I'm going to start a chocolate diet. Who's in?!
As long as it's only chocolate eggs I'm in....
Cadbury cream eggs. My eyes just glazed over and I started drooling.
OP, this is not a balanced or sustainable plan. Please reconsider. Based on the responses in this thread, I would guess that if you are still going to go ahead with it, it will be a solo flight. Read through the links that have been given and be kind to your body.
LETS START THE CADBURY EGG DIET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In for the Cadbury creme egg diet.
Way ahead of you ladies!
I've already been issued a patent on this diet, in order to participate you MUST send me a package of those tasty eggs...
There's always a price to pay for the good stuff!!! LoL
You said chocolate egg, not specifically Cadbury. Don't make me come over there.... :grumble: :grumble:
People trying to steal my chocolate eggs.... :grumble: :grumble:
Kidding! I'll send you my left-overs :laugh:
Hey! I'm just covering all the bases!
Oh wait, that doesn't make me a bully does it?0 -
Well, of course I have to pipe in. First, all she is really doing, is a type of LCHF diet transition. I am on the LCHF (Low Carb High Fat) diet for nearly 90 days. It is the first "diet" that I have ever been able to go so long without "cheating". I say diet and cheating, but really this is a lifestyle I am able to maintain and be happy with the foods I eat.
That said, yes, the other posters are correct. As soon as you go off your "egg fast", you are going to gain 25% to 50% of the "weight" right back. I did the "fat" fast for the first 10 days of my initiating my transformation and dropped 21 pounds in that 10 days. Mostly, water!! ....and I quickly gained back about 7 of those pounds. But, I put my body in heavy Ketosis and kept it there ever since. SO, if your point is to put your body in Ketosis, because you plan to stay Low Carb for the remainder of your weight loss, then you are starting right....depleting your glycogen stores. If your point is to simply break a stall, and you will go back to carbohydrate consumption, then you will most likely put on a few extra pounds as your body will quickly store the carbs for future carb starvation episodes.
Dangerous.....for three days.....ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Our bodies store enough of what we need to more than handle three days of fasting....so three days of an "egg fast" are not going to hurt you. I ate nothing but macadamia nuts, butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese......for 10 days on a doctors advice and a nutritionists guidance.....the result.....off of all my diabetes injections and down to only half of one oral med. Others would have said to do that for 10 days (90% of my calories from saturated and other fats) would be DANGEROUS.
In ending....I think whatever makes you happy.....you should do....but be sensible in what you do. Ask yourself what you plan to accomplish and do the research to back up your decision. The Internet is crawling with reliable resources to help you break that stall. Me.....I am in the middle of a heavy stall right now.....but I have lost 40 pounds in under 90 days.....my body needs time to adjust....so I will keep doing what made me lose the first 40 pounds and just wait it out until my body catches up. Also, usually during stalls....you are actually losing inches instead of weight.
My thoughts.
Finally, someone who understands the principles I am following. I have been on low'ish carb (30-40g a day) and have stayed in ketosis. But it's been 2 weeks since Ive lost anything, so the egg diet is just a way to get my carbs lower. The "rule" of just eggs makes it simple, which I like. And like you mentioned, it's only 3 days, and there is absolutely nothing dangerous about that...in fact, it might be good for me.1 -
I'm seriously lmfao!! Egg diet sounds absolutely ridiculous!!! I needed a good laugh today. Btw, I'm in for the chocolate diet though!! Lol0
-
Thank you. I've actually read this and many others. Its not meant to be a life plan obviously haha. Im headed to a music festival in a couple weeks, and I would like to get rid of my last 5 lbs and the excess water weight.
Is there a weight limit at said music festival? Why does it matter? And, as soon as you stop this diet (like at the concert--I'm guessing you won't bring a carton of eggs with you), that water weight will go right back on ya.
Random out-loud pondering to no one in particular: Oh, why oh why is "water weight" such a bad thing, especially to some women? People are just water-filled meat bags, after all.
Its a 3 day plan to break a stall... Why is no one understanding this? haha. The festival isn't for 2 weeks! After the 3 days I will go back to the low carb diet I am currently on ( which is 1200 to 1400 calories)
You've been on your diet for 3 weeks and lost 5 lbs with very little to lose how is that a stall????
But do whatever you plan on doing... the rules are overly restrictive, ridiculous and most are based in old diet myths.0 -
I can't get past the 'tablespoon of butter with each egg"!! Blech!! That's a lot of butter...0

Wrong. I want someone who has done, or has experience with a LCHF diet, since that is pretty much the idea behind the egg fast.0 -
Can i do something similar with chicken? Thats kinda like eggs, right?0

People actually do... lots of people. If you want information and the health benefits of LCHF head over to the forums on Low Carb Friends. Way more discussion on the science behind it there.0 -

Don't pay much attention to most of these posters with heir negative comments and remarks. When my doctor put me on the Low Carb High Fat Diet, most of my friends called my doctor a quack and told me I was going to kill myself with the fat intake (heart disease, cholesterol, etc...). Well, after about a month and a half of watching what I got to eat and how I was losing the weight like an onion peeling its skin (SIZE 24W TO NORMAL 16/18 IN 11 WEEKS), nearly half of them (those that criticized) are now going on the same diet and losing the same weight.....with improved blood labs and lowered heart disease risk factors, better blood pressure, better sugars, better triglycerides.....etc...
I believe everyone should have a chance to respond, if you put a post out there. They should be able to speak their minds freely. However, I think some of these "younger, less educated" posters could do so in a more intellectual manner. Back up your responses with some kind of fact or research (of the legitimate type). Don't just knock a person to the ground. That is NOT what MFP is all about, is it? I think some apologies are due. I don't think you need to be ridiculous here.
We are all here to SUPPORT one another......aren't we??????1 -

What I do find quite telling is that the people who are stalled in weight loss are all on the low carb bandwagon.0 -
What the heck is this?
OP, why don't you just restrict your overall calories and exercise like the rest of us on here?
You may lose weight but you will gain it right back because you're obviously not going to be eating eggs for the rest of your life.
I hate when people don't want to actually create a calorie deficit and exercise - they'd rather try a fad diet for 3 days and then go back to normal. It's stupid.
Create a calorie deficit for yourself and exercise at least 30 minutes every day. You may not drop the weight in 3 days like you would on this "egg diet", but it will be long term weight loss and healthier.0 -
When my doctor put me on the Low Carb High Fat Diet, most of my friends called my doctor a quack
Now we're talking about a duck egg diet, that's a whole different bucket of worms right there.0
