Egg diet: reviews and results, detailed menu for every day, table, recipes

The egg diet is designed for those who are interested in effective weight loss with maximum benefits for the body. The diet is designed taking into account all the beneficial substances that eggs have.

This product contains complete protein, which is well absorbed by the body, covering the daily protein intake of up to 15%, as well as a balance of vitamins and minerals needed by the body during the diet. In addition, the diet rules provide for the consumption of large quantities of fruits and vegetables, which are no less rich in beneficial properties.

With such a menu, the human body will not suffer a loss of vitamins, so there is no need to take them additionally.

The essence of the egg diet

It is necessary to understand, when starting a diet, that it refers to protein diets , which means consuming only eggs in a certain quantity, as well as vegetables and fruits. Moreover, it is necessary to separate these products and consume them at different times.
The egg diet is designed for 4 weeks, and 4 weeks are not accidental: during this period there are 2 stages of weight loss. The first two weeks the body rapidly tries to lose excess weight, and the second two weeks the results are consolidated.
Before starting this diet, you should be confident in your abilities , otherwise, without reaching the end, there is a huge risk of getting the lost weight back, even in a larger volume.
At the first stage of the diet, weight loss occurs due to the fact that a protein product enters the body, and accumulated fat mass is consumed to assimilate it, without additional nutrition.
This diet is quite strict, you need to tune in to it , but as a result you can get up to 20 kg, although for each person the figure is individual and depends on his body characteristics.

Eggs are a delicious and beloved product by many.. In general
Every day, people eat egg dishes quite often, without causing the thought that this is a dietary product. Therefore, being the main one in this diet, it may appeal to many.
Egg dishes are prepared quite quickly . This means that this diet is suitable for busy people, those who do not have time to cook. The rest of the products on the menu also do not require much time.

Advantages and disadvantages of the diet

pros

Like other diets, egg diets have their advantages and limitations. The advantages include:

high efficiency of weight loss: after the first two weeks the body loses 3-5 kg - and this is not water and toxins, but hard-to-burn fat;
when losing weight, you don’t need to count calories, you practically don’t feel hungry;
physical activity is desirable, but not required, fat is burned not during training in the gym, but during chemical reactions of protein absorption;
The diet is varied: fruits, vegetables, cottage cheese, meat, fish - the body does not experience a deficiency of vitamins and microelements while getting rid of extra pounds.

There are also disadvantages to this method of losing weight.

The egg diet is absolutely contraindicated for people with allergies to eggs and citrus fruits - and this kind of reaction occurs quite often. Sharp imbalances in nutrition: excess proteins and deficiency of carbohydrates can give rise to a negative reaction of the body in the form of headaches and weakness. After all, people’s metabolism is designed for carbohydrate foods as the main energy source. It is especially difficult in the first 14 days of restructuring, when processes that are unusual for the body are launched.

Important! Such experiments are contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation; consuming large quantities of eggs is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.

The chemical diet itself imposes strict requirements on adherence to the regime: as soon as the order of food entering the body is disrupted, you have to start all over again, since the fat burning process stops. From the very beginning, you should accustom yourself to eat exactly three times a day, at the same time, and eat only the dishes recommended for each meal.

Myths and concerns

Myth: Frequently consuming eggs can build up cholesterol in the body, which can clog your arteries. This thesis has long been dispelled as a myth.
In fact, eggs do not cause an increase in cholesterol, although it is present in their composition. The fact is that they contain “healthy” cholesterol, which does not harm the body, so you can consume egg products without fear. According to statistics, those who eat eggs for breakfast are less likely to be overweight than those who snack on toast and sandwiches.
Concern: the egg may be contaminated with salmonellosis, which makes it easy for a person to become poisoned . In fact, if stored and transported improperly, eggs can spoil, and a person consuming a low-quality product may develop an intestinal infection.
To prevent this from happening, you should eat only high-quality products from trusted suppliers and ensure that the eggs are clean, without cracks or drips. Before use, it is imperative to wash the eggshells, even if they do not look dirty.

White-egg option

The peculiarity of the diet is that its menu contains various products, making it not so difficult to maintain. Duration is 5 days. At the same time, judging by the reviews, on average you can lose up to 5 kg.

The menu looks like this:

Breakfast: skim milk - 1 glass with 200 g of low-fat cottage cheese, coffee.

Cons and risks of the egg diet

Like many other diets, the egg diet has a number of contraindications:

This diet prohibits the consumption of fats.

Chicken or quail egg?

Nutritionists offer the choice of eating a chicken or quail egg for two weeks.

Therefore, it is difficult to feel the difference:

If we compare chicken and quail eggs, then we can say that the protein content in a quail egg is 1-3% higher than in a chicken egg.
Also the vitamin B content is slightly higher. Based on this, you can opt for a quail egg, but if the diet menu says to eat 2 chicken eggs for breakfast, then, accordingly, you should double the number of quail eggs.
The norm for an adult who does not have any contraindications is 2 chicken eggs or 4 quail eggs.

Reviews and results

Reviews about the egg diet, as well as the results of the egg diet, are absolutely varied. Some were able to acquire an ideal figure, but others suffered from allergies.

Regina, 22 years old: The extra pounds came to me unnoticed, I allowed myself to relax. Going on this diet was not difficult, I didn’t want to eat, I was always full. Throughout this time I have been involved in sports. An egg diet and sports are a great combination. In two weeks I lost 10 kilograms. After another two weeks, minus 12 kilograms. Now I'm a happy person.

Valeria, 32 years old: I read about this diet on the Internet and decided to try it on myself. Too many eggs, already on the fourth day, sprinkled me, and I had to stop the experiment on myself.

Ekaterina, 28 years old: The proposed diet helped me lose 8 kilograms, but I only lasted 2 weeks. The egg diet really works, but I didn't have the willpower. Now I’m gathering the strength to start all over again, since there are still 13 extra kilos left. I hope everything works out for me. And whoever has willpower, then start immediately.
