Egg which is one of the most likable food items of majority of people will now shed pounds from your body and bring you in slender shape. Egg diet being a fad diet has taken the egg as the main food item, which will solve all of your weight-related problems. You shall melt fourteen pounds in mere one week while abiding by the plan.
Effect of Eggs on Cholesterol Level
It is often believed that eggs elevate your blood cholesterol level. However, the program has totally phased out this myth. Having allocated a group of hundred people in two categories, the plan executed one simple test. While one group was given one egg in one week, other one was given more than one egg in one day. And past one month, when the influence of their egg consumption on their cholesterol level was noticed, both of them were as hale as they were prior to the test. Moreover, there was no rise or fall in their cholesterol levels. So, if you are stepping away from going ahead with the program while considering it a foe of your heart, you certainly shall alter your wrong assumption and embrace the magnificent plan.
Nutrition Density of Eggs
Eggs can aptly be called nutritious food items due to their opulent content of proteins. There are mere 60-70 calories in one egg. Eggs are capable of providing you same nutrition as is provided by fish, poultry, meat, nuts, and dry beans. Loaded with vitamins, iron, folate, omega-3 fatty acids, and plenty of minerals, nutrition density of eggs cannot be challenged. And since omega-3 fatty acids are not naturally produced in your body, you need to provide them through foods. No other food item indeed can be better than eggs. Besides that, there are twelve vitamins in eggs. Vitamin D plays an important role in increasing the immunity of your body and in making it resilient to combat against terrible diseases such as cancer. The best part of the food item is, it shows the amazing impacts on your body without making you grow fat. The high protein content of eggs upholds you full for longer. So, the bottom line is – one or two eggs in breakfast keep check on your appetite for a real long time.
Healthy Modifications in Egg Diet
You can transform the egg diet program into a healthy diet plan, or the diet plan for life, should you introduce some healthy changes in the diet pattern. You can make the program more influential and nutritious by including bountiful green and leafy veggies in your diet. In addition to them, incorporate high fiber citrus fruits in your diet. Fruits and vegetables catalyze the metabolism of proteins in your body. Besides keeping a check on your appetite, low starch, high fiber fruits, and veggies add a lot of nutrition to your diet regime. Make sure that the veggies you select to include in your diet are low in starch. You can make their salad or can have them in steamed form while sprinkling numerous herbs and spices over them. Credited with remedial properties, herbs and spices have dual benefits. Besides triggering the fat burning process in your body, they also speed up your metabolism.
Sample Meal Plan

Since the protein content of diet is very high, you are recommended to consume ample water to save you from constipation. Egg diet allows you to consume low glycemic index veggies. However, fruits and high glycemic index food items such as white rice, pasta, bread, etc. are completely banished in the plan. Let’s have a look at one of the sample meal plans of egg diet.

Drawbacks of Egg Diet
Along with benefits, egg diet has several loopholes also. Let’s find out what they are.
- Being a fad diet, egg diet cannot be called a healthy diet program. Moreover, most nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables and several other highly nutritious food items are forbidden in the plan.
- The program offers high protein, low carb diet. So in the beginning, it might be challenging for you to mold yourself with the low carb diet schedule. You are likely to experience dizziness, nausea, headache, etc. in the initial days of the program.
- No matter how favorite the food item is to you when you are supposed to eat the same foods over and over again, you are likely to despise them.
- You cannot continue your workout regime while abiding by the plan because you require calories and energy to continue with your workouts. Hence, a low carb diet does not bestow you sufficient energy to go along with workouts.
- Surplus consumption of eggs might cause bad breath, constipation, flatulence, etc. in you.
- Like all other fad diets, egg diet too provides only short term benefit of weight loss. You will regain the weight as soon as you revert to your old eating habits.
lose 14 pounds in one week? It seems to be hard to get. but, I think this article give fully pros and cons of this egg diet. I personally tried out many types of weight loss both exercises and diet but they seems not work for me so much. after reading this article,I think that this will be suitable for me. Thanks a lot!
