Surfing the summer.

Ah, the warmth of a post-pandemic summer! It's the perfect time to work on your wellness goals, and achieving weight loss is no exception. Here are some essential nutrition tips to help you reach your weight loss goals and embrace a healthier you this summer.

1. Hydration is Key:

• Start your day with a glass of water and aim for at least 8 cups daily.

• Swap sugary drinks for water or herbal teas to stay hydrated without unnecessary calories.

• Supplement with zero-sugar minerals like Ultima or Re-lyte for deep cellular hydration and natural reduction of intense cravings.

• Alcohol tips: Swap sugary cocktails (sugar bombs) for simpler drinks such as tequila with lime juice and club soda instead of a margarita (which contains 700 calories and a mountain of sugar), dry white / red wines instead of rosé. Drink water between drinks and don’t start drinking on an empty stomach.

2. Seasonal Bounty:

• Embrace the abundance of seasonal fruits and veggies.

• Experiment with colorful salads and fresh, light meals featuring local produce.

3. Smart Grilling:

• Fire up the grill for delicious, lower-calorie meals.

4. Snack Strategically:

• Choose quality proteins and healthy fats to keep hunger at bay.

• Grab a handful of nuts, indulge in Greek yogurt, or snack on fresh fruits and veggies.

5. Mindful Eating:

• Slow down, savor each bite, and listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues.

• Avoid distractions like screens during meals to enhance mindful eating.

6. Chill with Cold Soups:
