Summary
Lets get into myth busting! There's so much information out there when it comes to health and wellness that it can get very confusing for us to understand. Many views are polarising, blown out of proportion, misunderstood and yet so many studies seem to back up every single opinion so you end up not being sure what to believe.
This week I will be breaking down and discussing the 5 most common health and wellness myths that I hear on a daily basis when it comes to weight loss that I feel need putting to bed once and for all.
Some of these myths include, that you need large amounts of protein, it's much harder to lose weight as you age, carbohydrates make you fat, fat makes you fat and willpower is the most important factor for weight loss.

| 0:00.0 | 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 |
| 0:22.0 | guarantee losing weight. If you are feeling frustrated and confused about where to start, |
| 0:28.7 | or you know exactly what you should be doing, but you just can't seem to rustle up enough |
| 0:34.1 | willpower to do it, then keep listening. In this podcast, you'll learn the truth about plant-based weight loss, but just as importantly, |
| 0:42.1 | how to use proven methods of behavioural change to turn what you know into lifelong habits that |
| 0:48.3 | lead to getting and staying lean. |
| 0:51.3 | Can't wait to get started. |
| 0:53.1 | Let's do this. |
| 1:07.9 | Music lean. Can't wait to get started. Let's do this. Hello and welcome to the Lent Plants podcast. I'm super stoked that you're here. Thank you for putting me |
| 1:12.0 | in your ear right now, whether you're out on a run or you're in your car. Let's get into this episode. |
| 1:18.0 | We're going to be talking about five health and wellness myths that need to die. They've been around for a while. |
| 1:26.1 | And there are things that are either wildly blown |
| 1:28.2 | out of proportion in terms of how important they are to you losing weight or the things that |
| 1:34.1 | are just really, really misunderstood. And I think it's pretty important to understand what the |
| 1:39.5 | big rocks are in terms of whether you're going to lose weight or not. Big rocks analogy being where |
| 1:46.2 | if you want to fill a jar fully up, then you've got to put those big rocks in first before |
| 1:51.8 | you put the sand and the silt and the little tiny rocks so that you actually fit those big rocks in. |
| 1:57.5 | These are the things that are going to have the most impact on you getting into a |
| 2:02.0 | calorie deficit and consistently losing weight and then being able to maintain that. And these |
| 2:08.4 | things are not the big rocks. So it's pretty important to know that. I think that for most people, |
| 2:14.9 | they end up being an distraction. And I think one of the biggest |
| 2:17.8 | issues when it comes to behavioral change is focusing on too many things that don't matter much. |
