An egg diet to lose weight at first might seem a contradiction because eggs have the reputation of being a food not very suitable for those who follow a diet to lose weight. In reality, this egg-based diet maximizes the nutritional properties of this food. It cannot be considered a balanced diet, as it appears to be disproportionate because it is excessively low in calories, practically not considering fats and only very few carbohydrates. To avoid the risk of suffering from nutritional deficiencies is therefore essential to consult an experienced figure, your doctor, a nutritionist, a dietician who can tell you whether there are grounds to follow. In fact, contrary to popular belief, despite being a food that provides a considerable intake of cholesterol and fat, integrate them regularly in the diet is not going to affect blood cholesterol, provided of course that you do not overdo it. Being a diet low in carbohydrates means that the body must use glycogen (sugar) sources present in the liver to obtain energy. In this way, weight loss is achieved. In any case you should not abuse egg consumption, in particular those who suffer from diabetes or diseases that affect the liver or gall bladder should not do so.
The egg diet in particular allows us to lose up to 10 pounds in a short time. The diet in any case should not be followed for more than 15 days, otherwise damage to the body could occur. As with all diets, it is recommended to drink at least two liters of water a day. Bread and pasta are not allowed, instead of sugar a sweetener should be used. No snacking between meals and the other.
