Eat Eggs To Lose Weight

Eating Two Eggs A Day Can Help You Lose Weight

Eating 2 eggs a day could help you lose weight and cut down your cholesterol levels. A new study found that eating eggs for breakfast contributes to weight loss by making people feel fuller for a longer period. The study, published in The European Journal of Nutrition, provides evidence to support the scientific consensus that saturated fat, found in pastry, processed meats, biscuits and cakes, is more responsible for raising blood cholesterol than cholesterol-rich foods, such as eggs, which are low in saturated fat.

Researches from Surrey University fed two eggs per day to almost 50 overweight but otherwise healthy volunteers for 12 weeks. Thy also had to follow a reduced-calorie diet recommended by the British Heart Foundation. Another group followed the same diet, but cut out eggs altogether. Both groups lost weight and saw a fall in the average level of blood cholesterol.
