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.

Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello. Hello there, my friend. Welcome back to the podcast. Let's have a little girl to girl, women to women, women to women, multiple personalities here, guys. Remember the Golem.

Chat today about how hard it is to lose weight.

I'm not talking about when you're stuffing your face with burgers and you're like,

oh, they can't lose weight. And I have no idea why. I'm talking about when you're doing everything right and the

scale is still not budging. Or you are trying your dandest to give up chocolate and your husband

keeps bringing it home and it is so hard. I'm talking about how sucky this can be that when you see your friends eating food that

you would kill for, they don't even freaking care. I see my friends eating chips and eating the

kind of foods that I'm like, you don't even appreciate that ice cream in your mouth

right now. Like, man, if I had that ice cream, I would be just doing some amazing things to that

ice cream. And you're just taking him for granted. Like, that's how I feel a lot of the time. And I

just don't think that it's talked about enough how hard this is.
