Hello guys and welcome to the Lean of Plants podcast. I'm Chelsea, former overweight, healthy vegan,

confused about why I couldn't look like my favorite plant-based influences, even though I was

chugging back green smoothies every day. After a decade of unsustainable vegan diets,

I learned the truth about weight loss, lost 40 pounds,

and now I'm in the best shape of my life even after two kids.

Girl, if you've been struggling to drop the pounds as a vegan,

stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage, sick of yo-yo

dieting and going hungry, never being able to get and stay lean, then this is the podcast

for you. Each week I share the no BS truth about why vegan women are overweight, the action

steps to get you shedding fat and the

mindset you'll need to get slim for life. I'm stoked to have you here. Let's get started.

Happy New Year, Lean of Plants, podcast listeners.

This is 2021, the first episode of the new year.

We made it.

So if you're like most of the world, you're probably pretty excited to see 2020 gone.

And I'm going to make a big guess here, but I think you might be wanting to lose weight

if you're listening to this podcast.

Either that or you just think, man, Chelsea has this sexy New Zealand accent and the way

she stumbles over words and her marshmallow analogies,

that's just what keeps me listening.

Either way, like most people, you're probably thinking about this being your year.

And it's really normal at this time of year.
