Hot, Healthy, Never Hungry

If you feel like you know what to do to lose weight but still aren't seeing progress, this episode is going to hit home. The truth is, fat loss isn't about doing more or waiting for the perfect moment to start. It's about simplifying what you're already doing, reconnecting with your body, and trusting the process, even when it feels slow. That's why in today's episode, I'm sharing three important lessons from my most recent 50 pound postpartum weight loss journey and how they can help you, too. If you're ready to stop overthinking, simplify your approach, and start showing up in a way that actually gets you results, you're going to love this one.

Are you being told to eat more food to lose weight… but deep down you're confused how eating more could lead to weight loss when you've already gained weight? Reverse dieting, which involves intentionally increasing your calorie intake, is one of the most talked-about yet misunderstood strategies in the fitness space right now. That's exactly why in today's solo episode I'm answering a listener question from Kayla about reverse dieting and whether it's actually necessary for your fat loss journey. We'll cover what reverse dieting is, when it may be appropriate, who it's truly designed for, and why it's not the right approach for everyone. Most importantly, you'll learn whether you actually need to "reverse diet" to lose body fat or not. My goal is to cut through the confusion surrounding this popular trend so you can understand exactly what reverse dieting is and determine whether it makes sense for your goals.

Welcome back to episode three of my 4-part mini series on restarting your weight loss journey—for good, where we're cutting through the noise and focusing on what actually works. If you feel like you're always "back at day one," having to restart your weight loss journey over and over again, this episode will show you why that keeps happening and what actually needs to change so you don't keep repeating the same cycle. I'm breaking down the patterns that keep you stuck in the all-or-nothing dieting cycle, the shifts I see with women who actually lose weight and keep it off, and how to approach your habits, diet, and progress in a way that removes the need to constantly restart. This approach is not about doing it more perfectly this time. It's about approaching weight loss differently enough that you don't have to keep starting over. By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to break the restart cycle for good and make this the last time you have to begin again.

Why does it feel like you're doing everything right… and still not losing weight? Welcome back to part two of my 4-part mini series on restarting your weight loss journey — for good. This series is inspired by the real conversations I have every day with my 1:1 clients, and for the first time, I'm bringing those exact shifts directly to you. In this episode, we're getting honest about why your weight is actually stuck. I'm breaking down the six most common patterns I see that keep women spinning their wheels, even when they feel like they're eating well and trying their best. These are the small things that add up, the habits that seem "fine" (but aren't moving the needle), and the difference between hoping something works… and actually following a clear, intentional plan that leads to fat loss. By the end of this episode, you'll understand exactly what's keeping you stuck and walk away knowing what needs to change to finally see progress on the scale.

If you've ever wondered what you should eat before or after a workout, but don't want to overthink it or derail your fat loss goals — this episode breaks it down simply. On today's episode, I'm sitting down solo to answer a question submitted by a listener named Annie about how to fuel your body for running, from what to eat before and after your workouts to why your body can respond in ways that feel confusing. There's so much conflicting advice when it comes to pre and post-workout nutrition, and it can quickly turn into overthinking every snack, every meal, and every workout. So instead of giving you more rules, I'm breaking this down in a way that actually makes sense for fat loss and performance. In this episode, I first walk you through how to approach pre-workout fueling so you can support your energy without adding unnecessary calories, then we get into post-workout fueling specifically through the lens of fat loss and what your body actually needs to recover without sabotaging your goals. I also share practical recommendations and best practices for women who are incorporating more cardio, especially running, so you can fuel smarter without overthinking every bite. 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 359: Q&A: Why Your Workouts Aren't Leading to Fat Loss 🎙️ Episode 110: 5 Reasons Why You Don't Look Like You Workout I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

If your weight is stuck, nothing is more frustrating than hearing someone say, "Just get into a calorie deficit." Yes, a calorie deficit is required for fat loss. And if you aren't losing weight, technically you're not in one. But when progress stalls, the worst advice you can give a woman is simply "get into a calorie deficit" without any context on how to actually make that happen in real life. That's why in today's episode, I'm sharing the real reasons you aren't losing weight that go far beyond the calories you're consuming. If the scale hasn't budged in weeks (or even months) and you're starting to wonder what you're missing, this episode breaks down the quiet thought patterns and behavior cycles that may be keeping you stuck, and preventing the visible body changes you're working towards. And if you know what to do but you just can't bring yourself to do it, apply for a coaching spot inside 90 Day Fit Babe Body so I can hold you accountable and help you finally show up for yourself the way you need to!

If you're the type of woman who doesn't really care that much about the number on the scale, and instead just wants to change the way your body looks, you're going to love today's episode. So many women think getting a lean, sculpted look requires obsessing over their weight, doing endless cardio, or following complicated diet rules. But the truth is, when you stop fixating on the scale and start focusing on the habits that actually change your body composition – that's when real results start to happen. That's exactly why when one of my 1:1 clients recently told me she didn't care about the scale and simply wanted to lose fat and look more toned for her wedding, I knew it was the perfect topic for today's episode. In this episode, I'm breaking down the two most important habits that will help you build muscle, lose body fat, and achieve that toned look — without overcomplicating your routine or obsessing over the number on the scale.

Here's your roadmap to dropping 10 pounds before summer by addressing what's actually keeping your weight stuck.
