Thank you for keeping it real Chelsea! I now understand that calorie deficit is the key! It took me a long time to wrap my brain around that concept. You’re content is so very helpful!

Now seems to be going off the deep end. The vegan weight loss part is great. BUT the woo-woo stuff has gone wonky. Tread carefully.

Stumbling upon Chelsea’s YouTube channel has me changing my eating habits - I’m ready to start my muscle mommy era though! Excited to be following <3

I started out watching her YouTube videos and loved her realistic and logical approach to weight loss and healthy eating. I’m not vegan but I think her approach could work for everyone. Very informative and motivating.

Chelsea’s information is so unbelievably helpful! I especially love the information regarding habit change - it’s the missing piece for weight loss, and every other area of your life. Please don’t ever stop talking about habits, Chelsea!! Also - the failure episode is pure GOLD.

I sent the failure podcast to three people! I want to listen again and take notes even. I’m hoping to be able to discuss this with other people because the insight is so deep. I have learned to appreciate Chelsea because she gets to the root.

Thank You Chelsea! Been following on youtube and Insta for a while. Love your podcasts even more! helpful and insightful. very inspiring in all levels. Your authenticity always shines through. You're doing an amazing service!

I love Chelsea’s podcast because she teaches you not how to lose weight but how to grow habits that allow you to maintain weight loss.

There are always useful and wise nuggets of information from Chelsea’s episodes. Her candor and thoughtful content make for an interesting listen - and she helps motivate me!

This podcast is great and there is lots of good info. I like the way Chelsea breaks it down into doable steps. And the info can be used by either men or women. You won’t regret listening.

I love this podcast and how it has help change and shape my thinking. Yes it is a weight loss podcast - but it is more about habits. Habits are what make our lives up. If we change our habits then we can change our lives. This podcast and Chelsea specifically give you applicable tools to help you change your habits and thus life. Please give her a listen you won’t regret it!

This podcast is so practical and helpful! The episode from 3/20/23 called “Overachievers and Habits” was enlightening for me, and I’m not even vegan. :) She says, “It’s not about lowering standards so much as it is setting your goals and your standards of achievement around behaviors that serve you, not results that are fickle and latent anyway.” This kind of got me out of a mental rut with habits and motivation. Thank you!

I stumbled upon this program about a month ago. What a breath of fresh air. I LOVE this, and the insights indifferent approaches Chelsea provides are so refreshing and apt. I don’t know which of these programs are my favorite — they all just expand my mind. Throughout it all, Chelsea adopts a “no excuses” approach to making important changes. One of her most compelling lines is “I don’t care if you like me.” She’s not here to tell you want you want to hear, but more what we all need to hear. The laziness factor that she describes is also very powerful and at the source of much of why we don’t change. Keep up the great work, Chelsea. I will reach out to you to become a client.

Chelsea is reasonable and realistic when it comes to weight loss.

Let me say Chelsea, you have grown a lot in the last couple of years. I am super greatful for your Pod Casts on loosing weight on plants! This week I started eating your 660 calorie overnight oats and you are right, it makes you full and keeps you that way for hours. The made it to 1 lb of veggies with some potatoes and tofu. Cooking potatoes and tofu a head of time is a must. So the result is a two pound dip in weight. I was just under 1800 calories. I am also lifting 3x’s a week, hiking 2x’s a week and swimming 3x’s a week totaling 3 miles a week. All this to say you are encouraging, courageous and truthful in what you say. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😊

If you’re ready to stop searching for the next quick fix, this is it. Simple principles, broken down in a clear and empowering way. Every episode reinforces the a-ha moment I experienced when I first found LWP. Look forward to hearing from Chelsea every week!

This podcast is so motivating and inspirational, not only for anyone trying to lose weight but if you are just trying to make some positive changes in your life and create new habits. Chelsea is so open and relatable to real life that you feel like you’re sitting with a friend who is your biggest cheerleader.

By far the most empowering, balanced and truthful vegan weight loss podcast and content. Been vegan yo-yo dieting for over 3.5 years knowing what to eat to lose weight with calorie density…but couldn’t do it. This podcast and Chelsea’s knowledge in mindset and habit change is what’s actually helped me implement it in my own life and actually start to lose the weight for good and keep it off. Thank you Chelsea!

Chelsea is incredible! Her knowledge base on behavior change & how she articulates is profound. It’s how I lost 30lb & kept it off for 3 years. Love her!

This podcast has helped me lose about 50lbs of my 75lbs weight loss. After my pregnancy I gained 50lbs back and felt hopeless, like I would never get back to my pre pregnancy weight. The tough love and challenging of my ideologies from this podcast, has helped Loose almost all the weight (5 ish pounds from pre pregnancy weight). I’ve set bigger goals for myself and am making big life and habit changes. Thank you!

