Fresh, hot, and full of blueberries, these muffins from Chef Mike Mech make the perfect breakfast for families in a hurry.
Catechins, a natural phenol and antioxidant, are found in blueberries. These healthy helpers are excellent fat burners and target abdominal fat cells and belly fat in particular. Recent research at Tufts University found that regularly ingesting catechins increases abdominal fat loss by 77 percent and doubles total weight loss.
