What does the famous 'egg diet' consist of, designed to ensure express weight loss? Discover its principle, our opinion and our recipes.
The 'egg diet' or 'egg regimen' is a popular diet that has emerged over time and which requires, for a few days:
Radical, this low-calorie diet leads on average to the consumption of around 800 to 1,000 kcal per day, which is very little and can stress the body. An egg diet is therefore carried out over a few days, a week at most.
The egg diet should normally allow you to lose 2 to 4 kilos in a short week of dieting (5 to 7 days).
This weight loss is due to:
This diet with promising and tempting objectives is a potentially effective and rather 'old-fashioned' diet.
Although it is recommended by certain nutritionists such as Jean-Michel Cohen, it is often criticised for being difficult to follow (reducing the amount of carbohydrates consumed can be challenging), and for the significant risk of the yo-yo effect (gaining weight back after the diet).
Don't hesitate to contact a health professional for advice before trying this diet, and if you do give in to temptation, be sure to follow the precautions below.
Even in healthy people, such an express, radically low-calorie diet requires at least these 3 elements to be taken into account:
High-protein, the egg diet can overload the liver and kidneys, especially in people already suffering from pathologies associated with these organs (4). In general, this type of diet is strongly discouraged in the following cases:
Even outside of these conditions, do not hesitate to seek advice from a health professional before following this restrictive diet.
The egg diet generally recommends that you prioritise these foods:

In case of severe fatigue, headaches or other significant symptoms, gradually reintroduce a supply of complex carbohydrates (wholemeal rice, quinoa, oats, etc.)
For a 7-day egg diet, simply maintain a similar meal structure and composition by continuing the diet for 4 more days.
In addition to reducing your intake of carbohydrates, following an egg diet can lower your intake of micronutrients due to the lack of dietary diversity (despite the nutritional richness of eggs), and thus be responsible for deficiencies that are problematic for your health.
It is therefore in your best interest to accompany such a diet with a course of dietary supplements, namely:

This is my go to company for high molecular weight hyaluronic acid. Others either don't know or don't care to share the molecular weight of their product. I've been buying from SuperSmart USA for a long time and they offer consistent quality. A good company to work with as long as you can handle slightly longer shipping times.
