Hello guys and welcome to the Lean of Plants podcast. I'm Chelsea, former overweight, healthy vegan,

confused about why I couldn't look like my favorite plant-based influences even though I was

chugging back green smoothies every day. After a decade of unsustainable vegan diets,

I learned the truth about weight loss, lost 40 pounds,

and now I'm in the best shape of my life even after two kids.

Girl, if you've been struggling to drop the pounds as a vegan,

stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage, sick of yo-yo

Each week I share the no BS truth about why vegan women are overweight, the action steps

to get you shedding fat and the

mindset you'll need to get slim for life. I'm stoked to have you here. Let's get started.
