    I sure hope that your aren't required to maintain your weight loss for this competition. With your current approach, you'll be back where you started in no time, unless you keep up the fad diet.

    To answer your question, I guess if you eat 1 plain egg with 1 cup coffee with 1 tbsp butter/oil, then you're within the rules.

    I started keto because of the competition. I’m sticking with it because I feel great, I was just looking for a little bump. For the last week is all.

    And what do you mean my current approach?

    It’s been three months.

    The OP isnt answering quick enough for my big nose, so i went and googled it

    https://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2014/07/egg-fast.html

    "What is an egg fast? It’s a (short term) diet that consists of primarily eggs, cheese, and butter. For each egg you eat, you should eat a corresponding Tbsp of pure fat in the form of butter, olive oil, or coconut oil. You can also eat a corresponding Tbsp of full fat cheese per egg. Doing this will result in an extremely low carb, high fat, moderate protein intake that will kickstart your body into fat burning mode."

    "after reading through the threads it seems that the biggest issue people have is gaining the weight back when you go back to regular LCHF or keto. Across the board it seems that at least 90% of the people doing it will gain at least a portion of the weight lost back – "

    Kickstart & fat burning mode......yep, sounds legit :D

    3 months is just a short time when you compare that to the rest of your life to maintain.

    Obviously, lol. I’m completely content with slow and steady, I’m realistic. It’s just at the moment, I’m in a comp, that’s it.

    Can I drink BCP during a egg fast?

    What is BCP?

    I googled and got "Better Concrete Products". I'm thinking that's not it.

    :D

    The only person who has talked to me about an egg fast before now was a sweet, precious elderly man with no boundaries who I bumped into over Tupperware at a thrift store about 3 years ago.

    Either he was incredibly hip and ahead of his time, or this is some nonsense.

    I'm not judging. I just wanted to thank you for reminding of his whiskery little face.

    Why I would never join a weight loss...or a water drinking...competition.

    I think I would genuinely rather just fast for seven days than only eat eggs and butter. And I like eggs and butter!

    In that case, BPC should be fine if you're doing this to get rid of water weight. It's just fat and won't refill your glycogen stores (or stall your weight loss unless you're overeating). Good luck and hope you don't get suckered into any other aggressive comp in the future.
