    You know sometimes I feel like I have to walk on eggshells to get my point of view across on MFP.

    I've poached every single egg pun here to use on the next egg diet thread.

    That's smart. I've really been scrambling to come up with material.
    Did you end up with egg on your face?

    Why would you do that to yourself when you could just eat sensibly with a calorie deficit and actually lose weight in a sustainable manner?

    To eggspand on a more serious note, if done for 28 days, what will OP do about vitamin C? There's none in an egg. Is this also called the scurvy diet?
    Vitamin k is also very low (1% in a raw cup of eggs). Niacin is the same.
    That seems like some serious dietary deficiencies for something done for 28 days.

    What are you're takes on this diet? Has it worked for anyone on here? Is it worth trying it?

    Well, I started this diet when I was much younger. Didn't last long because I farted a lot (not on purpose, they had a way of escaping). Those farts were so horrible smelling that my choices were to continue the egg diet and have no family and friends near me, or give it up and try something else so I wouldn't be all alone in the world.

    I chose the latter, and in came Slim Fast, or some other silly fad diet that made grand promises. None of them worked.

    So, here's the deal. You will lose lose weight on the egg diet if you eat at a calorie deficit, but if you don't eat at a calorie deficit while on this diet you will not lose weight. Therefore, why not just have some eggs in your diet if you like them, round your dietary plan with lots of wonderful other foods that make your day, eat at a calorie deficit, and lose weight that way?

    In my personal opinion, fad diets are the biggest setup for failure. At least, before I learned that eating at a calorie deficit is the only requirement to lose weight, I fell for the fad diets a lot.

    Good luck. :)

    Isn't that the diet that has eggs and grapefruits for breakfast that used to circulate in the 90s? I'm all for fad diets, but this one is VILE. You will be put off by eggs for months if not years. To top it all it's a very low calorie diet where you consume less than 800 calories a day. Yes you will lose weight simply due to the severe calorie restriction, but keeping it up for 4 weeks can be dangerous.

    I think it is. It's very tortuous, and I lasted less than five days on that one. I was a teen and my mother was pretty upset at me for doing this diet (she didn't believe in any diet except for eating less food).

    Quoting an article on the Boston Medical Center's site, "An estimated 45 million Americans diet each year and spend $33 billion annually on weight loss products. Yet, nearly two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese." If these things worked, America wouldn't be so fat. There's no substitute for making permanent lifestyle changes (including diet).

    Your farts would be legendary

    Came here to say this. Nothing like adding even more sulfur to the gaseous emissions.

    I love eggs and I eat a lot of eggs. But this "diet" is too much. It doesn't teach you how to eat in the long run.

    I too love eggs. I think I'll boil some up to have an egg a day in my diet next week.

    See, eggs are indeed good....in moderation.

    I eat two as a bedtime snack most days. Love me some eggs!
