"Mindset is really this piece that brings health, nutrition, and body composition all together... The diet isn’t going to save you. Nothing is going to save you. You are going to save your damn self... You need to start taking responsibility."

EFR 501: How Your Mindset May Be Keeping You From Your Weightloss Goal with Lauren Hubert
“Let’s put less emphasis on losing 10, 20, 30 pounds and more on what hot, healthy, and confident mean to you.”
This is the motto that Lauren Hubert decided to embody as 2021 rolled out. But getting to the point where she could proclaim and live out this mindset for herself was a journey plagued with doubt and insecurity.
After gaining nearly 20 pounds as a freshman at Florida State University, Lauren was determined to shed the weight and regain her self-confidence. Unfortunately, she ended up going down a destructive path defined by hours of running, an extreme calorie deficit, and closing herself off from all social events for fear of getting tempted to eat the “wrong” foods.
It took a couple of years studying to become a registered dietician before Lauren realized just how toxic her mindset toward health and wellness was up till then. In 2019, with a renewed purpose, Lauren established The Sorority Nutritionist.
Listen in as Lauren touches on the value of patience and setting expectations as we create our fitness goals; how to manage failure, avoid burnout, and maintain our positivity as we strive for these goals; not letting yourself be defined by your failures and weaknesses; and how to overcome the two biggest struggles with health and wellness that most people go through today.

Key Highlights
In the past, formal curriculums never taught us about the power of mindset as being fundamental to behavior change and, by extension, making nutritional changes. Lauren explains why the tide is finally turning.
How exactly do you set “realistic expectations” and undergo lifestyle changes with the proper mindset?
How can coaches be radically honest with clients if they aren’t hitting the success markers set for them?
Lauren describes the value of qualitative data in terms of how you’re feeling about your growth in any area.
One powerful way to experience healing while inspiring others is by putting your stories of failure or hardship out there on social media once you’ve successfully distilled those stories right down to their lessons or morals, and ceased to define yourself by those stories. Lauren shares her approach to doing just that.
Powerful Quotes by Lauren Hubert
Mindset is really this piece that brings health, nutrition, and body composition all together. I don’t think you can truly make a behavior change and truly change your body and lifestyle without having a strong mindset.
The diet isn’t going to save you. Nothing is going to save you. You are going to save your damn self. You need to show up for yourself. You need to start taking responsibility.
You don’t get a gold star for tracking your calories. You get a gold star for seeing results.
When you feel good, you do good, and you can show up the best way.
More about Lauren:
Lauren Hubert MS, RD is the Registered Dietitian and Weight Loss Expert behind The Sorority Nutritionist. After gaining nearly 20 pounds as a freshman at Florida State University, Lauren was left struggling with her self-confidence and insecure about the way she looked. Determined to lose the weight, Lauren began her weight loss journey sparking an intense interest in food and exercise. Like many young women, to shed the weight she began running for hours every day and cutting out calories from her diet, leading her to being super restrictive with her food choices and scared to go out to drink with her sorority sisters. It wasn’t until she began studying nutrition and changed her degree to Dietetics at Florida State when she totally realized the self destructive dieting path she was going down.
Now as a Registered Dietitian, Lauren is not only passionate about teaching you to fuel your body for lasting and balanced weight loss… but she wants you to become the hottest and most successful version of you! Most importantly, she wants you to do it in a FUN way.
The Sorority Nutritionist and Lauren's proven 3-step weight loss method evolved from her own experiences dieting as a college sorority girl and her early work with young women who would come to her for her Dietitian expertise. She then realized pairing calorie counting to build awareness around food choices paired with mindful eating and a realistic approach towards including all foods was exactly what young women needed to achieve their dream body and actually improve their relationship to food. Lauren holds a Bachelor's degree in Dietetics from Florida State University and a Master's degree in Clinical Nutrition from Boston University. Lauren also completed her one-year dietetic internship at University of Massachusetts Medical Center. She is an accredited Registered Dietitian who specializes in weight loss, body composition change and improving your relationship to food.
