Egg Fast!! Who's in?

Hey guys,

I've been doing a relatively low carb diet for almost 3 weeks. I lost 5 lbs in the first week, but have been stuck for about 2 weeks now. I've been reading about this egg fast and I'm pretty interested in trying it. I'm going to plan to do it for 3 days, starting Monday July 21st, and see how it goes from there. Here are the official rules:

1. Must eat eggs as the primary source of fat and protein.
2. 1 tablespoon of butter used per egg consumed.
3. I must eat an egg no later than 30 minutes after waking. (This is when Im going to have my unsweetened soy milk latte instead)
4. The egg meals ideally should be eaten every 3 hours, but not more than every 5 hours.
5. I will follow this schedule even if I’m not hungry, however I’ll only have 1 egg when that happens.
6. Cheese will be permitted up to one ounce per egg.
7. A minimum of a half-dozen eggs must be consumed daily.
8. The eggs will be local pastured eggs loaded with healthy omega-3 fats and vitamin D. (this was his personal preference)
9. Egg consumption will cease three hours before bedtime
10. Diet soda will be allowed up to 3 cans daily with a goal of 1 or less. (I may have one as a treat at night)

I am making a couple small adjustments for myself, I'm allowing myself one cup of unsweetened soy milk each morning for my latte. The soy milk I have has only 3 net carbs (or less if I mix it with half unsweetened almond milk). I think that should be ok, and it will help me stick with the diet because I can't survive without my morning lattes :S. I'm also including avocado because It's high fat and low carb and delicious...and it resembles an egg...seems like it's meant to be haha. Avocados are also low in protein, so they're pretty perfect. I am going to keep it as low carb as possible, while staying high in fat and with moderate protein.

I would love to find other people who want to join me in this challenge. We can post progress and keep each other motivated.

Like I said, I'm starting this Monday, so that gives a little time to go out and buy some eggs, cheese, butter, whatever.

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

I'm gonna guess I would have been better off posting in "Low Carb Friends", since the egg fast is nothing new in those threads. I've also done a lot of reading on it, there is definitely a lot of information out there, but I'm assuming most of you didn't bother to do any reading on it. Instead you just turned it into a big joke. Whatever happened to the saying " if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"? Instead you guys take part in these silly " flirt, kiss, take home" posts??

And don't assume that I'm not healthy, I know how to lose weight in a healthy way. I've weighed anywhere between 130-145 in the last 10 years, so I'm doing something right. I also realize how a calorie deficit works. But have you read any information on a LCHF diet? I take out all the processed foods and fill my diet with green veggies, lean protein, and lots of healthy fats (coconut oil, grass fed butter, eggs, avocado). And because the diet is higher in fat and protein, I stay satisfied longer and don't crave sugar...therefore, wait for it.... I can much more easily have a calorie deficit each day, and not feel deprived.

Also, if you did some more reading, you would learn there are many short term, healthy weight loss plans for breaking through plateaus. Again, I weigh 135, and I'm trying to break through the last few pounds, which can be a lot more challenging then losing 5lbs when you weigh 235lbs. So maybe try being a little more open minded, do a little more research, and keep these forums on motivating each other and being open to discussion on new topics instead of assuming you know everything. And if you feel like just making jokes at someone else's expense, maybe the "Motivation and Support" thread isn't for you.
