Summary

I tried almost every diet. High carb, low carb, raw till four, fully raw, counting calories, you name!! But nothing stuck until I learnt about calorie density and started stuffing my face with potatoes.In this episode I look back at my journey and the lessons learnt a long the way.

Losing 40lbs is no joke… but the real success for me is finally being able to maintain it, and know I can for life.

Be inspired about what’s possible.

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
0:22.0	guarantee losing weight. If you are feeling frustrated and confused about where to start,
0:28.7	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,
0:42.1	how to use proven methods of behavioural change to turn what you know into lifelong habits that

0:51.3	Can't wait to get started.

1:46.5	And I wanted to share this because, first and foremost, I always find people's origin stories
1:53.6	really interesting because it gives context and hope for what is possible.
2:01.5	And I also wanted to share because right now, if I'm really honest, the things that I'm
2:08.0	going through or my mental health or how do I say this, things feel heavy.
2:15.1	And so I really want to just talk about coping mechanisms. And I love the
2:20.6	idea of having a podcast that is very full of hope that is very about the changes that you can make
2:28.4	and it's very positive and it's very proactive. But I'm also aware that there are a lot of people
2:33.3	like me who find their life hard and they
2:37.7	have a lot of circumstances which mean that even when things get better even when you do lose weight
