Summary
What I'm teaching my daughters about body image and food... lots of nuggets, and some controversial opinions, I believe this is going to be helpful whether you're a parent or not...
Here’s a sneak peek of what to expect:
I DON'T hold beauty as a value metric. I don't call my kids pretty or cute. I don't call myself beautiful or believe I need to I don't think stretch marks or loose skin or rolls are beautiful or that it matters. I don't think every woman has to be beautiful because beauty is just wrapping paper. I'm trying hard to come against a beauty-obsessed culture by saying screw it rather than expanding my view of what 'beauty' means.
Tune in to hear this and more about how to raise kids who view food and their bodies WELL!!

| 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 |
| 0:48.0 | that lead to getting and staying lean. |
| 0:51.3 | Can't wait to get started. |

| 1:08.1 | Thank you. lean. Can't wait to get started. Let's do this. Hello, welcome to the episode. I'm super excited for this one because we're going to be talking |
| 1:12.7 | about what I'm teaching my children about body image, relationships with food, and the goals |
| 1:20.5 | that I have for them so that they can enter adulthood without the hangats that most of us have |
| 1:26.3 | around dieting. |
| 1:28.1 | I wanted to talk about this for a long time. |
| 1:31.4 | I've always felt it's a little bit out of my realm |
| 1:33.6 | because it's kind of diving into parenting. |
| 1:35.9 | But what I've realized is that for a lot of women, |
| 1:39.8 | we're so concerned with not wanting to bring those hangups that we have and the associations |
| 1:47.6 | that we have around food and dieting that we saw our parents' generation or for a lot of |
| 1:53.1 | people their moms do. |
| 1:54.2 | We don't want to bring that into our kids' lives. |
| 1:56.6 | And so it becomes a constraint for actually how you show up and you diet and you eat the foods that you want to eat. |
| 2:05.0 | You eat broccoli. |
