Cooked just right
Cooking time may vary from oven to oven. To ensure that the dish is ready, check that it is ready by pricking the potatoes with a thin knife and that it comes out clean.
But, if you want to speed up the roast or prevent the breast from being too dry, before adding the potatoes to the oven dish you can cook them a little in boiling water.
Lemon, an effective fat burner
Lemon, like other citrus fruits, is a thermogenic food. That is, it speeds up your metabolism and helps you burn more calories. In addition, due to its high content of vitamin C, it reduces the insulin imbalance, an essential condition for fat to be burned.
Now, if you want to get the most out of its fat burning effect, don't just add it to meals. When you get up, you can have a glass of warm water with its juice on an empty stomach and wait 30 minutes for breakfast. In addition to being a fat burner, it is a powerful antioxidant and detoxifier.
