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,

grateful for, but I definitely feel that the days I do that, I'm more present, I'm, I'm just having a happier life. And I've talked about that

in other episodes as well. Today we're going to be talking about why I started eating processed food

again. And this is a bit of a personal story episode for those who have been following along on my journey,
