What is going on, everyone? Welcome to another episode of the fit, healthy, and most of all happy podcast. I'm your coach and host, Josh, here with his co-host and co-coach, KG, and I'm in the house. Today we got an amazing episode for you. I'm going to let Kyle take point here because he planned this one out. This is something he really wants to get out there. And frankly, I agree, you know, this is something need to be said. So what are we going to be talking about today, Kyle? So today we're going to talk about not only how to lose weight, but also keep it off. This is going to be our full comprehensive guide of just everything that you need to know. And the reason I wanted to really talk about this and just have an honest conversation,

you know, even if you're someone who potentially isn't overweight, even if you have five to 10

pounds to lose, I truly believe that every single tip here will help you out. And I just,

I feel like this needs to be said. So after doing some research recently, you know, especially with

COVID and everything, I've actually found that the obesity rate is now up to over 40%. It's closer to the 45% mark, as well as the overweight

rate is now approaching 80% in America. So I just feel like this needs to be said, the tips that,

you know, and especially if you go on Instagram, if you search like for actual fitness advice and nutrition advice, like there's a whole lot of nonsense here. You already know if you've

been listening to Josh and myself or even if this is your first episode, we do not give you

nonsense. We do not sugarcoat things. We're here to give you the real honest truth. And that's why we

started coaching. And that's why we started this podcast is to be real and upfront with you. So let's jump into what most people focus on. Someone wants to

lose weight. They want to lose 30, 40 pounds. They're going to just start doing the most drastic things

that will never work in the long run. You want to give a few examples of what most people focus on?

Most people focus just on all the wrong things. You know, it's a natural tendency. I mean, I'm the same run. You want to give a few examples of what most people focus on? Most people focus just on all

the wrong things. You know, it's a natural tendency. I mean, I'm the same way. Like, if I want to get something done in my head, I'm like, what's the easiest, fastest, you know, least struggle, struggling way to do it. And, you know, the problem with that is I can prime your mind to just look to a bunch of these more gimmicky solutions. There's a meme I saw that was pretty funny.

You know, it was like that big ship that got stuck there and they're like the little excavator trying to dig it out. And it said like fat burners was a little thing. And then the big ship was weight loss. You know, like it's just funny because people look for these little, little components to try and solve a large problem problem and the honest truth to losing weight and keeping it off is you need an overhaul of your

fitness and health you don't need to never eat junk food again you don't need to you know take a ton

of supplements you don't need to do these weird cleanses to jump into the latest diet phase you know

that's not it at all. Those are very short-term

solutions. If they're even solutions, you know, I don't even know if I'd go as far to call it that. But once again, I can't really blame people for wanting to do these things. Like, you know, the thought of, oh, if I put this little sticky thing on my stomach and it electrocutes it a little bit and it burns off my fat and I have apps like I wish I mean if that was a thing you know I'd be

talking about it all day and tomorrow but it just really isn't the case so you really need to narrow in on like what's important and kind of block out the noise because it's just it's an easy thing and it's almost a fallacy to get caught up in this minutia and then to be upset when it doesn't have

lasting results you know because you've done these quick solutions even you know i was watching one

of our favorite YouTubers um we both uh like watching vlog creations these funny dudes from
