I know there has been a constant back and forth with eggs. What is everyone's thoughts on eating eggs with their high cholesterol?

    I think it's been debunked.
    I'm considering doing an egg fast( to try and get rid of these last few kgs quickly) for 5 days where you eat nothing but eggs and butter and a bit of cheese. 6 eggs and 6tbs of butter per day :o

    Dietary cholesterol is pretty much inconsequential to our blood serum levels, and as far as the fat in eggs they've always had positive effect on our cholesterol levels. Basically eggs are a pretty damn fine food to consume, period.

    Eggs are a whole food. Eating chloresterol does not increase your chloresterol level.

    My cholesterol went down once I started eating eggs. And they're yummy.

    I could definitely eat breakfast 3X a day for 5 days, but what? What is the science or pseudoscience behind this? I would actually like to know. And how much cheese?

    Now I'm hungry for omelettes.

    Love eggs. Matter of fact, a veggie-stuffed omelet is a great dinner if you're feeling too lazy for something creative, and want a healthy meal. Or breakfast. Or any time.

    I'm not sure of the science behind it. I just joined the FB group, so I'm still learning. Apparently it puts you into ketosis. It's followed by a lot of LCHF'ers.

    I just finished my dinner: a mushroom and green pepper omelette. It was delicious. Whoohoo for eggs:).

    I'm looking it up now, thanks! I think a ketogenic diet would be too strict for me but good luck to you.

    Thanks. Yeah I think I'd struggle on such a low carb diet.

    I have eaten a boiled egg first thing every morning for the last 5.5 months and still look forward to it. :p

    Vladimir Nabokov claimed the boiled egg was the perfect food. (You can decide if this is good or bad.)

    I just ate 8 egg whites sauteed with 3 cups of spinach and 2 tsps of olive oil and topped it off with goat cheese. (I used the 8 yolks yesterday in a greek chicken soup.) Eggs are lovely, lovely to eat and very healthy too.
