You're listening to the Missing Peace series where we figure out exactly why your fat loss has felt stuck and what to do about it because the truth is the worst way to lose fat is by eating less.

How you slim down and get your dream body is by eating smart, not less ladies.

My new program Slim Down Eat Up is the new era of weight loss, where you eat the most amount of food to actually weight the least.

This program takes my proven fat loss process, the same one I've used with over 7,000 women in the past decade as a registered dietitian, and turns it into a step-by-step experience that will permanently change your body

and your relationship to food. Slim down, eat up, drop Sunday, November 16th. Mark your

calendars.

Hello, my beautiful people, and welcome back to another episode of Hot Healthy, Never Hungry and the free series I am hosting on here called The Missing Piece. This Missing Peace series is all about figuring out what is the missing piece that's really keeping you stuck. It's a saying that I've said to clients over the years. And it's also a saying that so many clients have come to me saying, I can't figure out the missing piece. I'm doing this. I'm doing that. I'm eating healthy. I'm working out. Why is this not working? When we uncover the missing piece, that is when they begin to see progress. And I will share with you. Today's missing piece, I mean, all of these are really popular topics. Of course, that really come up with clients. But truly, today's missing piece is one

that I think I probably have this conversation, dare I say the most with my clients,

especially women who struggle with what they've done in the past is no longer working as they've

gotten older, as their bodies have shifted, as they've gained more weight. This is a really common missing piece.

So I'm really excited to get into it quickly because we always have to highlight reviews on this podcast.

We have E.M. Oly, Maycoe, hopefully I'm pronouncing that and saying that correctly.

She said, Lauren, thank you so much for sharing your experience with postpartum in such an honest and real way. I wish I had this episode when I was in the thick of postpartum five years ago. Your advice is so simple and so real. In your experience as a new mom, the struggles of life shifting and working to find a new routine for life and weight loss is just so relatable. I felt like you were really telling my story. Thank you for all the

motivation and tips. You're the best. I love the show, Exo Emily. Oh my gosh. This is actually coming

out a really full circle moment because I'm going to share this on social media today, but

ladies, I kid you not. Today I fit back into my pre-pregnancy jeans that have been the jeans in

my closet that I have been literally dying.

Like, this is a monumental moment for me. And I feel like my daughter turned 16 months tomorrow as I'm

recording this. And I just feel like I'm finally hitting my groove. So if you are postpartum,

if you are going through a really massive life transition, maybe it has nothing to do with

kids and pregnancy and those types of body changes, but you're really trying to just figure out what this new era of you being fit is like. I'm so glad you're here. Thank you so much for leaving this review. Thank you so much for allowing me to share this message and just have a safe place for all of us to have these honest conversations. Because gosh, some of this stuff is not easy, but it's so worth it when you have that moment where your clothes fit again. Or you just feel like, gosh, like I feel like I made it. I feel like I really have done something positive for myself here. And you feel really good. All of this is about feeling, feeling, feeling really, really good. Okay, let's talk about the missing piece

today. So you guys see the title, of course. Carbs are really great. And some of you guys might be even coming into this podcast being like, oh, I heard carbs are bad. Like carbs are not bad.
