Hello, welcome to the Lean of Plants podcast. My name is Chelsea and if you are struggling to lose weight on a plant-based diet, then this podcast is for you. While there are thousands of books, podcasts and resources about the benefits of a plant-based diet, the reality is that being vegan does not

guarantee losing weight. If you are feeling frustrated and confused about where to start,

or you know exactly what you should be doing, but you just can't seem to rustle up enough

willpower to do it, then keep listening. In this podcast, you'll learn the

truth about plant-based weight loss, but just as importantly, how to use proven methods of

behavioural change to turn what you know into lifelong habits that lead to getting and staying

lean. Can't wait to get started. Let's do this. Have you ever wondered why some people can make continual progress towards their goals, why they are

able to keep moving forward and they're able to do things for the long term, they're able to

achieve really, really big goals and why some people who are actually much more smart are not.

Have you ever wondered this? Because it's something

that is on my mind a lot of the time. Why quite often people who are less smart than I am are

achieving more than I am. Like they're less smart, they're less connected. They don't have as

many things that are going for them as I do. And yet they're able to achieve more than me and they're less connected. They don't have as many things that are going for them as I do, and yet

they're able to achieve more than me, and they're able to achieve it faster than me. It's a question

that I always have, and I know the answer to it, and those are what we're going to talk about in

this podcast. But imagine if you could go from living life on hard mode to living life on easy mode.

Imagine if the things that you had to do that were going to get you to your goals were just

simply easier. You felt like they were easier. Would it make it more enjoyable to move towards

your goals? Would it make it easier? I mean, I believe yes. And I think we can live life on hard mode

or we can live life on easy mode or we can live life on easy mode

because we're always going to be able to, we're always going to have to do difficult things if we want to achieve phenomenal things.

Like, phenomenal things require significant effort. Mediocre things are going to require mediocre effort.
