Just cook them in a normal amount and don't add extra when you eat them. Could just be that it was too much fat at one time. You really don't need more than they already contain.
If you do not add the fat then it is not the Egg Fast diet as designed. Obviously anyone can fast with just eggs but it would not be the Egg Fast Diet.
*rolleyes*
Keep rolling your eyes then because changing the diet as intended means it is not the diet.1 -
I would maybe just try carnivore for a few days and take a break from eggs.1

I'm rolling my eyes because she's explaining her e perpendicular on "an" egg fast and you're trying to school her.0 -
While not a fast I do eat 4-6 pickled eggs daily but I am a vinegar addict now I think.

That was not my intent I was just making a comment that changing the diet designed is not doing the diet. 0 -

@pdxhak - I would imagine that the difference here is "an egg fast" and not THE "Egg Fast Diet." @Sunny_Bunny_ did a type of fat fast with just eggs, as that was compliant with her own individual needs. She wasn't following the specific protocol designated with the formally titled "Egg Fast Diet." Many times, even within the official "Egg Fast Diet," participants are invited to tweak the plan to their needs.
As always, some people need more fats to remain satiated, others do not. Some need the fats to adhere to a protocol, others might not. My understanding, in general, of the intention of a fat fast is to simplify the intake of foods to eliminate sneaky carbs and do a sort of metabolic reboot, keeping the calories up enough to boost the base metabolic rate, etc. If one simply wanted to simplify and not add excess calories or fats, there is not a need to follow a formal plan, I wouldn't think. That's more of a formula for KISS/error-proofing...
Streamlined, basics, reboot, fat "fast" being a misnomer, it's all a reboot/simplification/streamlining tool system.
Tomato, Tomahhhhhto.... To me, it's just another tool in my toolbox. 4 -

Or just two eggs by themselves. The first few bites are great, but then I start thinking when is this going to end. Having the bacon between bites actually helps, I think. As for deviled eggs, I think I could still eat those at will.
As for flax flatbreads - maybe when I switch to maintenance. They look relatively high carb (I'm 20 or less, not counting fiber), and I don't want to make/bake my own, and I'd be worried something like that would trigger a real carb craving. Although, to be honest, I haven't missed or craved any of the 'foods' I gave up 1-1/2 weeks ago (fingers crossed).
Joseph's Lavash Flatbread is 7 grams carbs, 3 fiber, so 4 net for half of a HUGE flatbread. The full-size pita is 8 grams, 4 fiber, also net 4. I used to use these even in induction with keto. Unless you have exclusions required, you can use these...some are higher, admittedly, but these are my favorite for flavor and counts - no weird ingredients! They flatbreads cut into pieces and brushed with oil/butter and salted - then baked briefly - make an excellent cracker swap.
For me, it wasn't about missing something specifically, but occasional convenience. I'm happy to say that as the carb addict I was/am, these never triggered anything for me... Just for reference, for eventually... Not pushing. Just saying.
Well, it's good that you know some of what your hiccups are with food. Even a few years in, I'm still figuring out mine!
Not quite on topic, but love these bread options!0 -
I can do any fast ONCE
Try it again and I fail.
The only fasts I can do consistently consists of no food for 18-36hrs, just water, salt and maybe some broth. I think it is a mental thing for me. Too much of something really does have an effect on me, and I struggle to do it again. I feel nauseated and sick.
This faux "fasting" gimmick reminds me of a friend of mine whose mom made him choke down a pack of cigarettes and a pint of booze when he turned 13.
Sure, he drank beer and got high now and then, but he never touched cigs or hard liquor.
This was my father's approach. My sister? told to sit and, literally told to smoke until she puked. (1972). She puked on herself and he made her stay there.
Me? Rum in HS (1983). He made me eat the two things I hate more than anything, all day, while he told me drinking and barfing stories. He would NOT let me sleep it off. I've never had rum again!2 -
Yowza! Lets see.... when was Clockwork Orange going around? Sounds dreadful.0

My brother could never touch Southern Comfort after his first bad experience with liquor, for my cousin it was peach schnapps. I've never been sick or passed out from liquor even though I enjoy it, it's always been short of that point. That's why I even enjoy Fire and Ice shooters (tequila and creme de menthe).

From what I read, the folks into the Egg Fast Diet have rather strict rules on how to follow it. However it does not matter for this thread. Everyone has their own journey 3 -
Well, that's just the inner and outer beauty of our unusual group, isn't it?
All of us get to pick our very own flavors, colors, rules, etc., unfettered by what may or may not have worked for us or anyone else before!

Yup. I believe on the launch pad we called it "roll your own"!
it reminds me: everytime someone asks if anyone is on "the" slow carb diet I have to ask if they mean Tim Ferriss's thing, or eating slow carb. I've been eating slow carb for about 15 years, and calling it that. Tim Ferriss seems to think he made the phrase up, and has trademarked it. Maybe because he added a hyphen.

Hrrrmmm?
Sounds pretty generic-descriptive to me. That devilish, unobtrusive little hy-phen... 0 -
I cldnt do an egg fast as my brain and stomach often reject them. When I do eat them they are boiled w a little butter and loads of butter and back bacon. Without the extra butter I cldnt eat them at all.0
