#279 - Why Are Some Foods So Addictive, Overcoming Overeating and Binging, and Getting Enough Protein On Plant Based Diets - with Katie Simmons!

Welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, Chantel got to speak with Chef Katie Simmons! She is a personal chef in Chicago, but her journey to cooking has been a winding path. After growing up as an overweight kid in Kentucky, she entered her 20s confused about what sort of career path she wanted to follow. It was a solo backpacking trip to New Zealand that led her to culinary school at Kendall College and ultimately working for Whole Foods Market. Today, she champions the plant-based diet and finds joy in cooking with creativity, and feeding people.   In this episode we cover: Why people overeat in the first place? How to get rid of processed food in your diet? How do you get enough protein with plant based diet?  What are your favorite plant based recipes?   And more!
