Tired of doing all the “right” things and still dealing with stubborn belly fat?

Since it's Memorial Day weekend that this episode airs, today, we're mapping out your summer. ☀️ But before we hit the gas, I want you to picture this: Where do you want to arrive when summer wraps up? Come September, do you want to feel leaner, stronger, more energized? Or maybe just steady and proud that you didn't throw your goals out the car window? Whatever your destination is, you get to define it. That's the key: Summer success doesn't have one lane. You choose the road that works for you.  Today I am sharing three summer routes I see women take again and again. Maybe one of these sounds like the summer you need. If you plan for it and prioritize it, you can make it happen.     Free training with Dr. Bill Campbell on May 29 @ noon ET (replay!): Free 3-Day Crash Course on Intermittent Fasting: https://www.facebook.com/groups/710079025034874   CONNECT with Amy Bryan any of the following ways:  ENROLL in my next FASTer Way 6-week online class at https://www.fasterwaycoach.com/AMYBRYAN SCHEDULE a discovery call, VOICE MESSAGE me, JOIN my free Facebook community group, and DOWNLOAD my latest freebies at www.linktr.ee/amybryanfasterway EMAIL me at amy@fatlossschool.net

Ever feel like you could live a healthier lifestyle… if you could just get your life together first? If the chaos of your calendar, the clutter in your pantry, or the endless to-do list has you feeling stuck, you're not alone.

That's why in this episode, I've invited an expert in organization to help us tackle the behind-the-scenes stuff—your time, your space, and your meals—so you can finally feel less overwhelmed and more in control. We'll talk: How to make space in your calendar for workouts and meal prep How to set up your pantry and fridge so healthy choices are easier Why organization isn't about being perfect—it's about being prepared If you've ever said, “I just can't get it together enough to be consistent,” this one's for you.   For Miriam Pino's Pantry Rules:  www.morethanorganized.net/pantry-rules  For my Pantry Cleanout & Restock Guide: https://amybryanfasterway.myflodesk.com/pantryguide For Dr. Bill Campbell's free training on May 29 at noon ET: https://www.fasterwaytofatloss.com/fat-loss-live-training?aid=AMYBRYAN Free 3-Day Crash Course on Intermittent Fasting: https://www.facebook.com/groups/710079025034874    CONNECT with Amy Bryan any of the following ways:  ENROLL in my next FASTer Way 6-week online class at https://www.fasterwaycoach.com/AMYBRYAN SCHEDULE a discovery call, VOICE MESSAGE me, JOIN my free Facebook community group, and DOWNLOAD my latest freebies at www.linktr.ee/amybryanfasterway EMAIL me at amy@fatlossschool.net

Today's topic is all about why keeping the weight off is such a struggle. Most of us have been successful losing weight before. Even if it's just a couple pounds, most of us have seen the scale dip at some point—we've cut calories and exercised til we see weight loss. But the part that no one talks about enough is this: most people regain the losses.  I share four strategies in today's episode that will help you keep from regaining the weight you've lost.    CONNECT with Amy Bryan any of the following ways:  ENROLL in my next FASTer Way 6-week online class at https://www.fasterwaycoach.com/AMYBRYAN SCHEDULE a discovery call, VOICE MESSAGE me, JOIN my free Facebook community group, and DOWNLOAD my latest freebies at www.linktr.ee/amybryanfasterway EMAIL me at amy@fatlossschool.net

Our standard American diet is making us fat, sick, and starving for real satisfying nutrition.

Consistency matters! You can't exercise hard on Saturday and it be enough for the week - just like you can't brush your teeth on Saturday and it be enough for the week.
