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.

Music lean. Can't wait to get started. Let's do this. Danielle, I'm so excited to have you on the podcast today. You've been someone that I've just seen go from strength to strength.

You're on every live.

You're always talking about hopping on the peloton for first it was five minutes and now

you actually do like a full workout and you're actually at your goal weight and you've exceeded

that.

You've lost 18 pounds over the past few months.

So congratulations to start with thank you thank you

i'd love to hear a little bit about like your dieting history and what brought you to like where you

are today in terms of when you start first joined lean a plant okay so my dieting history i had to write this down because it was just, there was so much there.

You know, I grew up always very thin.

It was never, never an issue for me until probably college when I started to up and down and fluctuate a lot.

Then there were times where I noticed that I was gaining weight and I would do things like

buy a salad and split it between two meals instead of eating like three proper meals.

I had no idea what I was supposed to do.
