Hello guys and welcome to the Lean of Plants podcast. I'm Chelsea, former overweight, healthy vegan,

confused about why I couldn't look like my favorite plant-based influences, even though I was

chugging back green smoothies every day. After a decade of unsustainable vegan diets,

I learned the truth about weight loss, lost 40 pounds,

and now I'm in the best shape of my life even after two kids.

Girl, if you've been struggling to drop the pounds as a vegan,

stuck in a cycle of self-savitage, sick of yo-yo

dieting and going hungry, never being able to get and stay lean, then this is the podcast

for you. Each week I share the no BS truth about why vegan women are overweight, the action

steps to get you shedding fat and the

mindset you'll need to get slim for life. I'm stoked to have you here. Let's get started.

What's up guys? Welcome back to another podcast episode. I just want to say I am so freaking excited to be talking to you today about this topic. It is one of my favorite topics in the world

and that is how to make progress easier, which inevitably speeds up results.

This is going to help you enjoy the process more. It's going to remove obstacles to it being so

hard to see that consistent progress over time. Everyone goes on about needing more motivation and willpower and just go out there

and do it. And I've heard this such a stupid phrase. I hate this phrase so, so much. Passionate me.

This is a rant coming out. I hate that phrase where people are like if you wanted it more,

you'd have it. And it's simply not true. So if you've been feeling like you want to be able to make

progress without as much effort, you want to remove some of the effort, then this is going to be

the episode for you. Listen up, my friend. So for so many years, I thought that the problem with me

not losing weight was that I lacked motivation. And I would look at people who had the results that I wanted.

They were consistent in their diet.
