Eggs in the morning ＇aid weight loss

[raymond723]

People who eat eggs for breakfast could be giving themselves a greater chance of losing weight, according to a scientific study.

Research at Louisiana State University asked some overweight women who were already on a low-fat diet to eat two eggs for breakfast for eight weeks, while others ate a bagel 1 in the morning.
Those who ate eggs lost 65 per cent more weight, had 83 per cent greater reductions in waste circumference2 and reported greater improvements in energy levels than participants who ate bagels.

According to the scientists, these findings add to a body of research suggesting that egg consumption promotes weight loss but also provides choline, an essential nutrient that promotes brain and memory development.

A separate study carried out by scientific consulting firm Exponent in Washington DC has also concluded that the contribution of eggs to coronary 3heart disease risk is "insignificant".
It is thought that the findings of the research could be used to challenge recommendations4 that egg consumption should be restricted, particularly when it is considered that eggs contain protein, folate iron and zinc for only around 75 calories.

the only thing worse than having a large waste circumference is actually measuring it!

As I have read eggs helps to loose weight, they have to be boiled and without the yellow part, because there is the part that has fat in it.
No matter how many you eat but boiled, doing that in the morning and at nights you are supposed to loose a pound in a day.

Good luck with eggs.

Arlette,

can you do a test for us, measure your waste circumference WITHOUT eating eggs, and then measure it WITH eating eggs, let me know if the circumference changes at all? Also try to find the volume and area please. Thanks

I count kilojoules - in a lazy way... I once used a kilojoule counting book, got a general idea of what is in most foods... and over about 6 months I was able to work out how many kilojoules I needed to keep my weight stable... These days I have a light egg "smoothie" for breakfast - 300 ml (a cup) of juice - no sugar, fresh squeezed if possible - usually orange, apple or other sweet fruit; 2 large dollops low fat fruit yoghurt (about 50-100 ml) and 500-700 ml plain water, 1 egg, and a teaspoon of cocao powder... in a blender... YUM!!!

Overall, based on counting the kilojoules on the packs or cartons, it totals about 1000 kilojoules. Loads of protein, and other good nutrients. And no I don't make it with milk simply because I don't like the gaggy effect of loads of dairy. You can make it with variations of milks - rice milk, soy or any other you like. I find it very satisfying and it keeps me going for hours.

Hope this helps someone looking for a handy 'low fat' smoothie style drink with eggs.

Eggs are very nutritious and I can see how they would be beneficial for weight loss.

Most of the times when we think of eggs we think of Salmonella and Cholesterol but eggs are one of the most nutritional foods in the world.
Egg whites are considered the measuring stick for all other proteins, because it contains all the amino acids needed for human consumption.

Hopefully, this information will be helpful.
