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

guarantee losing weight. If you are feeling frustrated and confused about where to start,

cycle. Everything changed for me when I understood a few of the concepts that I'm going to share

with you. And so this was inspired by a CS Lewis quote that I was talking to my best friend Amy this morning with at the gym.

And we were talking about the fact that like a lot of the time you might have an idea of where

you want to go. You might have an idea of what you want to do. You might want to lose like 30 pounds.

Or you might want to be healthy. Or maybe you're just like, oh, like, I want to be healthy

for my grandkids. I hear that one a lot. Or I want to be able to avoid heart disease. I want to

be able to be in a healthy BMI. So we have these kind of ideas of where we want to go. But then we've
