Train With Amba

08/06/2026

My client spent last summer hiding. Kaftan on by the pool. Avoiding the camera. Spending a week somewhere beautiful and not really being there — because she was too in her head about how she looked. She came to me not because she wanted to be a certain size. She came because she was tired of her body being the thing that stopped her from enjoying her life.

Here’s what we changed:

↳ Stopped the classes and cardio-only approach — built her a structured strength programme

↳ Set her calorie and protein targets — she’d been undereating and had no idea

↳ Weekly check-ins so nothing drifted for more than 7 days

↳ Education about her body so she understood what was happening, not just what to do

The physical changes came. But the bigger shift was in how she thought about herself. She messaged me from holiday this year and said it was the first time in years she’d actually enjoyed the pool. Not because her body was perfect. Because she felt proud of what it could do — and that changed how she carried herself entirely.

That is what this summer can look like for you.

For years I thought feeling good on holiday meant earning it first.

Restrict for weeks before. Cut back hard. Do extra cardio. Arrive having “done the work.”
And then spend the holiday swinging between guilt and bingeing because my body had been starved for weeks and was making up for it the moment I relaxed.

I thought the problem was me. That I just didn’t have enough discipline to hold it together.
It wasn’t me. It was the approach.

When you chronically restrict before a holiday your body arrives depleted, flat and running on empty. The moment you eat normally it stores aggressively. The hunger you’ve been suppressing comes back harder than ever. And the restrict-binge-spiral-restart cycle begins again.
I know this because I lived it. And I know what breaks it — because I’ve coached hundreds of women out of it.

It’s not restriction. It’s structure. Understanding what your body needs before your holiday so you arrive feeling strong, not depleted. And knowing how to handle food on holiday so you can enjoy every meal without it becoming a write-off.

That’s what the Summer Survival Guide is built around.

You feel fine until the second you think about the gym. Then suddenly you’re exhausted. That’s not tiredness

If tomorrow has been the day for three weeks, I need you to hear this

The crash diet before holiday. Cutting to 1,200 calories. Skipping meals.

Doing extra cardio. Trying to shrink as fast as possible before you get on that plane. I know why you do it.

You want to feel your best on holiday. You want to feel confident in a bikini. You want the weeks of effort to show.

But here’s what’s actually happening when you crash diet before a holiday:
↳ Your body breaks down muscle for fuel — not fat
↳ Your metabolism downregulates to match the low intake
↳ You arrive on holiday depleted, flat, exhausted and starving
↳ The moment you eat normally, your body stores aggressively — it’s been in stress mode
↳ You bloat faster and harder than you would have if you’d never restricted
↳ The hunger drives you toward everything you’d been avoiding — and the binge begins

The crash diet before holiday doesn’t just not work. It sets up the exact spiral you were trying to avoid.

What works instead: a moderate, structured deficit in the weeks before. Enough to create genuine progress. Not so extreme that you arrive broken.

That’s in the Summer Survival Guide — along with what to do on holiday and how to come back without losing everything.
