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

0:34.1

willpower to do it, then keep listening. In this podcast, you'll learn the

Let's take a little walk down memory lane.

1:08.5

I want you to picture the last time that you started really strong on a diet.

1:39.6

and then they just completely fizzled out in my life. I didn't keep going. And I'm very,

1:46.5

very happy to say that the way that I approach things now, both in my personal life, with my food,

1:51.3

with my business, with my habits, with my hobbies, is much more about looking for something

1:57.0

called continuous improvement, which is called Kaizen. And we're going to talk about

2:01.8

Kaisen today. I've already done a podcast episode on this, like a few years ago, but it's an

2:06.1

amazing concept that I use every single day in my life. I constantly go back to Kaisen as a way

2:13.1

to move forward and make incremental progress, because it is one of the few things that has been shown
