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,

or you know exactly what you should be doing, but you just can't seem to rustle up enough

willpower to do it, then keep listening. In this podcast, you'll learn the

truth about plant-based weight loss, but just as importantly, how to use proven methods of

behavioural change to turn what you know into lifelong habits that lead to getting and staying

lean. Can't wait to get started. Let's do this.

Hello, hello, welcome to the podcast. I am pumped to be talking to you about how to make change that actually lasts over the year. And I've called this episode a year of change because

I believe that true change does take a bit of time and as amazing as it would be to see how quickly you could get results.

And you can get results quite fast when you start to change your diet.

Realistically, the year is what builds habits.

And one thing that I always say to my daughter, my daughter is really funny because she

likes the idea of being a skater and she'll watch skate video, she'll watch me, and she'll

always say something like, when I'm six or when I'm seven, I'll be as good as this person. And she has this

perception that when she's older and when time is past, she'll be better. And I always say,

yeah, possibly you can, but what that's going to require is a lot of practice and the reason that you will get better

if you do is because you would have put in a whole lot of repetitions and really that's what

significant time gives us is it gives us proof that we put in the reps consistently enough that there are enough

trials and tribulations along the way that we're still going to stand firm and so I want you to be

thinking as you're going into this episode that your journey weight loss and habits building fitness

whatever it is that is causing you to listen to this weird

kiwi you're going to give yourself a longer timeline than what you'd like let's think about this
