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. Welcome to the podcast. I'm so excited for this episode because I had the absolute privilege

of interviewing Jordan, who has lost 37 pounds with the power of potatoes and vegetables.

This is after decades of struggling with her weight, yo-yo dieting, so many different types

of diets, and then finally being able to put this all

together and lose in a way that she knows she will never have to gain that way back.

One of the things that's also super interesting about this episode is that Jordan is a habitual

traveler. She goes camping. She goes on adventures pretty much every single week. She's out of her home

environment all of the time. She's not just living on potatoes and broccoli when she's at home.

She's actually eating consistently out of her house as well. So super insightful things.

Lots of mindset shifts here and I can't wait to dive into the episode. Let's go. I'd love to hear

from you, Jordan, just like a little bit about your dieting history, what kind of led you to

wanting to lose weight and where you were at. So I, I guess maybe we'll start early, early days,

because I kind of grew up as the bigger girl. I was always like I did lots

of sports, but I was usually like the bigger one on the team, like bottom of the pyramid and

cheerleading, like all all those kind of like cliches, but that was me. And I probably from

starting at age 11, I felt like something was wrong with me.
