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.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. I'm going to be sharing today a little bit about my story of why I went to vegan and talking about will I ever go back from that decision. Am I vegan for life? What have been the thought process involved in making that decision and a little bit of my story about a vegan diet specifically

and a plant-based diet and a little bit of the differences between them? Chances are that if you're

listening to this episode, you probably are vegan or you eat a mostly

plant-based diet.

But if you're thinking of making the switch, then hopefully this is going to give you some of the

tools or ideas and reasons why I think it's a really, really good thing to do.

And also address some of the reasons that people would go off a vegan diet

because I wanted to talk about that as well.

It's become more common for prominent vegan influences to go back on that decision and start

eating animal products again and it can be something that is met with a lot of indignation
