I'm turning up the volume with this highly-downloaded series -- the best-of episodes that are filled with everything you need to have more fun, spend less time in the kitchen, and still reach your weight loss goals this summer.
Food guilt has no business showing up when you're poolside, beachside, or on vacation. Today, I'm walking through 5 simple rules that let you actually enjoy summer without overthinking every bite.
This episode is all about the moments that tend to feel hardest: the pool, the beach, vacation.
Take a listen as I'm giving you my best tips for enjoying all of it without guilt, from what to pack, how to handle dessert, and why the whole season isn't actually about the food at all. These are simple, doable, and they work!
