The goal of the HigherUp Podcast is to share Easily implementable ways to improve your life that do not involve turning life as you know it onto its head. In this episode, I go over what I believe to be the five things you can to do make a fat loss phase effortless. I refer to them as "levers" because they give us leverage over the calorie deficit which at times, can be challenging. If you implement these tools however, you are much more likely to be successful in your fat loss journey and enjoy the process while you do it. The 5 levers are: 1. Protein 2. Food Volume 3. Water 4. Movement 5. Sleep If you got just one valuable thing out of this, please like, comment, and subscribe to the channel. I would sincerely appreciate it.
