All the juicy, cheesy burger flavor — without the bun (or the bloat).

A few years ago, I started paying attention to how I felt after dinner. Heavy. Bloated. Like I needed a nap instead of time with my family. And burgers? I loved them, but they always left me feeling like I overdid it.

That’s whe...
