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 🎙️Episode 270: What You NEED To Know About Calories & Macros To Shed Fat 🎙️Episode 262: Overrated Fat Loss Advice That Is Ruining Your Weight Loss Goals 🎙️Episode 238: A Beginner’s Guide To Eating Healthy For Weight Loss I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

On today's episode I am sitting down solo to chat about all things postpartum body image and body changes. I wanted to record this episode because if you are pregnant or navigating your own postpartum fitness journey – you are not alone. The female body is incredible, and you can be so proud of what you’re capable of! Growing, nurturing and housing your little one for 9 months is life changing and mind blowing.
