Josef’s Fat-Burning Frittata
Cook once, eat 2, 3 or 4 times – in 25min you can have 4 or more healthy meals that are packed with fiber, veggies, healthy fat, protein and taste, yet with no starchy carbs.
Don’t believe the hype. Egg yolks, especially those high in omega-3 fats, are NOT bad for you or your heart. This was widely HYPOTHESIZED in the 1980’s, but when actually tested, researchers have found that adding up to 40 egg yolks a week to a person’s diet did no harm. In fact, all of the healthy fat in this dish should be GOOD for you and your heart.
