The essence of the egg diet

The 14-day egg diet is one of the low-carb options. It is based on chicken eggs, which are the main source of nutrients. Wise nature has provided the bird embryo with all the substances necessary for its full growth and development. Therefore, under the eggshell, all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fats that are also necessary for the human body are located in concentrated form.

Chicken eggs are a source of valuable nutrients

Although low in calories, eggs have high nutritional value. On average, 1 egg (raw) contains:

proteins - 7.8 g;
fat - 7 g;
Carbohydrates - 0.38 g;
kilocalories - 99.

The average number of eggs that you need to eat per day during a diet is 4 – 6 pieces. They perfectly saturate the body, stimulate brain function and high performance. An egg breakfast keeps you away from hunger until lunch. Moreover, at lunch the body does not need a large amount of food to regain the feeling of fullness. In addition to eggs, the diet includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as meat.

The absence of slow carbohydrates forces the body to look for another source of energy. It becomes fat accumulated by the body. When broken down, it provides nutrition to cells, partially replacing glucose. The result of a two-week egg diet is a weight loss of 5 - 7 kg.

Analysis of the dietary diet rightfully allows us to classify the egg diet as a protein diet.

How to get out of a diet

Having overcome all the difficulties and lost 4-7 kg of weight (this is exactly the effect that the diet developers promise), you can take a breath. But you shouldn’t pounce on food and sweep away from the table everything that you so courageously denied yourself.

You should return to your usual diet gradually. Over the next 4 weeks, the portions should not be increased too much.

Food should remain low-calorie in composition. Avoid fatty and fried foods. Minimize your consumption of sweets and baked goods. Get rid of the bad habit of eating at night. Try to maintain weight. You can repeat a similar experience only a month later, provided you feel well.

Doctors' opinion

Don't be horrified by the number of eggs you need to eat per day. Doctors have long since changed their minds about this product. On the contrary, today it is recommended that women eat 2 eggs a day, and men - from 4 to 6 pieces. Egg yolk, which provides the main nutritional value, contains a lot of pure lecithin - a substance without which the normal functioning of all body systems is impossible. It neutralizes the harmful effects of cholesterol, preventing it from depositing on the walls of blood vessels. Therefore, doctors have nothing against the egg diet. But with one caveat. This is a diet for healthy people. It has a number of contraindications and side effects.

Side effects and contraindications

The lack of slow carbohydrates in the diet can cause weakness, a constant feeling of fatigue and dizziness. Some women reported bad breath. Muscle mass may begin to deplete. In this case, it is recommended to reduce physical activity and replace sports with regular walking.

If such symptoms become too obvious, then it is better to abandon the egg diet.

The egg diet is contraindicated in the following cases:

if cholesterol levels in the blood exceed the norm;
for diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract;
in the presence of allergies and individual intolerance to the main components of the diet;
during pregnancy and lactation.

In any case, you should consult your doctor before starting a diet.

Is physical activity allowed during the diet?

Sport is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle, so its practice during a diet has a good effect on accelerating the process of losing weight, and also normalizes the functioning of the heart and blood vessels.

The protein received by the body during sports will actively build and strengthen muscle mass, so the use of physical activity will have a great effect on overall tone.

Basic principles

The egg diet is distinguished by strict adherence to the diet. It consists of a limited number of products. It is prohibited to add or exclude anything from the diet. This does not apply only to low-fat cottage cheese, which can sometimes replace eggs. It is also not recommended to swap the set of products (for example, lunch and evening ones).

The basis of the diet is eggs, vegetables and lean meat

Combining foods and eating them at the specified times of the day rebuilds the metabolism. This provokes chemical reactions in the body aimed at breaking down fat.

The diet provides for three meals a day without snacks. Dinner should be 4 hours before bedtime (ideally around 6 pm). Another “highlight” of the diet is the combination of eggs with citrus fruits (orange or grapefruit). Moreover, these products are used in pairs only for breakfast. The fruit is eaten first, then the eggs. This order is justified - citrus contains sodium, which suppresses hunger. Pectins in grapefruit “sweep” harmful cholesterol out of the body. Throughout the diet, the daily amount of fluid should be at least 2 liters per day.

The following products are completely prohibited:

any broth, including vegetable;
animal and vegetable fats;
starchy vegetables;
any fatty meat;
all cereals;
sweet fruits - figs, bananas, grapes, dates;
confectionery and flour products, including white bread and pasta;
chocolate, coffee, alcohol.

Egg-orange diet

It is one of the varieties of the egg diet. The main products, as the name suggests, are eggs and oranges. They go well together and complement each other. A diet designed for 14 days is called gentle.

Features of the weight loss technique

From the name of the diet, it’s easy to guess that the main product of this diet is eggs. This product was taken as a basis for a reason. Chicken eggs are almost completely absorbed by the human body and contain vitamins, macro- and microelements that help internal organs work properly. In addition, they are a low-calorie product.

On a note! Nutritionists say that chicken eggs contain valuable protein, which is the standard for evaluating other proteins.

The daily menu of the egg diet for 2 weeks includes foods high in protein and minimal amounts of fat and carbohydrates. Thanks to this, in addition to the breakdown of fat deposits, muscle fibers develop and strengthen. With a limited supply of carbohydrates in the human body, an energy deficit occurs, as a result of which hidden glycogen reserves begin to be consumed. First, it is taken from muscle tissue and liver, and then from fat. As a result, they split, which leads to a decrease in body volume.

Since the daily menu includes an orange, this diet, designed for 2 weeks, is often called the egg-orange diet. In addition to oranges, you can use grapefruit or other citrus fruits. As is known, they promote active burning of fat deposits.

Reviews

The egg diet turned out to not be hungry for me at all; I can easily do without sweets and baked goods! When alternating eggs and cottage cheese, the former don’t get too boring) In my case, the lack of salt in cooked dishes is only beneficial! And I had to get used to drinking 2 liters of water a day - but without that amount of water you can harm your body! Surely you have noticed an acetone taste in your mouth when dieting? If yes, then urgently increase your water intake - intoxication of the body has begun! After giving birth, I lost 8 kg on it! After finishing the diet, my weight did not change, I even lost about another kilogram! If you immediately begin to indulge in sweets and baked goods, then perhaps the weight will return a little! But, believe me, the desire to eat harmful things disappears!

I use this diet when I need to lose 3-4 extra kg. I generally adore eggs, I can eat them for days) In addition to eggs, there are also fruits, vegetables, and meat. Such a diet does not affect my mood, because I don’t feel like eating more than I should.

Today I have my first achievements - 500 g. In order not to eat a lot of eggs, I eat one egg for breakfast, and during the day, if I need to eat another egg, I eat 1 low-fat yogurt. Those who have been on this diet say that eggs can be replaced with low-fat yogurt or kefir several times a week (the main thing is at least some protein). To be honest, there was practically no feeling of hunger because of that. that you can eat a lot of fruits or vegetables. So, in principle, maintaining a diet is not difficult.
