People have a real bee in their bonnet as far as weight loss is
concerned. Keto diet, intermittent fasting, low-carb diets — people have gone
over their heads to try new weight loss mechanisms and give new hacks a shot.

The latest addition to the long list of fad diets is the ‘Boiled egg
diet’. If you are confused as to what this diet encompasses, you may judge this
book by its cover.

The boiled egg diet focuses on the consumption of eggs, especially
hard-boiled eggs. This eating plan ensures a low-carb, low-calorie intake. It can
help you shed off roughly 10 kg in just two weeks!

While eggs are a rich source of protein and fat, getting carried away is
not a healthy solution. Satiating your hunger pangs with boiled
egg may seem like a healthy approach, but it is not. Experts advise having
maximum two eggs in a day is sufficient. Excessive egg consumption can lead to
elevated cholesterol levels.

Eggs and weight loss go hand-in-hand

Eggs are loaded with high- quality protein.
Hard-boiled eggs are low-calorie, nutrient-dense food item that have been known
to stimulate weight loss. However, don’t forget to free your belly from the yoke
of yolk that is ill-famed for increasing cholesterol levels and weight gain. This
is the reason that people following strict fitness regimes consume only the
albumin of the egg.

The concept of boiled egg diet caught everyone’s
attention and a flood of its modified versions followed, which ensure healthy
weight loss as well as an adequate supply of essential micronutrients.

Eggs taken as breakfast do not make you feel
hungry again for a long duration. They are thermogenic foods and boost
metabolism. They contain all the essential amino acids in the right ratio. They
are rich in antioxidants, zeaxanthin and lutein, both present in the yolk, that
protect the eye.

While
its advantages continue to line-up, one should keep in mind not to consume more
than two eggs in a day, even while following a moderate intensity workout
routine.

eggs the right way
