| 0:00.0 | 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 |
| 0:21.9 | guarantee losing weight. If you are feeling frustrated and confused about where to start, |
| 0:28.6 | or you know exactly what you should be doing, but you just can't seem to rustle up enough |
| 0:34.1 | willpower to do it, then keep listening. In this podcast, you'll learn the truth about plant-based weight loss, but just as importantly, |
| 0:42.0 | how to use proven methods of behavioural change to turn what you know into lifelong habits |
| 0:48.0 | that lead to getting and staying lean. |
| 0:51.3 | Can't wait to get started. |
| 0:53.1 | Let's do this. |
| 1:03.2 | Thank you. lean. Can't wait to get started. Let's do this. Hello, welcome back to another episode of Lean of Plants. We are coming into the most wonderful time of the year. I am not a Christmas |
| 1:15.5 | person. I really don't love the kind of holiday period. I like the summer. It's beautiful |
| 1:23.4 | and sunny in New Zealand and we go to the beach lots and all that kind of thing. But I can't say that I love the kind of holiday season. |
| 1:31.3 | I'm a little bit like the Grinch. |
| 1:33.3 | One of the things about coming into this time of year is there is going to be so many events with family and friends |
| 1:41.3 | and you've got Christmas and Thanksgiving in the States and all of the delicious |
| 1:47.2 | goodness in between and a lot of people end up gaining weight this time of year. So this episode is |
| 1:54.3 | going to be all about strategies to deal with eating out with friends and family, how to avoid |
| 1:59.7 | that holiday weight gain, and what kind of goals to |
| 2:03.7 | set for yourself so that you feel like you can still make progress towards your goals and that they |
| 2:09.1 | don't just go to custard by the end of the year. And this is really important because it is a bit of |
| 2:16.2 | a tendency to give up from November to Christmas and just think, okay, I'll lose all the way in the new year. But if you're here listening to this podcast, you probably know by now that it's a lot easier to gain weight than it is to lose weight. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't be here. And if it was easier for you the other way around, then I would 100% listen to that |
