On Monday, June 23rd, we're starting the 6 Week Summer Challenge TOGETHER! If you haven't already joined the Challenge, you can grab the deets on how to get started HERE.
To help prepare, scroll down for my official Summer Challenge Checklist!
1. Grab your Meal Plan.
This year, I've released a BRAND NEW, LIMITED RELEASE 6 Week Summer Meal Plan focused on burning fat while eating the healthiest foods in the world!!
You can grab the Summer Meal Plan HERE to use for the Challenge.
If you're new and this is your first Challenge, I HIGHLY recommend opting for the Beginner Bundle, which includes the 7 Day Detox, Body Recomposition Program and 6 Week Summer Meal Plan [2025 edition].
The information in the 7 Day Detox and the Body Recomposition Program will be crucial in order to get the most out of your 6 Week Summer Meal Plan.
You can find the Beginner Bundle HERE.
2. Set a goal.
This doesn't have to be weight loss, but make it something measurable. Even if it's "stick to the protocols throughout the entire 6 weeks of the challenge" or "hit my daily protein needs", then that's a great goal!
If your goal is weight loss, I've found it useful to take a baseline body fat/muscle mass test and photos. This will help you get more accurate information regarding your progress than a typical scale. You can find recommendations for how to track your progress in the new 6 Week Summer Meal Plan.
3. Grab your protein
Protein is essential to burning fat while keeping muscle.
For a delicious zero added sugar protein powder, stock up on my Pasture-Raised Protein HERE.
You'll be whipping up delish, protein-packed meals with it like my Summer Protein Yogurt Bowl, Chocolate Coffee Smoothie, Layered Jammy Chia Pudding and PB&J Brekky Bowl alllll summer long 😋

4. Join the AEN Private Facebook Group.
This is an excellent way to keep yourself accountable and share your journey throughout the Challenge with thousands of other AENpeeps. Head over HERE and say hello!

5. Join me LIVE on YouTube every week of the Challenge!
I'll be going LIVE on YouTube each week of the Summer Challenge to share with you additional tips, strategies and recipes AND some live Q+A! Make sure you're subscribed to my channel HERE with notifications turned on so you don't miss out!
The first YouTube livestream will be held on Monday, June 23rd.
And that's it! You're all set! I can't wait to kick off the Summer Challenge with you! Don't forget to grab your Summer Meal Plan HERE to get started!
❤️ Autumn
