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.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. I had the absolute privilege of interviewing Joanne,

who went from struggling with her habits, not knowing how to get consistent to now knowing that she never is going to have to die again and actually losing more weight than she wanted to,

or what she was planning to, like even her post menopausal years this podcast

has so many nuggets of how to change your habits and hope of what can happen when you implement

true behavioral change i hope that you find this as inspiring as i did so can you tell me just a little

bit about your dieting history basically what led you to the point

of joining Lean of Plants?

Where did it all start?

Sure.

Okay.

So it's kind of a very long journey.

And I'll just start by saying that my passion has really become disease reversal through a whole food,

plant-based, low-fat lifestyle. And that started like way

back in 2011 when I read Dr. Neil Barnard's book, Reversing Diabetes. And it was the first time I had

ever heard that you could like reverse diabetes, a reverse heart disease with this lifestyle.
