Lean With Plants

Kezia lost 50 lbs (and counting) while spending less time in the kitchen and making her system easy.

Here’s what she said:

“in January when the doors were open for LWP I wasn't quite ready to jump in, I felt like I had all of the knowledge and understanding and I could do it on my own. So I decided to give myself some time to try it alone. Alas, I was able to eat the right things but then weekends would come and my consistency would fly out the window. So here I am signed up for LWP this round and already just investing the money in it is giving me the push I need to practice my consistency and reach my goals!” (July 2021)

Since then she’s focused on layering habits like her home habit, then weekends, then eating out.

It’s crazy what can happen with small, consistent action and learning to trust yourself again.

Making faster progress isn’t about stricter diets and more discipline, it’s about taking consistent action steps that move you closer to your goal.

The problem is we get tired, bored, lose motivation or give up, or (insert excuse here) and progress stalls or goes out the window.

This isn’t a flaw with YOU, it’s a human character trait that keeps us alive, we’re kinda designed to choose the path of least resistance to conserve energy and constantly innovate… BUT that’s not super helpful when we need to say no to oreos and YES to broccoli. 😭🥦

The good news is instead of working against it, we can hack motivation by using tools like the next tiny step method to KEEP moving forward, even in our worst moments.

In this episode I share exactly how to use the method to find your next tiny step, commit to when you’ll implement it, and use momentum to make your next actions easier and more likely. Yah!!

This method was developed by Richard Ralston who is a mentor, friend, and amazing human, so check out more about him below 👇

https://richardralston.com/

A lot of these concepts were also inspired by James Clear and Greg Mckeown and you can find the links to their books below👇

Essentialism - Greg Mckeown

Atomic Habits - James Clear

We use this method in our Progress PODS in Lean with Plants and it’s helped our members see phenomenal results. If you’re not making the progress you want to on your weight loss journey, why not join our fam, and start taking leaps and bounds with the tools to make it easier and a community to support you a long the way.

After traveling the United States for 2 months I’ve got some thoughts about eating healthy (and not) here and I wanted to share them with you!

This episode is really just a conversation about processed foods, huge billboards that pull you off the highway, the price of cherry tomatoes and how to set up your environment to promote the behaviours you want to cultivate.

There are some fascinating things about human psychology and behaviour that we can learn about shaping habits from McDonalds, as counter intuitive as that sounds!

If you found this episode helpful and have a practical application, send me an email, dm, or message in a bottle so I can geek out about it too!

See you next week for another episode.

I struggled with my weight for almost 10 years. I was miserable and unhappy and after many failed diets, too many rules and too much restriction, I thought it was time to do something that was sustainable, easy, obvious and attractive! That's when I finally found a solution that worked for me. I was able to lose 40lbs and become the leanest I have ever been if my life even after having 2 kids!  The method I'm going to be talking about is tried and tested across my course Lean with Plants where hundreds of women have managed to lose weight just by using the same systems.
 
Learning about how weight loss works is a small piece of the puzzle. You may know what you should be doing, but it's implementing what you know that's the hardest part!  The missing piece for a lot of women is building a strong habit foundation on a consistent basis that help you become the kind of person who is able to accomplish your weight loss goals.
Do you struggle to stay on track even though you know what to eat? Do you feel you have an all or nothing mindset and once you fail, you revert back to old eating habits? In this episode I'm going to discuss why habits are so important, and how to use them to build systems that make your weight loss easy, obvious and attractive so you can become more consistent and finally start shedding those pounds!
 
Remember this is not a bout willpower,  it's not about someone else being better at it than you. It's about finding a system that works for for you! You are not broken and you are certainly not a failure. There are many different ways of implementing new systems and habits that can work for you. Listen to this episode so  I can give you the kickstart you need to finally have the food freedom that I now have.
I also take some questions at the end! I hope the Q&A is super helpful for you!

I recently did an Instagram live where I spoke to some of the amazing Lean with Plants members about their personal experiences on their weight loss journey and took some of your questions! There were some great questions and I loved answering them all, so I thought it would great to share this live episode with all of you, so that you can find the answers to some of my most commonly asked questions!

In this episode, I answer questions about how to change your habits so you can start to master your life, how to use systems to get results rather than using motivation, plant based pregnancy and tips on how to stay consistent so you're finally able to  to make steps towards getting food freedom!
The Lean with Plants members also share their personal stories and tips about how they lost weight! They also give you an insight to into the Lean with Plants course and how the course has helped them change their lives.
I hope this Q&A is super helpful for you!

I finally got the chance to do my first in person podcast and meet with the amazing Beth, who is a pod leader in the Lean with Plants course, and it was so exciting!!
In this episode Beth shares her incredible story of how she was able to lose 40lbs and finally find the food freedom  she desperately wanted after trying around 15 unsuccessful diets which she had done for most of her life.
Beth discusses how she was able to use the skills she had taken from Lean with Plants course to create systems that enable her to be consistent with her eating habits, eat as much as she wants and finally lose the weight she always wanted, become her leanest in a long time and get to a place where she now feels comfortable in her own skin. We also talk about the benefit of celebrating wins no matter how small and how you important it is to celebrate wins and yourself!
I got so much out of this episode! I hope Beth's story inspires you as much as it did me

I started a challenge with some friends where I would commit to running 5km a day for 90 consecutive days. It's now day 77 of the challenge and I’ve managed to run 5km every single day for 77 days and counting. 

In this episode, I discuss what I’ve learnt about habit formation and the many behavioural hacks this challenge has taught me along the way. All of which, have made it possible for me to continue running for 70+ days, even when I was struggling and just wanted to give up.

There are 4 important steps to how our brain forms habits; the cue, the craving, the response and the reward, all of which I will explain in this episode and how our behaviour is shaped by them. 
When you understand how habits are formed and you start to see the power of using behavioural tools to hack your habits, you will think about behaviour in a completely different way. 
I'm hoping you can starting using these ideas and hacks so you can begin designing a system that works for you. A system that enables you to follow through with doing those things that may seem too far out of your reach, because you'll equipped with the knowledge and tools to make it much easier for you to achieve success. 

I HIGHLY recommend reading the book Atomic Habits by James Clear to understand more about how you can hack your habits through behavioural  change.

In this episode I have the privilege to talk to Bree who shares her amazing story about how she managed to transform her life, change her daily habits and lose 37lbs since beginning her weight loss journey.  It was Bree who inspired me to run 5km a day, as she was able to run 5km a day for 250 consecutive days, which in total is 1250kms, that's absolutely incredible!
In this episode Bree shares it all. How she managed to grow trust and confidence in herself to lose weight,  how long it took her to get results and the small daily habit changes that helped lead her to massive results!
Her story just blows me away because it is so powerful what can happen when you decide to look forward to the future, not look back at past failures that have been holding you back and continue to push forward making daily improvements that get you closer to that person you want to become. Bree has mastered the foundational habits that has enabled her to master her life and we both believe that it's possible for you too!

Are you a self proclaimed binge eater? Maybe you’ve tried various diets, severely lowered your calorie intake, staved yourself, gone to bed hungry and yet no matter what you still just can’t seem to get out of the never ending binge eating cycle.

In this episode I talk about my personal struggle with binge eating and how I was able to stop the cycle of binging on food, lose 40 lbs, and maintain the best figure I’ve had in my adult life.

Now I have the freedom to eat as much as I want without the fear of binging. I hope this episode empowers you to take back control, so you can develop a better relationship with food and build the habits that are going to get you the weight loss results you want.
