Summer is here 🎉 what does that mean for your fitness goals? With bbq’s and pool parties- this isn’t the best time to start tracking macros 🙊or going hard for hours in the gym *in my opinion*.

BUT you can still make progress and feel amazing there’s no excuse💘⤵️

Workout outside! Time in the sun can increase vitamin D levels, which supports strong bones and improved mood.

Walking, dumbell workouts, and yoga are great outdoor exercises that can be done anywhere, making them perfect for summer.

Additionally, focusing on a diet that includes plenty of fruits and veggies, and staying properly hydrated, can help fuel your body and keep you lean.

Instead of ditching your goals all together in the summer because trust me, it’s easy to do- just make simple changes! & please still enjoy that bbq hot dog now and then okay we’re balanced not restrictive over here 🤣

You need to be in a caloric deficit to lose weight.

Avocados and nuts are full of healthy fats (yum love them!) and can definitely be part of a healthy fat loss diet BUT simply switching to “clean” foods does not guarantee weight loss.

Being in a caloric deficit does.

Some simple ways to do this are to;

💦increase exercise and prioritize weight lifting
🍔decrease the fat in your diet by limiting processed foods and high fat sauces and salad dressings
💧stay hydrated- 1 gal of water per day
🍗prioritize lean protein in every meal
✅discover your (ESTIMATE) maintenance calories by using an online calculator, and subtracting 100-500 from that amount to be in a deficit.
