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. I'm always thinking about why do some people see success in their weight loss or moving towards their goals and why do other people not?

I think this is probably the most open loop in my brain.

And I've had the amazing opportunity to observe not only what has worked for me and try and test a lot of things,

but also see what has worked for our clients inside of Lena

Plants over the last four or five years and the 2000 plus women that we've actually personally

had inside of our different programs and memberships and then also personally coached. And I think

there's eight things that you can do that are going to set yourself up to succeed in this new year where everyone is trying to think about New Year's resolutions.

Goals, they're looking at like, what can I achieve over this time?

But no matter what time of the year it is, the most important thing that you need to do, really the only thing that matters, the only thing that your goals

and achieving them hinge on is consistent right action. You have to do the things that lead to

results again and again and again long enough in order to see results and then you have to

maintain them as well. So we're going to talk about not just how to lose weight in this episode,

but how to actually set up systems that are going to carry you through past the weight loss so that you become the

kind of person in the process that actually keeps it off as well. Because where most of us fail is

that we get so focused on outcomes that we forget that we have

to become the person that actually maintains them.
