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.

they are formed, they become so embedded in what we do that they're very hard to break. The difficulty

of habits is that once they have formed, they are very hard to break. So everything that we're doing

right now is because of

habits. If you pick up a drink and have something when you're thirsty, if you put on a jumper

when you're cold, if you put your seatbelt on in the car, if you brush your teeth at night,

if you go past a drive through and then you drive in and you get

something. All of those things are habits. They're things that you don't really have to think about
