Bircher Recipe

Sorry, I’m too busy to eat breakfast.

I just don’t have enough time my mornings are hectic… getting the kids ready, checking emails, house hold chores and then rushing to work for meetings. Plus, I’m trying to lose weight.”

I get you, when I was obese and before the heart attack, my mornings were like that too.

But after the heart attack, l discovered all the benefits of breakfast. Many studies have shown that eating breakfast improves your energy levels and ability to concentrate in the short term, and can help with better weight management, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease in the long term.