What you said is true, I lost more than 36 pounds in 30 days . Means 1 pounds and half in each day through following an amazing diet called egg diet 28 days lossuweight , Just google it and you will find it from lossuweight. Good luck 🙂
does your old weight back?
I did it 14lbs to be exact I was 214lbs on 6/26 weighed myself on 6/27 I weighed at 209lbs I also workout as well…
I can’t tell if you are trolling, retarded, or so, so, so stupid. I can tell however, that you will lose tons of weight from this diet because you aren’t getting the nutrition you need to not die. Cutting off fruits, vegetables, and many of the chemicals your body needs, is the same as starving yourself. I can also tell that the only other person who commented is the person who wrote this article.
I hate people like this lol
so do i because u should like your self the way u are trust me
they are only trying to give tips to people that want to lose weight. they just want to help, you are right though! everyone should love their selves the way they are but some people don’t, some people aren’t comfortable in their own skin. The people that don’t like the way they are can’t just sit there and do nothing about it. If you don’t like yourself then you should get up and do something about that so you can make change!!! 🙂
smooth sayer,
Haters like you do this to raise your own poor self-esteem. Keep your nasty fool comments to yourself.
thats not true!!!!!!
You’re not very well informed on nutrition, body chemistry and biology in general are you? No need to reply; This is what we call a rhetorical question. I already know the answer, I’m just trying to pass the info on to you.
No scientist would agree with your statement without being paid to do so…
Grapefruit, oranges and Chicken and all the veggies you want… And the weight does stay off I have 4 kids but of course stay away from the fried foods and stay active … I will advise anyone to get to your target weight and be determined to keep it off by eating right and yes can do it…
I clicked on this article because I was shocked that it said ’14 pounds’ specifically. Mainly because I did an egg diet a couple of years ago and lost 14 pounds in about a week and a half. As long as your eating your vegetables alongside your high protein meals with eggs, there’s nothing wrong with doing this.
Not sure why other commenters are saying ‘retarded’ and that you aren’t getting the nutrients. You apparently didn’t read the whole article/meal plans!
Well i am going to try this staring…tomorrow. .
It works, i do it throughout the year if I gain Weight, along with exercise I lost 2 stone in 2 weeks going this, a 2 hr work out and a light salad for tea. Kept the weight off to. Only donut now if I gain a few lbs. drink plenty of water , and don’t forget the salad
I’m sorry but can you use a weight measurement that other people can understand?I’m sure that at least 90% or the people on the planet have no idea what a “stone” weighs. Also, regarding you salad tea, how does that work? Do you put a whole salad together and then strain hot water through it? Do you have to dry all the salad ingredients before making tea with them? It’s a really confusing comment. I’m wondering also if where you come from (the UK based on your use of the word “stone”) you use the word TEA as the name of a meal time? Then having a salad for tea would make more sense but again, the majority of people in the world will not be able to understand what you’re talking about because you are posting on an international web page using the same dialectic vocabulary you use at home and being that you’re british most people will not be able to follow you in that case. When you write “a light salad for tea” most people will see that sentence to be similar to saying “a hamburger for juice” because to most people, tea is a beverage, not a designated meal time.
Yes, British people use the measurement ‘Stone’ for weight. It equals 14 lbs. If you have such trouble understanding a simple post, why not google it- learn something, rather than calling out the person who speaks differently to you?
I love language and seeing how other people say things differently. Seemingly you’d all like us to be the same? How dull.
And yes, sometimes we call our evening meal ‘Tea’. Seems like you managed to work out the meaning perfectly, so maybe you were just trying to be funny with all that nonsense? Hard to tell.
MJ, what a tedious response to a comment. Was neither humorous or witty, just bizarrely rude and immature. I don’t know where you come from but you obviously consider it the centre of the universe and are intolerant to differences. Perhaps you should travel/read more??
Wow, you’re a special kind of ass.