I LOVE this podcast! From her accent, her tangents, and science based information she is a delight to listen to. I am currently binging from the very beginning and have only reached July 2020. I hope that absolutely nothing changes!

I enjoy listening to Chelsea Mae’s outlook on the importance of mindset and habit formation in creating lifelong changes, applicable not only in the arenas of nutrition and exercise but in many other areas as well.

The latest episode (The weird mindset …) is a MUST LISTEN for anyone struggling with how to make behavioral changes in order to reach goals. I’m a long time listener and absolutely love every one of Chelsea’s episodes, but this one could not have come at a better time for me. I feel like I have the knowledge I need to not only make progress with behavioral change in my personal life but also my professional life. Thank you Chelsea!

I'm not even vegan, and I absolutely love this podcast! Such common sense advice about calories and nutrition. Highly recommend!!

Truer words! Chelsea gets it. She understands putting in the work to become successful. Creating systems and all the other LIFE tools she shares are invaluable. Do yourself a favor. Listen to this even if you are not a vegan/plant based person! 👏♥️

The thing about the Lean With Plants podcast is that it’s not just my health it helps me grow but my business. I’m an entrepreneur who is conscious about my health. That’s why I found Lean With Plants. But I am so grateful that listening to this podcast encourages me not only in my health, but in my business. The last episode I listen to was how to make hard things easier. Not that hard things should be easy. But that they are hard and they are going to be hard, and I just need to find the way that I can make them enjoyable for myself. That I can set proper expectations. And so I have. I said that I will work out at 2 o’clock every day. And I will continue to keep this mindset as I figure out how to do the hard things in my business. Thank you, Chelsea. You are amazing!

I just love Chelsea and this podcast. I find her advice so inspiring yet practical. She is down-to-earth and she states the truth. Thank you, Chelsea, for continuing to make content, and thank you for making goals feel achievable.

Find food freedom, sustainable progress, and healthy habits by following the behavior change principles in the Lean with Plants podcast. After listening to every single episode (and repeating a few of my favorites more than once) I can confidently proclaim that you can change your life by shifting your habits, starting small and prioritizing consistency and start seeing amazing results no matter how bleak your future seems based on your dieting history.

Aside from the amazing vegan weight loss advice Chelsea spits out gems and makes me view life from another perspective. I really do enjoy when the podcast strays from just weight loss alone and she talks about habit formation, parenting(I’m not even a parent - lol), and how to find happiness and fulfillment. After all, these things are more connected than one may think. She doesn’t sugarcoat things and is refreshingly honest. I’d love even more episodes on how to live a fulfilling and worthwhile life.

Broccoli Mum is one of my absolute favorite YouTubers along with Chels! She is such a creative, fun-loving, positive, strong woman who is dedicated to giving her best effort consistently day in and day out. She is so inspiring, relatable and real. There are so many challenges that come at you in life and she is the epitome of what I want to be like when life gets in the way. The unapologetic way she reflects, problem solves and takes action makes her the “hero” of her story and someone I want to be like. She is relentless, in the best way possible. Chels, your podcasts, posts and YouTube videos are thought- provoking, inspiring and I am a mentally stronger person because of you. Thank you for putting yourself out there. You are beautiful, resilient and a role model for so many of us. You are doing it girl and I am so proud of you! : )

This review is way overdue. I’ve been listening to Chelsea’s podcast since the very beginning and I’m still listening now! Every episode gives me at least one moment of “YES!” 🤣 I’ve become more of a person I want to be, more confident, more uncaring of what others think and just more of my weird self. I’ve embraced being the hero of my own story thanks to Chels 🥹

I first came across a you tube video about the 10 habits to help with weight loss and I immediately had to check out your podcast, as you mentioned if you struggle with all or nothing thinking then you had more info out there! So far your messages on really focusing on your daily habits, making small tiny changes, just taking one tiny action step is so helpful! I can relate the the binge restrict cycle and wanting the processed foods but I didn’t realize how much power really they had on my brain, and that really I am Not a failure! I plan to also work on creating a healthier environment and clean out the pantry! Thank you! Mary from Durham, NC.

Since discovering this podcast, I’ve listened to it daily! I absolutely LOVE it! I plan on listening to ALL of the episodes from start to finish. Chelsea has created a binge worthy podcast that appeals to my personal interests and inspires me to stay motivated towards reaching my healthy goals in life. I’m grateful to her for sharing her story and the stories of others who have benefited from Lean With Plants!

I love how Chelsea breaks everything down, because weight loss can be such an impossible feat. I am breaking through barriers in weight and health thanks to her teaching. Habits and environment, systems and motivation, and why the process takes longer than expected are just a few of the valuable lessons I've learned as a listener. I appreciate her insights. She does an excellent job researching and then connecting data to real life experience. I never miss an episode, and I have multiples that are greatest hits. Last year, I was able to spend a few days with her at a retreat, and she lives what she teaches. Chelsea is the real deal.

