protect your body from free radicals that cause damage to cells

If you're looking to lose 10 lbs quickly and easily, I recommend you check out the egg diet, which can help you lose 10 lbs in 7 days by eating only eggs and lots of vegetables.

How does it work?

Eggs are high in protein and other nutrients, including vitamin D, selenium, choline, lutein, and B vitamins – all of which help protect your muscles and keep them strong as you exercise.

Eggs also contain antioxidants that help protect your body from free radicals that cause damage to cells.

1) The premise of this egg diet

A single egg, boiled for precisely 5 minutes and consumed in a particular manner, is all you need for breakfast.

Make sure to finish it before your morning exercise, but no more than 60 minutes after waking up. That's it.

That's all you eat during a three-day egg diet – just one egg each day. As long as you don't eat any other food (except some unsweetened tea or coffee), you will lose 5 lbs in 3 days!

The idea of fasting may seem scary or even dangerous at first, but it can help speed up weight loss if done correctly!

According to health experts, eating too many calories causes most people to store fat instead of burning it off.

However, when you eat fewer calories than your body needs, your body goes into starvation mode and starts burning fat stores instead of glucose for energy.

This state is called ketosis, which allows our bodies to burn stored fat much faster, so we drop pounds quickly and easily.

But how do we get there?

There are many ways to trigger ketosis: from not eating anything for a few days (like water fasting) to following a strict high-fat, low-carb diet like Atkins or Keto. For example: eating only eggs and butter can put you into ketosis within hours!

2) To Eat Eggs or Not

Eggs are a fantastic breakfast food.

They keep you full, but they're also packed with nutrients.

However, their size can make it easy to overeat or eat more than you should in one sitting, especially if they're cooked in a way that makes them exceptionally delicious.

If you want to lose weight while eating eggs, keep track of your portion sizes and stop eating when you feel full instead of when there isn't an egg left on your plate.

That doesn't mean every day has to be hard-boiled; if scrambled or sunny side up is more your style (or if you prefer not to eat eggs), cook them that way! You don't have to be a one-egg kind of person.

Just pay attention to how much you're eating, so you don't overdo it. For example, adding extra vegetables to your eggs will bulk them up without too many calories.

The same goes for using reduced-fat cheese or cooking spray instead of butter—the flavor won't change too drastically, but you might add some beneficial vitamins without sacrificing taste.

3) An Introduction to the Egg Diet Plan

The egg diet is highly recommended for people who want to lose weight quickly and easily.

It is also suitable for vegetarians as it includes unlimited vegetables. Eating eggs every day will boost your metabolism, but it's also easy on your pocket because you won't need to buy any unique products or supplements, nor will you need a gym membership; all that's required is access to basic kitchen utensils.

Eggs have been long known as one of nature's best protein sources, making them ideal for boosting your metabolism.

The egg diet allows you to eat almost as many eggs per day as you like, which means very few foods out there can beat it in terms of calorie-to-weight ratio!

Eggs contain many vitamins and minerals, including calcium, selenium, iron, and vitamin B12.

They are also high in antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin—which help protect your eyes from age-related macular degeneration—and choline (an essential nutrient).

This diet does not require counting calories or points; instead, you should aim to eat between three and five eggs each day and unlimited amounts of vegetables.

You can drink as much water as you like too. Some people find it easier to use a calorie counter when they first start so they know how many calories they should be eating each day.

4) Calculating Your Calorie Intake

Before you start your egg diet, you'll need to calculate how many calories you should be eating per day.

There are a few simple equations to help get you started. First, determine your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and how many calories your body burns when at rest.

For men, multiply your weight in pounds by 11-14 depending on how active you are (10 if not active); for women, multiply your weight by 8-11 depending on activity level (7 if not active).

Next, add 500 calories for every 30 minutes of exercise per day—or subtract 500 from your total BMR if exercising less than 30 minutes per day. Finally, adjust calorie intake based on whether you want to lose or gain weight.

To lose 1 lb per week, reduce calorie intake by 500; to gain 1 lb per week, increase calorie intake by 500.

If aiming for somewhere in between, aim for 250-500 calories more or less each day.

5) Starting the 4-Week Plan

Eggs have been proven to be a great way to lose weight.

They are low in fat, high in protein, and are a good source of calcium.

One egg has about 70 calories, 1 gram of fat, 6 grams of protein, 0 grams of carbohydrates, and 180 milligrams of cholesterol.

You can eat three eggs a day on your diet.

Don't fry them or scramble them -- boil or poach them, so you don't lose any nutrients. Add some fresh fruit for flavor.

Start your day off with a hard-boiled egg, add two boiled eggs to a salad for lunch and finish up dinner with another hard-boiled egg.

If you're still hungry at night, try eating half an avocado instead of another boiled egg.

By following these simple guidelines over four weeks, you should see results!

6) Common Mistakes When Starting the Egg Diet

One of the people's biggest mistakes when starting a new diet is thinking it has to be done 100% perfectly.

I know you're all probably wondering, what's so hard about eating only eggs? Well, what may seem easy on paper (or your computer screen) can turn out to be incredibly difficult in practice.

If you can think back to when you first started your diets, you might remember certain things seemed super easy at first but then became immensely challenging.

When starting a new diet like the egg diet, try to keep an open mind about challenges you might face, so you don't give up too soon. For example, if you hate cooking scrambled eggs or omelets now, imagine how much harder it will be after losing weight!

That will help motivate you to get through some of those tough days. Also, start small by trying one meal a day instead of going cold turkey from day one.

You'll also have more time to figure out how many calories are in each meal before diving into two meals per day.

7) Conclusion – The Best Part Of This Plan

The best part of eating eggs is that they're healthy, tasty, filling, and versatile. Eggs are low in calories but full of nutrients like protein, vitamins A and B12, calcium, iron, riboflavin (B2), folate (B9), phosphorus, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Eggs don't raise your cholesterol or your blood pressure—they help keep both in check!

Numerous studies show that eating eggs regularly may be one of the healthiest habits you can adopt. And when compared to many other foods, we eat periodically like cereal grains or fruit—eggs shine through as a superfood.

Eggs make you feel full for hours on end without feeling sick or sluggish after a meal like bread often does. Plus, eggs taste great in many different forms: fried, scrambled, boiled, poached, baked...

You can add them to any dish you want for a little extra flavor and texture.

So if you're looking for a way to lose weight quickly and easily while still feeling satisfied at meals—eating eggs might be your answer!
