Nowadays, not everyone manages to eat right. Modern life takes place in a very energetic rhythm, which makes people resort to the services of fast food establishments, and this inevitably leads to a set of extra pounds. To eliminate such undesirable effects, a large number of diets have been developed, and one of the most common of them is the egg diet.
For a long time, experts argued about the harm and benefits of eggs for human health. Opponents of the egg diet focused on the high cholesterol content in this product, but recent studies have shown that eggs are very beneficial for the body and have many valuable properties. The cholesterol they contain is not as harmful to health as previously thought. Eggs contain vitamin K and vitamins of groups A, E, D and B, in addition to iron, calcium and other useful minerals. It is also worth noting the content of lecithin in them, which contributes to good brain function and memory improvement.
Eggs have another very important property that allows them to be used in diets – they have a low calorie content. One egg contains only about 100 kilocalories. Recent studies have shown that you can significantly reduce your appetite during the day if you eat eggs in the morning. There are many variations of the egg diet. The simplest of them is the use of any number of eggs for three days, if desired, you can also add some fruits or vegetable salads to the menu.
Fats, flour products and any sweets are excluded with such a diet, and coffee and tea are replaced with water. The egg diet is tolerated quite easily, but prolonged use of it can lead to a deterioration in mood and muscle weakness, which is typical for almost all low-carbohydrate diets. Therefore, its duration should not exceed 3-4 days, during which you can lose 4 kilograms.

Egg and orange diet
Many experts advise the egg-orange diet for people who are overweight and have impaired metabolism. Its basis, as you might guess, is oranges filled with vitamin C and many useful minerals, and eggs, which are an easily digestible and low-calorie product. In addition, oranges contain pectin, which promotes proper digestion and suppresses the processes of decay in the intestines.
This diet has earned its reputation in those days when oranges were in short supply in Europe. Now there are no problems with them, and many people, including celebrities, use this method of losing weight. Eggs with oranges complement each other perfectly, and the combination of trace elements contained in them allows you to achieve excellent results.
During the egg-orange diet, you need to eat five times a day, eating one and a half oranges and two hard-boiled eggs at each meal. It is advisable to drink clean and non-carbonated water. In the second week of the diet, fiber-rich vegetables and fresh fruits should be added to the diet. The number of oranges eaten per day should not exceed one kilogram.
It is impossible to continue the egg-orange diet for more than two weeks, in which case the body will lack animal proteins. Instead of body fat, muscle mass will begin to leave, and this will have a bad effect on health. After a month of good nutrition, the diet can be repeated. You need to get out of it gradually, including juices, fruit purees, boiled chicken meat in the diet.
Egg-curd diet
Since honey is included in the menu of the egg-curd diet, it is perfect for people who cannot imagine their life without sweets. At the same time, this is a rather strict diet, which is recommended to be followed for no more than three days, during which you can lose about three kilograms of excess weight. The breakfast of the first day should consist of a cup of coffee or tea, as well as a cocktail made from two chicken eggs and a small spoon of honey. The cocktail is whipped with a mixer.
For lunch, you can eat a small piece of low-fat cheese and drink a cup of tea with honey. Bread toast, your favorite fruit, and vegetable lean soup will make dinner. Breakfast on the second day is exactly the same as the first. Lunch should include a small portion of low-fat cottage cheese, a cup of tea without sugar, and a smoothie of eggs and honey. For dinner, you should eat lean meat or fish, vegetable salad dressed with vegetable oil and drink a cup of tea.
On the third day, breakfast will consist of the following dishes: a cup of black coffee, a fresh green apple, a cocktail of honey and eggs. The lunch ration includes a piece of low-fat cheese, bran bread toast and a vegetable salad seasoned with vegetable oil. It is also recommended to add a little lemon juice to the salad. For dinner, eat steamed vegetables, a hard-boiled egg, and a cup of tea.
Before using the egg-curd diet, you should consult a doctor or nutritionist. It is contraindicated in people with problems of the gastrointestinal tract and some other diseases. Tiring sports should also be postponed for this time, it is better to replace them with walks and light jogging.
Egg-honey diet
A mixture of honey and egg yolk contains a significant amount of minerals and vitamins, as well as healthy carbohydrates and proteins. Also, with an egg-honey diet, it is useful to eat half a lemon a day, which will provide the body with additional energy and speed up fat burning. This diet is not much different from many very low calorie diets.
The menu of the first day is as follows: breakfast – coffee with lemon or tea, a couple of egg yolks whipped with a mixer with a teaspoon of honey; lunch – coffee with honey or tea, 90 g of cheese; dinner – an apple, black bread, a cup of broth. At night, drink tea with lemon. The diet of the second day includes the following dishes: breakfast – tea with lemon or coffee, a mixture of honey and an egg; lunch – honey with an egg, a little cottage cheese, coffee or tea with lemon; dinner – tea with lemon, fresh vegetable salad, 150 g of poultry or fish.
Menu of the third day: breakfast – tea with lemon, apple, honey with egg; lunch – rye bread, a little cheese (50 g), salad poured with lemon juice (200 g).

Reviews and results of the egg diet
Nutritionists agree that it is impossible to stick to an egg diet for a long time, because with excessive protein intake, the liver and kidneys are heavily stressed. Among other things, in such a diet there is a clear lack of fat. If you strictly observe all the deadlines, then you can achieve good results. In addition, eggs have a large amount of amino acids, minerals and vitamins necessary for the full functioning of the human body.
Anna: in three days on an egg diet, she threw off as many as four kilograms, at first she herself did not believe it!
Yuliya: a few years ago, before the holidays, I tried the egg diet, lost eight kilograms in four weeks, after leaving the diet I lost another 4 kg.
Albina: for some reason I’m afraid to go on this diet again, the last time I first threw off a few kilograms, but then I also quickly gained them.
