I've worked with Chelsea as part of her team for nearly 3 years and she's always been kind, caring and delivered life changing results for the clients we've worked with. I can't stress how amazing of a journey its been to learn how to be sustainably more and more healthy. She's simply the best! Less

Review of Lean With Plants (LWP): A Costly and Harmful Experience My Experience with LWP (2021-2024) After three extended stints with LWP from January 2021 to September 2024, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this program. In fact, I strongly warn against it, particularly for: • Anyone with a history of eating disorders or disordered eating • Anyone who does not want to be on a diet for life • Anyone who does not want to be manipulated by questionable leadership and sales tactics LWP Is a Restrictive Diet Disguised as a Lifestyle Despite marketing itself as a sustainable lifestyle, LWP is a highly restrictive diet. The epitome of toxic fitspo diet culture mixed with MLM, get rid of your friends who aren't all in, etc. The program pushes strict WFPB eating rules, totally disconnected to your body, and without credible, science or credential-backed nutritional guidance. From the coaches to the founder—an Instagram influencer with no legitimate credentials in nutrition, mental health, or wellness—there is no qualified professional oversight to justify the level of pressure, advice and claims they make. Expensive, Predatory, and Cult-Like • High Costs for Questionable Value: The program, including overpriced retreats, focuses more on justifying its expense than providing any real value. • Exploitative Sales Practices: LWP employs aggressive marketing tactics to lure participants in, preying on their insecurities. • Toxic Leadership & Employee Treatment: Behind the scenes, employees are treated poorly if not abusive, and the community carries a cult-like idol worship atmosphere, with the founder leveraging weight-loss success stories—often without consent or actual significant LWP WL—to promote the program. A Warning for Potential Participants At its core, LWP is another Instagram-driven, pseudo-scientific diet scheme led by an influencer who seems unconcerned with the harm caused to participants, former and current. It follows the same pattern as other fraudulent wellness figures, prioritizing profits over people with no consideration to the negative health outcomes of former (or current) members - or employees. If you are considering joining LWP, I strongly urge you to reconsider. There are far better, ethically responsible alternatives available for those seeking sustainable health and wellness, that won't leave you broke and disconnected from the one thing you have to carry you through this life - your body!! There are life and health affirming alternatives that cost ZERO DOLLARS! Less

I can’t say enough good things about Lean With Plants! This program has been a game-changer for me, and I wanted to share my experience so far. One of the best parts of the program is the incredible community of women. Everyone is open, vulnerable, and committed to improving their lives. It’s so inspiring to be surrounded by people on the same journey who lift each other up. The coaching is unparalleled. I’ve done other programs, but the level of interaction and feedback here is on another level. Chelsea Mae and the coaches are motivational, focused, and truly invested in helping you succeed. My first conversation with my coach, Ruthanne, was about taking action on something that was in my way. She asked me point-blank when I was going to address the issue and advised me to put it on my calendar. And she follows up! That level of accountability has been a game-changer for me. The program itself is flexible and simple, which removes so many barriers to success. The food can be as easy as you need it to be, so there are no excuses about running out of time or making complicated meals. I’ve also realized that I don’t have to be perfect to make progress. I’ve lost weight without being 100% on track, and that’s been an incredible shift for me. For the first time, I finally understand what is necessary for weight loss to happen and how to make it happen. This was the missing piece I’ve struggled to unlock through other programs and diets. Lean With Plants has helped me bridge that gap and find consistency, which has always been my biggest challenge. In just two months, I’ve lost 15 pounds—without starving myself or feeling deprived. But beyond the weight loss, I’ve experienced a shift in my identity. I now feel empowered and equipped to make choices that align with my goals. I’m confident I can not only lose weight but keep it off. Between the training modules, coaching calls, and frequent interactions with Chelsea Mae and the coaches, the value in this program is unmatched. While the focus is on weight loss, the lessons you learn will help you set goals and see improvements in every area of your life. If you’re on the fence about joining, take the leap. It really is life-changing, and I’m so glad I made the decision to invest in myself. Less

Chelsea and the Lean With Plants program has changed my life! 💯 % recommend to anyone wanting to lose weight and actually keep it off with behavioural change that will improve many other areas of your life too! I had tried a few different ways to lose the weight I gained since the covid pandemic and each year I lost the weight then put it back on again. This year I couldn’t bring myself to do the same thing so when I came across Chelsea and LWP I knew it was for me. I started LWP in April 2024 lost the 9kg to get to my goal weight in August 2024 and have been in a maintenance phase since. For the first time since 2020 I feel like I have finally food a healthy sustainable diet and lifestyle that has improved my energy overall health and outlook on life as well as feel more confident in achieving goals I set for myself :) thanks Chelsea!

Chelsea’s program LWP will not disappoint, I’m 62 and have lost my goal weight of 10#’s and then some! I feel 100% healthier, have more energy and have gained confidence in myself. This program is sustainable. I am now walking everyday, lifting weights consistently 3 days a week and loving it, thanks to this program which has soooo much to offer, it’s definitely a game changer 👍👍 Less

In 2021, I came across Chelsea Mae (LEAN WITH PLANTS) after searching for “vegetarian pressure cooker” recipes. What a find! I learned all about calorie density and behavioural habit change - this is a woman and her team here to help us simplify our habits and cook healthy, simple food. Embrace repetition and consistency 🥦 Less

Holy Muffins, I have been on EVERY SINGLE DIET POSSIBLE! You mention it, I’ve been on it! I also have always gained my weight back EVERY SINGLE TIME! I was scrolling through Tik Tok and Chelsea’s posts kept popping up about eating SO MUCH FOOD and, get this, LOSING WEIGHT! I clicked on the link and was led to Chelsea Mae. Her meals that I can actually make are delicious! This has been the BEST and most doable and realistic program I have ever followed. The best part is that I don’t have to count calories, points, eat packaged food, or starve to death. I am never hungry on this program and I have been losing weight while eating good food! The coaching, along with the program, is invaluable. The support of the LWP family you become a part of makes you never feel alone. There are other people out there LIKE ME and they are super supportive and have similar issues. Sometimes we think we are the only ones with the issues we have when in reality we are NOT alone! The whole team is approachable and down to earth. I opted for the year long program and working on myself during the year so that I keep the weight off. Thank you Chelsea Mae for being down to earth and creating this program and family I am honored to be a part of!! Less

Chelsea Mae's weightloss program is SPOT on and SO awesome! I am new to her program, but not new to Vegan, wholefoodplant based. Chelsea's relatable easy to understand and easy to implement program will help anyone who is wanting to truth about weightloss and being fit, get the end result. The app, the videos, the handouts, the community is STELLER, and freaking awesome! I signed up for the program to lose my last 5-6 pounds because I saw her, and the coaches have a fit and toned body- which is what I want. I am so way beyond impressed. I can tell she has put her heart and soul into this program to help women get the health they desire and deserve. 😀😀 Less
