Summer fun means on the road, in the sand, at a barbeque, or by the pool! You may think that summer means your fat loss goals have to be put on hold until school is back in session - but you can actually make summer a season of fat loss with the right approach and some simple strategies.

A sustainable and effective fat loss plan is truly all about being lifestyle friendly. That means that you employ smart tactics to turn your body into a pro fat burner, but your plan includes your favorite treats, and you’re able to enjoy social gatherings - without food guilt - while burning fat.

Set yourself up for success with these top tips!

  1. Bring Your Own Snacks. Whether you’re driving, flying, or just out and about, having your own healthy options on hand is the way to go. Check out these travel-friendly FASTer Way recipes below that can be made ahead of time and stored for easy grab and go!

  2. Continue intermittent fasting. We use fasting as a flexible tool and not a rigid rule. Adjust your fasting window as needed - but keep this fat burning tool in your summer toolbox. 

  3. You can’t go wrong with protein and veggies. These staples are nutrient dense, highly satisfying, and provide the fat loss foundation you need anytime, anywhere. 

  4. Hydrate. When we feel hungry, sometimes it is your body telling you that you need to hydrate! Hydration is key for summer heat and allowing your body to naturally detoxify and replenish!

  5. Research Your Meals Ahead of Time. If you know where you are going, look at restaurant menus. This will help you avoid feeling lost for choices and equip you to make a smart choice when you may otherwise be tempted.

  6. Memories over Macros. While sticking to the plan most of the time is what leads to results, you need to also make room for having a little fun - and just go with it! 😉

By following these tips you can stay ahead of your goals and soak up the summer season.
