Are you hoping for weight loss by moving into plant-based eating? If that’s your goal, and you’ve just started a plant-based diet, you might be experiencing some frustration right now. Frustration that you’re eating differently, but those pounds don’t seem to be coming off. And you’re likely feeling more frustrated because you’ve already tried other kinds of diets in the past, but all without real success.

 Well, having worked with clients and helped them with weight loss, sometimes past their goal weight, I want to share with you one of the top things you need to avoid if you’re trying to eat healthier and drop the pounds. It’s a focus shift that many miss. Curious? Then join me inside this episode to learn more!
