Summary
If I could go back to every single summer of my weight loss journey and shake myself, I would. Because I spent years following summer weight loss advice, I was so convinced I was right…and it was keeping me completely stuck. The salad only barbecues. The two-a-day workouts in the heat. The I'll be good all day so I can eat at night strategy. The summer detoxes. The I have to earn my vacation body mentality. All of it. And none of it worked. Not because I wasn't disciplined enough. Because the advice itself was wrong. In this episode, I am sharing the 5 summer weight loss myths I wish I never believed and exactly what I would tell myself instead if I were starting my journey over right now in June. We are talking about why your body actually needs more fuel in summer not less, why summer is the best season to practice mindful eating not the hardest one, and why joy and presence are fat loss tools, not obstacles. These are the things I wish someone had told me between age 9 and 19 when I was white-knuckling my way through every single summer and wondering why nothing was working. And then I am giving you the 5 summer weight loss ideas I would completely ignore if I had to do it all over again. The summer detoxes, the earn your body mentality, the perfectionism at every event, the full alcohol elimination, and the story that your genetics or hormones make summer weight loss impossible for you. Because they cost me years, and I do not want them to cost you another summer. You have not been failing at summer weight loss. You have been following advice that was never going to work. Press play and let's finally fix that. xoxo, Jackie MORE FROM JACKIE: << Ready to lose weight, fix your metabolism & reach your body transformation goals without restriction? Apply for m…
