Description of diet
From the name it becomes clear that the basis of the egg diet is chicken eggs. Egg whites are easily absorbed by the body. Eggs are rich in vitamins and minerals. Due to the variety of flavors and calorie content, the egg diet can be maintained for quite a long time, because eggs allow you to get enough, and do not have to experience constant hunger.
On the egg diet, you can achieve excellent results if you follow a few simple rules:
- Meals should be three times a day, without snacks and adding additional products;
- You can eat vegetables and fruit without using salt and oil. Forbidden vegetables include potatoes, forbidden fruits - grapes, figs, bananas, dates and mangoes;

Since other foods can be added to the egg diet, it can be used for up to four weeks. But at the same time, you should carefully monitor your condition, even if the body normally accepts eggs, then with daily use as the main product, allergic reactions may occur, nausea, dizziness will appear. If these signs appear, the diet should be discontinued immediately.
Various options
Not everyone loses weight at the same rate. It depends on age, excess weight and the speed of metabolic processes in the body. When starting any diet, you need to understand that its main goal is not only to get rid of excess weight, but also to improve the general condition of the body.
The egg diet involves three meals a day. The last meal must be made no later than six o'clock in the evening. If you like fried eggs all the time on a diet, you should forget about it. Eggs were only half cooked, it was absolutely impossible to salt them.
There are several versions of the egg diet: one-week, two-week, three-week, and four-week. Depending on the duration of the diet, the range of permitted products also changes. The longer the diet, the more varied the diet.
If you have decided to go on an egg diet for the first time, it is best to start with a seven-day diet. This diet is often referred to as the egg-orange diet. During the day, you can only eat eggs and grapefruit or oranges. For breakfast, we eat an egg, an hour later a grapefruit, and so on throughout the day. With this diet, you can easily lose up to 10 extra pounds.
With a longer diet eggs, meat, low-fat yogurt, and cottage cheese are included in the diet from week two. You can use parsley, lettuce. All products are unsalted.
If you decide to go on a diet for three or four weeks, the egg diet can be more varied. Eggs and citrus fruits are eaten twice a day. For the third meal, you can use meat with vegetables, low-fat soup with cucumber and green salad, boiled vegetables, except potatoes. Food can be lightly salted.

Such a diet does exist. One of them is the Maggi egg diet. The name of this miracle diet may be misleading, but we can assure you that it has nothing to do with honest "chemical" products in the form of broth cubes. An important feature of the Maggi egg diet for compliance suggests the exclusion of non-natural foods from the diet. So, the Maggi diet is based on healthy foods and foods that bring tremendous benefits to the body. By following the rules of this diet, you can lose as much as 10-15 kg.

The essence of the egg-orange diet
The diet cycle is divided into weeks, starting, in most cases, on Mondays. We decided to divide it into seven days, without being tied to the days of the week. They say that on Monday a fresh start doesn't work, so start on a comfortable day. The first week will not please you with a varied breakfast. One of the pillars of the diet menu is a combination of eggs and citrus fruits. The simultaneous use of these products triggers metabolic processes in the body, during which "extra" fat is burned. This is a very serious job, which is why eggs and citrus fruits should be consumed especially early in the day.
With the help of this diet, extreme weight loss is possible. So in 5 days it is quite possible to lose 5 kg. Grapefruit can be replaced with oranges. A day you need to eat 6 oranges and 6 eggs. The duration of this extreme diet is up to 7 days.
Softer versions of the egg-orange diet are also possible. This method is designed for 4 weeks. For 1 week, 9 eggs and 6 oranges are eaten daily. In the second, third and fourth weeks, you can diversify your diet with fruits and vegetables, but only in raw form. So you can lose weight up to 10 kg per month.
Sample menu for four weeks
So, let's get down to the egg diet menu:
- During the first week you should eat grapefruit, tomatoes, eggs, cucumbers, fish, beef, chicken, zucchini, oranges. You can also eat fruits such as kiwi, apples, pears, the main thing is that they don't contain much carbohydrates.
- The second and third weeks of the diet are very difficult, but you have to weigh all the pros and cons, present the final results and continue the diet. You can eat boiled meat, cucumber, tomato, egg, fish, boiled vegetables

Doctor's opinion
American nutritionists have conducted research that states that eggs are the healthiest and lowest-calorie way to fill the body. This product contains almost all the necessary trace elements and vitamins, the antioxidant lutein, which is indicated for the elderly and athletes. Eating eggs prevents obesity and diabetes.
Due to the healthy fat content in eggs, satiety appears and hunger is dulled.
However, this diet is not completely suitable for people who are prone to allergic reactions. After all, eggs and citrus fruits are very allergic.
The content of a large number of vegetables and fruits in an egg diet will not make the body feel a lack of vitamins and minerals, unlike, for example, a protein diet. The diet triggers the production of carnitine, which also helps burn calories.
It should be borne in mind that according to sanitary and epidemiological station employees, 10 out of 20 thousand eggs sold are infected with bacteria that cause dysentery, vomiting and confusion. Her name is salmonella. It lies in the broken shell. Therefore, if you still decide to follow this diet, rinse the eggs thoroughly and boil them for at least 5 minutes.
Contraindications:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- severe liver and kidney disease;
- hypersensitivity to citrus fruits and eggs;
- increased cholesterol levels;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Reviews on losing weight
First review: Before the diet, I weighed 83 kg with a height of 173 kg. Despite the fact that I "give up" in the third week, I managed to get into my old jeans. Lose 10kg. I must add that I am actively involved in the gym. Maybe that's why this result. Hips "dropped" by 9 cm, waist - by 12 cm! He's so irritable!
Second review: After giving birth, we managed to lose 8 kg! In the opinion of the endocrinologists I visited, this is not just a diet, but a proper nutritional system. During the diet, the taste of acetone appears in the mouth. After visiting the endocrinologist (because there was a problem with the kidneys, I didn't want to take the risk), he advised me to drink more water. As a result, I lost 8 kg in 4 weeks!
Third tip: Only those who don't like eggs can run into trouble! I don't strictly follow the egg diet, but the basis of this diet is eggs, fruits and vegetables. About 5 eggs are eaten every day of the month. Stable, every day need about 200 grams. As a result, I lost 5500 in a month! This is despite the fact that I practically do not go on a diet and do not deny anything!
Thus, the egg diet makes it easy and enjoyable to achieve the desired weight loss. The results will last for a long time, as long as you don't immediately pounce on such a tasty hazard as sausage and chips.
