About this episode

Today's show is so special because I am welcoming Liza Manouselis as my first guest on the podcast!

Liza has had an incredible story of triumph when it comes to her emotional and binge eating (BE) past. In today's interview she talks about how unresolved traumas can contribute to BE and the steps she took (both food related and non-food related) to help her recover from BE.

And here is Liza's recipe for her Keto Indian-style Chicken:

1-2lbs Chicken thighs
2 tablespoons of ghee
Add ghee to pan, and cook chicken all the way through. 

Then put the following item in a blender/food processor until contents are smoothie consistency:

3 large tomatoes
1 yellow onion
1/4 cup chopped ginger
3+ cloves garlic (I like to add more)
1 tbl Garam masala spice
1 tbl garlic powder
1 tbl onion powder
Salt + pepper to taste

Once the chicken in cooked, pour the mix over the chicken, turn up the heat, and bring contents to a boil. Let it sit at a boil for a short period of time, then bring the heat back down and simmer. Add a can of coconut cream here. Allow the contents to reduce to your liking. 

GARNISH with lots of yummy cilantro. Keto/low carb side dish suggestion: Cauliflower rice, with green peas. Add turmeric and ghee.
