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-sabotage, 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.

In this episode, we're going to be looking at the difference between calorie restriction and a calorie deficit.

And you've probably heard these two things talked about simultaneously, but it can be pretty

deficit to lose weight, but then also someone else saying, don't restrict your calories,

make sure that you're not calorie restricting, or don't that it's calorie restriction so what gives i'm going

to break that down in this episode so keep listening all right so first of all i really think it matters

to understand the difference between these two terms because if you don't you're going to stay

really confused about what to do
