Hard Boiled Egg Diets

Boiled egg whites plus whatever might taste good that can fit in the center, and you are wasting the yolk. How healthy it is depends on what you put in the center, as does whether it works for weight loss or not (that and how much you are eating).

Just egg whites is a good source of protein, but not much else, plus boring. Also, wasting the yolks would make me sad -- I could never do a diet designed around wasting perfectly good food.

Same. Gimme all the yolks!

So combine the eggs with some brussell sprouts and you've got a party.

I love a warm Brussels sprouts salad that has hard boiled eggs in it and...yeah, it's funkytown afterwards, lol

The Hard Boiled Egg Diet may be boring, but its very successful. Plus, you can do a ton of food preparations with the hard boiled egg. Pop out the center, and then you can fill the holes with other food items, to perk up the taste. Plus, it's the egg yolk that has all the fat in the hard boiled egg, not the eggshell aka "whites".

Cost. This is one of the cheapest diets around, with proven results. Cost is one reason people quit other commercial diet programs, it starts to become too expensive with minimal results. If it's expensive, its hard to maintain long term. Plug your stats into MFP, set to one pound per week loss, eat the foods you like, get adequate nutrition, keep protein high, use a food scale, log accurately and move more.

And isn't the yolk where the iron is? I know eggs actually have less iron than I thought (just 5% of the RDA), but why deprive yourself when you're already falling short on other micros?

And like half the protein and all the rest of the nutrients. Seems really silly to throw away the part of the egg that has all the good stuff in it.

I'm glad I can afford to lose weight without living on hard boiled eggs. What happens when you lose the weight and start eating not hard boiled eggs? This is just another fad diet that you lose weight on because you are eating less calories than you burn, but the arbitrary rules make it seem like something special.

Is this a long term plan?

I wonder if OP will ever ask a question again. She no longer eggists.

Posters like that always come back. There was one that would come in with a name like catscats or ChironChiron or something like that who would post many questions on the most trivial topicss. She kept changing names over time...
