Lauren Hubert is the Registered Dietitian and weight loss expert behind The Sorority Nutritionist, a brand that has taught thousands of women around the world to lose weight while having fun. In addition to the women she’s coached, her 126k followers she supports with nutrition content, and having her expertise being featured in Oprah Magazine, Bustle, and POPSUGAR.

Determined to lose the 20 pounds (9 kg) she gained freshman year at Florida State University, Lauren began over-exercising and restricting her food to 1000 calories because of what she found on the internet. When Lauren finally began studying nutrition, she realized her approach to dieting was all wrong and was actually hurting her metabolism.

Lauren now has taken her own struggles and made it her passion to show women how to transform their body, get real results on the scale, and actually have fun doing it. Her mission as a Registered Dietitian in the weight loss space is to not only inspire women to lose weight in a balanced and fun way, but to also make sure no woman feels guilty about wanting to be HOT, healthy, and successful.
