My friends grandmother went on something she calls the egg diet... One egg in the morning... orange for lunch and an egg for dinner? Anyone know what this might be called by anyother name?

HOW IT WORKS \n\nThe Egg Diet is a low carbohydrate diet that works by nutritional fasting. Nutritional fasting is where you cease eating certain, but not all, nutrients. In this diet, the only nutrients that we cannot consume are carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the fuel for fat cells. By eating unlimited quantities of eggs, steak, cheese, and other foods that are low or void of carbohydrates, we can starve ourselves of fat fuel. \n\nNormally, when you eat carbohydrates, they are reduced to a simple sugar called glucose. In addition to your fat cells, all the other cells in your body also burn glucose. Excess glucose that is not used by the other cells is converted to fat and stored in the fat cells. When you don't eat enough carbohydrates to keep all your normal non-fat cells happy, your body has no choice but to start pulling from its fat reserves and converting the fat back into glucose. The important thing to remember is that this happens even if you have been stuffing yourself full of steak, cheese and eggs. Knowing this, we can lose fat while eating all we want of low carbohydrate foods. \n\nNormally, a person's diet is extremely high in carbohydrates (sugars and starches) and other nutrients. We more or less consume a balanced diet every day consisting of the four basic food groups - meat, milk, bread, and fruits and vegetables. While a balanced meal is a very nutritious meal, it is not acceptable for dieting. It is a long standing joke that pizza is a balanced meal. It contains all four food groups - the crust (bread), pepperoni (meat), cheese (milk), and tomato sauce (vegetable). However, if you were to just eat pizza all the time, your waist would swell up like a water balloon in no time at all. The part of the pizza that makes you fat is the crust. There is no other ingredient that does this. \n\nWITHDRAWAL SYNDROME \n\nBecause we are so used to eating carbohydrates by the shovel full, most of us are addicted to them. As such, you can expect to go through carbohydrate withdrawal when you first start this diet. Actually, the term addiction and withdrawal probably isn't the correct term to describe it, but you can pretty much plan on getting weak or sick when you first start the diet. This sickness usually manifests itself as simple weakness. Some people get a little nausea and others may get headaches. It usually only lasts for a day or two. If it becomes unbarable, you can always pop in a lifesaver candy to spread it out over several more days. What is actually happening during this period is that your fat cells are shifting gears from "Forward" to "Reverse". \n\nKnowing this, you shouldn't get too worried if you get a little sick when you first start this diet. However, as with all diets, you should consiult with your doctor before starting it to see if it is OK for you. While you are there, have the doctor test your cholesterol level. Then, after you have been on the diet for a while, go back and have it tested again and compare the results. For many people, their cholesterol will be lower after they have been on the diet a while. This flies in the face of all the anti-egg people who say that eggs are bad for your cholesterol level. I say that the proof is in the pudding. \n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nSugars are in the carbohydrate family - and so are starchy foods like bread, flour, pasta and potatoes. While sugars are the fastest substances that your digestive system can process into Glucose, starches are the next fastest. So fast in fact, that to your digestive system, there isn’t much difference. It takes only a few minutes to process certain starches, like bread for example, into Glucose. \n\nFats, on the other hand, are very complex molecules. Your digestive system has to really work hard to process fat into Glucose. Consequently, a lot of unprocessed fat simply passes on through and never gets converted. Ano

<>You are always "ancient" to your children.  My kids always asked me about dinosaur egg omelets.  One day, if they are lucky, they will realize just how much they depended on you.  You'll still be "way old," but they'll hug you and say "thanks!"

You've got the right idea with the biking, walking, and pilates.  Cut down on the overeating of the tuna, totally unhealthy.  You've definitely got the drive to lose the weight, so replace the tuna in the morning with some egg whites/mulitgrain bread for toast, or even oatmeal.  Toss in some ground turkey or chicken where you were eating tuna prior.  They're just as good a source for lean proteins.  Once a day, tuna is ok.  Not 3 times/day.

I usually try to mix up what I eat for breakfast-I found that the combination of protein & fiber keep me fullest longest. I usually eat some combo of cottage cheese & fruit, yogurt, toast, eggs, canadian bacon, & french toast made with butter spray & topped with sweet fruit of some kind. If you eat the fruits with the higher fiber content, you'll stay a lot fuller a lot longer, & dairy helped me lose the last 10 pounds to my ideal weight.

Since breakfast is suppose to be your most important meal of the day, I eat anything I want.  Fruits, yogurt & granola, whole wheat toast w/ peanut butter on it, cereal & milk, even an egg!  Once a week Ill have a slice of bacon, the idea is to give yourself variety, so you dont fall back into bad habits.  I go light for lunch, like salads, or cottage cheese, or crackers & cheese, (minimal amounts)  then meats and veggie for dinner, low carbs...  Lots of water to cleanse and detoxify!  I counted my calories!!!

absolutely, in fact this is proven to be true. there was some study regarding migraine suffers and after they went through all their symptoms and threw up many of them reported craving certain things like high protein and fat meals. they reported that after having that they felt better.  i think this is also true about pregnant women.  i think the egg thing with you is your body is craving proteins, i love eggs myself...put a little horseradish sauce (not pure horseradish) on it and eat it just like that, its spicy and good for you.  so go boil a dozen eggs and enjoy!

I scramble 2 eggs and use ready to serve canadian bacon.  I made those veggie quiche cups tonight from the book, they can be nuked in the morning for breakfast (2 of them).  I'm on day 2.  Good luck.  I found "crunchy snack listing for phase 1: \nRaw veggies, including celery, green or red peppers, cauliflower and broccoli florets \nDill pickles (seek out the no-sugar-added variety and limit your consumption if you're watching sodium intake) \nEdamame (boiled soy beans — sold by the bag in the frozen foods section of most supermarkets) \nSunflower seeds (count these toward your daily nut/seed allowance) \nSoy nuts

Going to church for today. We did an Easter egg hunt earlier in the week with my two married sisters and their children. After three rounds of the children finding the eggs the adults hid, the fourth round was reversed, and adults had to find the (hard-boiled) eggs the children hid. It was hard! There's still one somewhere in the living room we couldn't find! Usually we celebrate Easter with reading part of the New Testament or Book of Mormon about Christ's death and resurrection. My little brother is 18 and too old for Easter baskets. My mom used to make "bunny bread" in the shape of a large bunny, or bunny rolls which included a little "tail" in the middle.

I used to have a morning croissant breakfast sandwich from Carl's Jr at least 3 mornings a week. Then I looked up the information on it-580 calories and 69% fat. I stopped eating them, changed my diet, started exercising, drink water instead of soda, and have lost 28 lbs! No, no one forces the food down our throats, but they do make it look tasty and convenient. It's not their fault, though. It's our fault for falling for the marketing. It works.

Lots of fluid, water & orange juice.  No pop or sports drinks with sugar, etc.\nWe always go by the brat diet.  Bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast.  Chicken broth is also good or warm jello.\nHope you are feeling better soon!

I don't know about the losing weight part, but milk must be incorporated into everybody's diet as it is a great source of calcium and prevents us from developing osteoperosis in the old age. Women in particular, who are more prone to osteoperosis, should make it a habit to have 2 cups of milk a day, though men should do the same!! I'm a male and have found that warm milk is great to sleep before going to bed as it feels comforting and it's a great way of protecting your teeth from plaque overnight, as milk has been proven to cause the plaque to burst. (They're currently trying to develop tooth paste that consists of milk). So, reiterating my earlier point, make sure you drink milk everyday. It's so important...your body will be spared the pain and discomfort in your old age.!!
