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

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.

And just seeing how much of a badass she's

become is truly so inspiring especially to be able to do that in your 60s so without further ado

welcome pam so pam tell me a little bit about like your dieting history kind of give me a bit of a

background of who you were prior to losing these 18 pounds that you've lost in lane of plants.

Well, just to take a little way back to when I was about 20 and my family had always been very weight conscious.

So I had gained maybe five pounds and went on Weight Watchers because my sister and I remember going on weight watchers

and eating liver and hating it but that was on the plan so those are my early memories of dieting

and watching what I ate and through my 20s you know just exercising a lot so that I wouldn't
