Reader’s Note:

From time to time, we will publish educational articles that have differing points of view from what we promote at Labrada Nutrition. This is not to confuse readers, but rather to arm them with information and educate them on other dietary programs. While it’s easy to get lost in the diet programs that come and go  (Atkins, Keto, Paleo, Zone, South Beach etc.), learning the concepts and reasoning for differing approaches will help you solidify and affirm your personal program according to your specific age, body-type, metabolic status and goals. In our Labrada Coaching and Nutrition Plans, we typically recommend a higher carbohydrate intake than the Atkins program for best results, but also recognize that specific metabolic, longevity, and or health issues may require modification. Enjoy!

3. Once it heats up place your burgers in
4. Cook each side for a few minutes (or to desired temperature)
