In today's solo episode, I'm answering a powerful question from listener Stephanie about a challenge many women face on their fitness journey: what to do when medication suppresses your appetite and you're not eating enough — especially when you're trying to maintain or build muscle. Whether you're taking ADHD medication, weight loss meds, or anything else that impacts your hunger cues… Navigating nutrition can get tricky. And while eating less might seem like a fast track to fat loss, undereating can actually slow your metabolism and lead to unwanted muscle loss. In this episode, I'm breaking down realistic, doable strategies to help you get enough nutrition even on low-appetite days. You'll learn how to fuel your body in a way that supports your muscle and aesthetic goals, keeps your metabolism up, and works with your medication — not against your progress. If muscle tone, strength, and a healthy metabolism are on your goal list, this is one you don't want to miss.

On today's episode I am sitting down solo to discuss one of the most common questions I get asked both in my DMs and during coaching sessions: “Can eating too much protein actually sabotage my progress and be the reason why I'm not losing weight?” Protein is so important when it comes to fat loss because of it's appetite suppressing benefits and how it helps you target fat loss while keeping your muscle when dieting… but that doesn't always mean more is better. That's why in this episode I'm going to break down situations in which eating more protein is better for your goals alongside also sharing other scenarios in which if you're eating too much – it can actually hold you back from seeing progress, and why. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why setting a specific protein target based on your body's actual needs should be top priority if you want to shed fat and gain tangible tips on how to structure a high protein diet that works with your goals, not against them. 1:1 Coaching with Lauren and Our Team of Dietitians: HERE Join my 30 30 in 30 Challenge 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:

On today's episode, I am sitting down solo to answer a question submitted by one of our amazing listeners named Ali on fat's role in fat loss. Fat is a macronutrient that is high in calories, yet in many of the very healthful foods we eat. That's why I loved Ali's question because it can be confusing to know just how much fat you should be eating when trying to lose body fat… especially when you're trying to be in a calorie deficit and cut back on extra calories you don't need. By the end of today's episode you can expect to learn more about fat as compared to the other macronutrient's carbs and proteins, why fat is actually important to eat in your diet even if you want to shed weight and scenarios in which you may want to cut back on your fat intake. Most importantly, I'm also sharing how to balance your favorite fat rich foods that you already eat in your diet alongside your weight loss goals so you can lose weight without feeling deprived. 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
