Welcome to Slight Calorie Deficit Summer! Welcome to part 1 of our 3-part series: Slight Calorie Deficit Summer. In this episode, we're kicking off the series by tackling one of the biggest weight loss roadblocks for busy moms: weekends. It’s been a common theme among my clients lately that they can stick to a routine Monday through Friday, but then the weekends throw them off. Between kids’ sports, running errands, birthday parties, and date nights, the calories creep in and the scale stays stuck. But don’t worry. You’ve got time to turn this around and enjoy your summer weekends while still losing weight. In this episode, you'll learn how to stop winging your weekends, create a simple plan that actually works in real life, and use the 80/20 approach to enjoy summer while still moving toward your weight loss goals. Here's the truth: summer comes every year. If you want sustainable weight loss, you've got to learn how to navigate the season without starting over every September. Ready? Let's dive in. What You'll Learn in This Episode:
Why your weekend habits matter more than you think The surprising math behind why the scale gets stuck How just two high-calorie weekend days can erase your weekly calorie deficit Why planning your weekend starts on Monday—not Friday How to use the 80/20 approach during summer events and vacations Simple food swaps that save calories without feeling restrictive Why "saving up" calories for later backfires The breakfast and lunch habits that help prevent weekend overeating How to enjoy ice cream, cocktails, and restaurant meals while still making progress The key question to ask yourself before every summer weekend A supplement and a guide that may help you make more progress
