss medications, especially among postpartum moms and women with just a few pounds to lose. If you've ever wondered whether you really need weight loss meds, or if seeing everyone around you take the "quick fix" makes you feel like you're missing out, this one is for you. I'm getting brutally honest about why I'm choosing not to go the medication route, how your values and circumstances shape your weight loss journey, and the mindset shifts and strategies that actually move the needle regardless of medication use or not. Whether you're all-in on doing it the OG, natural way, or just want perspective on what really works for sustainable fat loss alongside support through medications – this episode will equip you with the clarity and confidence to make the decision that truly fits you. 1:1 Coaching with Lauren and Our Team of Dietitians: HERE To connect with Lauren, click HERE Submit your question for advice from Lauren on the show HERE Take the free Weight Loss Personality Quiz HERE Shop Our Meal Plans HERE Get Support & Personally Work With Us HERE Related Episodes: 🎙️Episode 128: Dr. Spencer Nadolsky on Prescription Weight Loss 🎙️Episode 307: Q&A: "Stop Getting Discouraged By Your Friend Losing Weight Faster Than You Who's Taking Ozempic 🎙️Episode 290: Q&A: Dieting, ADHD Meds & Muscle Loss: What You Really Need to Know I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
