EXCLUSIVE: Summer shedding with Lola Berry
As our 12-Week Challenge nears its end, summer is just beginning—a boon for our Challengers, according to nutritionist Lola Berry. Her new book Lola Berry’s Summer Food (Plum, $24.99) is packed with tips for summer shedding.
Why is summer a good time to lose weight?
We naturally crave lighter foods and our appetite decreases, you're more inclined to want a salad over a heavy carb meal like pasta, so without even trying we lean up in the summer months.
What are your three simple steps to a summer detox?
Up the water, nettle tea (helps to stimulate a detox), then think loads of big salads, the more colour the more nutrients, and try using apple-cider vinegar in the dressing to further stimulate a digestive detox.
Name your favourite summer treat?
I make this thick caramel fudge mousse, it’s so yum!!
Your favourite summer workout?
Yoga or nature walks.
