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.

Lily, thank you so much for hopping on the podcast today.

I'm super excited to hear more about your

story. You've lost about 25 pounds over the last year. You've become a super consistent runner,

made some amazing changes in your habits. I'm just excited to kind of hear a little bit more about

that. Before we get started, can you tell us a little bit about who you are and your dieting history?

So my name is Lily.

I live in Ireland.

I was born in France.

I'm originally from the French Caribbean in Guadalupe.

But I moved to Ireland like 10, 11 years ago.

And I had to think about my diet in history.