The majority of people who are under educated and unaware wouldn’t understand what they said.
Grats standing up for the “masses.”
Wait what? You do realize that the language is called English? Right? As in, Americans speak a bastardized form of English. And, Tea is only a popular cold beverage in the US. AND, the US is not the center of the world. Most Europeans speak British English, as do Australia and New Zealand, since they were once British Colonies. Try educating yourself a little, then you won’t sound like an ignorant, uncultured fool 🙂
Omg …you must like the sound of your own voice so to speak ..,get a life and accept we are all different thank goodness. How sad to think like that just because you don’t inderstand the British culture / way of life …As we Brits say ” you always get one “
I have done the egg diet for 4 days and lost 8 pounds. I only have regain 1 pound since 2 months, bc I continue with eating eggs in the morning. This is the only diet where I can truly say not that I have felt great shedding pounds but I didn’t had any bloating, any food reaction, slept well, happy, and on top of that no cravings from day 1. Every diet I had been on in the past I had carb (bread & sweets)cravings for at least 2 days. The only reason why I got off the diet was I couldn’t see another plain egg anymore. But when I broke the diet I fried my some vegties with my eggs. So my ranking is all over B+. And don’t forget there are a tons of vitamins in eggs so u do get u protein. Since I do my fitness pal regulary I have notice that my protein intake was not even half way met, so when I went on this diet I met my protein level almost every day. I was just very low on carbs 19% but my body felt great. I can recommend it to everybody. Oh by the way I had a client he had lost almost 50 pounds with this in 4 month
Hi guys 4 months ago i had a baby i went from a size 8 to a size 14. I know shocking right. Anyway im so depressed with my weight and i just cant find a quick way of loosing at least 3 stone. I need help although there is pros and cons of this diet it does not say whether you get flabby skin afterwards. can anyway tell me there results after 2 weeks please? thanks
Eat have zero carbs. When you eat zero or low carbs, your body goes into ketosis and burns fat instead of sugar. There are many items you can eat in addition to eggs. Lean meats and vegetables, salads, If you limit your carb intake to 20 a day, you will lose weight. This diet makes people tend to eat too much, especially if you like cheese. I was doing the Atkins diet, would drive through In & Out and order a double double protein style a few pounds a week and still lose weight. I got sick of meat, eggs, and cheese after a month. I know someone who lost 100 pounds in one year on this diet.
I did this diet last year and lost 9lb in a week, I have also started it today I think it’s a brill way for a quick fix.
I started this yesterday and I’m just about to have my steak and salad. Trying to keep busy to get trough the days until it’s time to eat! Iv lost 2lbs since yesterday and I’m sticking to this religiously! Will let you know how I get on !
Im starting this diet on 2nd feb. Anyone wants to join me.
Yes , I want to try this
This post is great. Very informative. Thank you :-).
I’d like to make a small input (if I may).
It’s also a great idea to add some spices.
Spices are low cal, low fat, ancient superfoods (most overlooked) known to rev up our metabolism..so we can burn even more calories without lifting a finger. Needless to mention the taste.
5 must-stock ancient spices for weight loss:
1. Mustard Seed: Boosts metabolism
even after upto 25 hrs of consumption.
2. Black Pepper: Helps in faster digestion
and nutrient absorption.
3. Ginger: Hinders cholesterol absorption.
4. Cinnamon: Helps in better processing
of carbs.
5. Cayenne Pepper: Burns fat.
Feel welcomed.. 🙂

How majestic!
I must be stupid orsomething there’s something I’m not seeing on this page but what exactly is the diet? for the next 7 days what’s for breakfast , lunch and dinner?? How many eggs can I have a day?
Does the diet really work I mean will loose fat not water weight ?
Yes it works look…
Isn’t it too much protein? I’d rather choose another diet, since I am not very sporty. I can recommend dr simeons diet with Anat Stern – I did it a while ago and lost 11 kilos. Results are superb!
