Description

BBQ wings, happy hour drinks, or Aunt Karen’s potato salad tempting you off track? On The Simply Fitness Podcast, I share how to crush social eating without derailing your fitness goals. Learn five friendly hacks: grab a protein snack before events, use the half-plate rule (veggies, protein, then fun foods), politely say “no thanks,” choose low-calorie drinks, and reframe the fun to focus on friends, not food. I spill on my own happy hour slip-ups and why one meal won’t ruin progress if you plan smart. Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy life guilt-free. Try a hack at your next event and DM your win to @maxucoaching! Tune in now to keep fitness simple! #SimplyFitnessPodcast
