Eat Eggs, Lose Weight

I bet you didn’t know that eating two eggs in the morning can speed up weight loss.

It’s a fact. And it’s been proven in a study of overweight people who ate either two eggs, or a single bagel – a 340-calorie breakfast – five days for eight weeks.

Do you know that the egg-eaters reported higher energy levels? And do you know that group lost 65% more weight than the bagel-biters?

‘Tis true. They reported it in the International Journal of Obesity. Gosh, there’s have a journal for EVERYTHING, isn’t there?

“Yeah, but what about cholesterol?” you are asking incredulously. Well, my friend, the egg-eaters showed NO effect on either their cholesterol or triglyceride levels.

What makes the two-egg diet work? The British Journal of Nutrition has concluded that eating high-quality proteins (like eggs) early in the day results in a longer feeling of fullness than if it were eaten in the later hours.

And that’s eggzactly why I have eggs for breakfast every morning.
