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

flipping fascinating. And it's essentially this idea that comes from a guy called Charles Munger,

which is rather than

solving for what are the character traits or what are the things that I need to do to succeed,

I simply invert that process and I go, well, what would guarantee that I fail? And then I'm just

going to avoid those things. Let me give you an example. If I was going to want to run a marathon, then I would

look and I'll be like, okay, so what would guarantee that I never ran a marathon? Rather than asking

myself, well, because running a marathon is hard, right? It's kind of hard to figure out, well,

how many days do I need to train? Like, what kind of shoes should I buy? Like there's so many things that you

might feel like you have to get right, but let's invert that process. What would guarantee that I
