Hello, my beautiful people, and welcome back to another episode of Hot Healthy,

never hungry.

I'm coming at you on this Monday with a fast, juicy, easy to implement episode with a topic

that is near and dear to my heart because it's very relatable to my own personal 50-pound

weight loss journey that I recently went on, even more so than my former weight loss journey

when I lost 20 pounds and kept it off for 10 years. There's a lot of overlap, but especially

this more recent journey, a lot of takeaways that I'm going to be sharing with you today based

upon the question that we're getting. Before I begin, I always like to give a shout out to ratings and reviews.

Keith Ferru said practical steps to see progress. This podcast is great for anyone who has read or

heard a lot of nutritional advice, but still isn't seeing progress. I love that Lauren's short

episodes about the length of most chores

or drives to pick up kids. Have easy, specific suggestions that are easy to try for yourself.

So much other podcast content in this space can leave a listener overwhelmed. The first episode I heard

from Lauren, my take-o is that I needed to maybe change my calorie target for the day.

I did and saw results within a week or two. Every episode is that way. Her mini series on a certain topic to dive a little bit deeper are always clear and easy to apply to your own situation. I highly recommend. On that note, I need to make sure today's episodes say short, sweet, valuable, all the things that I really love for you. Thank you so, so much for leaving this rating and review. It's a great feedback for me and I just really hope it inspires other women to really get the juicy goodness. I mean, you guys are listening to this podcast, so you know you're going to get the juicy goodness, but inspires other women to maybe take a chance to listen to the show because nothing's more incredible than being able to teach and educate women to feel

their hottest, their healthiest, and understand exactly what to do based on science and not some

bullshit greens powder, stupid advice you see on social media. Anyway, I'm keeping it sassy over here.

If you do enjoy this podcast, leave a rating, leave a review, like the podcast, and follow the show on whatever platform

that you listen to it on. And hopefully we can reach more amazing women, just like you.

That being said, we have a great episode we want to jump right in. I have a question from

Rachel. Rachel, let's take it away.

Hi, Lauren. I'm hoping that you can help me with something that I keep struggling with intermittently while doing your program, which I love, by the way. I am by nature or volume eater. So I have portion distortion. I'm a really healthy eater and I kind of do all the right things. But I have difficulty kind of gauging, am I hungry? Or is this because