I really love both the interview and the solo episodes. It’s so inspiring to hear from the people in the lean with plants program! Chelsea’s blend of science and down to earth approach to weight-loss is so good. Everything gets broken down into easy action. And I love that the goal is lean and healthy.

Just listened to your last podcast twice, back to back. Powerful and hopefully I’ll finally start to incorporate and stay consistent.

Just listened to this episode and I really enjoyed it. Always great advice and tips for a plant based lifestyle. Thanks Chelsea!

I think your podcasts are so practical.

I just listened to the October 30, 2023 episode about motivation and it is GOLD. So good. She refers a lot to Atomic Habits, but really breaks it down in a way that you will actually understand and maybe even implement the ideas, not just passively “get it” which is what I usually do when I listen to podcasts. This one is saved to my favs.

Love this podcast, breaks down calorie density and weight loss in an easy to understand way, makes it less intimidating to get started. Very informative and fun.

Very much enjoy this podcast! I listen to it all the time. :)

Just listened to this episode today. It’s the first of your podcasts for me. Thank you for telling the story of your journey. It sounds so very similar to mine. I just started this way of eating because of a knee injury 4 months ago and surgery to repair it on December 8th. The goal in moving to a WFPB diet was an effort to not gain any weight during this time on crutches and not being able to exercise. The good news is that it’s working and I’ve even lost about 4 or 5 pounds. I can’t wait for the coming months as my knee heals and I can get back to hiking! I think this might actually be working and I’m sure I’ll start losing once I’m on both feet again. Thank you for the confirmation that I’m not broken and also not alone on this maddening effort! Keep creating great content! Thank you!

Chelsea, you are brilliant and generous and changing the lives of women around the world every single day! This podcast has invaluably improved my life–it has provided educational content, inspirational stories, and a good swift kick in the booty many times! I wish we were all taught about calorie density and the power of habits since we were small, but since that isn’t the case there is Chelsea to educate all of us NOW! Adore you. Respect you. So grateful for you!

This podcast has been such a blessing to me on so many levels. At first I thought that the most valuable part was her content about how weight loss works and how I can use calorie density to lose weight without starving myself. However after listening to her podcast for a few months now, I’ve found that Chelsea’s story has given words to the emotional suffering that I’ve been going through for decades, hating to see myself in the mirror, restricting and binging and exercising and constantly ruminating about my body and why I couldn’t eat and look like other women I knew. I’m grateful for the ten pounds I’m down since this summer, but even more grateful for the psychological/ emotional healing that other plant-based weight loss platforms don’t offer.

Chelsea’s podcast content is by far one of the best. I look forward to listening to the episodes. There are some really good personal weight loss stories and I’m sure every girl can relate and identify with. Every episode has such amazing stories and content with tips for keeping a plant based lifestyle. It keeps me informed and engaged with my eating habits. Thank you Chelsea for giving us all this valuable information and keeping things so simple.

I have been listening to and following Chelsea for about 8 months. I’ve come to believe that she is a super human. I have been plant based for almost 15 years and yet, she has opened soooo many doors around life, habits and nutrition that I never spent much time on. Her talk about habits, systems, collecting data and failing fast is brilliant. She really combines the best of all needed to become your best in this life. Thank you Chelsea! I’m 55 years old and didn’t know I was missing so much knowledge. ❤️

I’m neither a vegan or nor a member, but I’m a dedicated listener of Lean With Plants for 2 years. I’ve not only lost weight sustainably thanks to Chelsea’s advice, but my mindset has shifted regarding all areas of my life that I’ve working to “level up”, including mental health and even finances. Her references to The Hero’s Journey and the book Atomic Habits applied to lifestyle shifts has given me comfort, encouragement and the patience/motivation to stay consistent with small goals. And I’m seeing the results! Thank you Chelsea for turning your hard earned wisdom into gold and sharing it with us. You’ve made a difference in my life 💛🥦🙏🏻

Chelsea’s podcasts are so thoughtful and applicable to any aspect of your life where you are trying to improve. Highly recommend!

I can’t enough of Chelsea’s podcasts. I came here looking for weight loss advice and what I found is so much more. Listening to Chelsea encourages me to keep fighting to be a better version of myself. If you are looking for ways to improve your physical health these are for you but if you are also looking for ways to make lasting positive habits to better your whole life, listen!!!

What I’ve learned from Chels is that mindset is the answer. I’ve had a struggle over the last 10 years to lose weight. It’s not the diet, any diet works. It’s the mindset and BEHAVIOR. Chels helped me learn this through this podcast. I loved Kenzia’s analogy of SkipBo, I play the exact same way she does and win every time. It made so much sense for weight loss! Thank you for this podcast, keep going Chels!!
