Summary
If you’ve been stuck, doing “everything right” but still not seeing change, this episode will shift how you see your entire weight loss journey.
You don’t need a new diet or more motivation, you need clarity about the direction you’re heading. Because every choice you make is a tiny vote for who you’re becoming.
In this episode I'll break down the four stages that shape lasting transformation:
🌱 Ignorance — when you don’t know why nothing’s working
💡 Truth — understanding how physics, energy, and calories actually work
💭 Acceptance — letting go of resistance and wishing it were easier
⚡️ Action — learning to steer your habits with intention instead of emotion
You’ll learn how to stop arguing with reality, face the truth with compassion, and finally create a system that aligns your daily choices with your long-term goals.
Because progress doesn’t happen from one big decision. It comes from hundreds of small directional choices that shape who you are becoming.
If you’re ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.

| 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 |
| 0:21.9 | guarantee losing weight. If you are feeling frustrated and confused about where to start, |
| 0:28.6 | 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 |
| 0:38.7 | truth about plant-based weight loss, but just as importantly, how to use proven methods of |
| 0:44.1 | behavioural change to turn what you know into lifelong habits that lead to getting and staying |
| 0:49.9 | lean. Can't wait to get started. Let's do this. |
| 1:16.0 | Hello and welcome to the podcast. We are going to talk about what to do when you are doing everything right and you're still not losing weight. |
| 1:19.9 | Spoiler alert, you're probably not doing everything right because you're not losing weight. |
| 1:23.5 | So let's talk about what that looks like, how to actually overcome that. |
| 1:29.7 | It's a position that most women will be in either at some point or they've experienced so far i've definitely experienced that i genuinely thought for probably about 10 years when i was dieting |
| 1:36.6 | that like i was doing all the right things weight loss was always slow for me and i always thought |
| 1:41.7 | that it was like especially slow. I always thought that my metabolism |
| 1:45.5 | was especially broken, that I would watch people online who were eating all kinds of things like |
| 1:52.0 | vegan curries and cookies and even just normal things like rice and potatoes. And I was very convinced |
| 1:58.6 | that I couldn't eat that way and still lose weight. |
| 2:02.6 | So I thought things had to be very extreme for me personally. |
| 2:06.5 | I thought that if it didn't feel difficult, then I wasn't going to see success. |
| 2:10.7 | But even when I was doing everything right, my success was always short-lived. |
| 2:15.1 | And there was many, many times where my results were so slow or nearly |
| 2:20.1 | negligible and it was frustrating. And I realized and learned that you can actually lose weight in a way |
| 2:27.3 | that is simple. It's the easiest that it can possibly be and you can see results. And you can also |
