What is going on? Welcome to the fit, healthy, and happy podcast. I'm your host, Josh, here with my co-host. KG in the hizzy. He's in the hizzy today. I'm in the hizzy today. Wicah wick-a-wook-a-wa. So today we got a really fun episode that everyone is going to love. And it's simple, but it's also very complex. So we're going to go over the really obvious things,

and then we're going to go over some of the things that you know you might not have thought of.

So this episode is going to be called an easy way to lose fat, explain.

So we notice it trends really well on YouTube.

So if you clicked it, obviously you want to know the easy way to lose fat.

And obviously, you know know we're not into click

bait per se but losing weight is easy if you do nail down the simple thing and that is to be in a deficit

so that's what it comes down to at the end of the day it won't be easy if you're not able to achieve

this deficit but the easiest thing and the easiest way to understand a deficit is there's two ways to do this. Now, if you're thinking this is kind of basic, I don't know if I want to listen to this. Stay with me. You know, we're going to get into some of the nuances as well as some different, you know, thought exercises to have success with this. So the two ways to do it are to actually decrease your intake or increase your output. So on the surface,

those are the two easiest things. So intake, we won't spend as much time on because we want to

spend more time on output today. But in terms of intake is what you're consuming. So how much food

you are actually eating. Now, where this is kind of a misnomer, if you think about it, is you actually

want to eat more to lose weight now kyle's saying

what is this guy's saying and what i mean by that is an easy way to actually increase your intake

is it or sorry to decrease your intake is to decrease your actual caloric intake right we're not talking

about volume here so if you were to eat if i said listen this is why i think people love plant If I said, eat as many plants as you want it, Kyle, that's all. He's going to end up losing a lot of weight relative to what he normally does because he's normally having, you know, pastas, rice, whole grains, you know, beefs, porks, things like that, per the volume of the food, are actually going to be a lot more dense in calories than things like vegetables. So if you want to be in a deficit, yes, the easiest thing is slash calories, but a lot of people kind of need to reframe everything to eat more vegetables, eat more protein, because these foods are going to have increased satiety. So there's actually two different ways to look at that. And a lot of people just look at his cut calories. But if you're cutting calories,

like let's say I'm eating 3,350 right now, which I am, and I want to start a heavy diet, you know, I cut myself to 25 really quick. And I go, okay, so for today, I have enough budget for my one medium pizza that I eat each day. I'm going to be starving, just eating that one basic thing each day whereas with with $2,500, you know, I could eat five really good portioned out,

you know, 500 calorie meal preps full of, you know, leafy greens, lean meats,

and a small source of carbs.

And that's going to actually have me feeling more satisfied and full,

but allow me to actually reach my energy levels that I'm allowed of that 2,500, have success, have the satisfaction from the vegetables, the protein, have more micronutrients in my system and have me feeling better. So that's the easiest way to kind of control your input, your intake here. So that's just the number one, but we want to focus more on the output today because I think this is what a lot of people neglect.

Too many people get caught up on calories. And as important as it is, there's more factors to that. So you want to kind of jump into that output? Yeah. So I just want to add on also a lot of the times, you know, the biggest thing is people will say, hey, I'm in a calorie deficit. I'm, you know, eating this much, I'm burning this much, and I'm not losing weight.
