The egg diet has gained widespread popularity due to its amazing performance. Tens and even hundreds of thousands of its adherents on all continents will confirm that the egg diet is really effective, and it will not only give predictable and impressive results, but also be easily tolerated.

Egg diet requirements for 2 weeks
The diet is based on ordinary chicken eggs, it is a natural and relatively low-calorie product containing all the vital components for the regeneration of body tissues. Although the diet is called an egg diet, in addition to eggs, the menu includes meat and fish, alternative protein foods, because otherwise 4-6 eggs a day is too much.
The second most effective ingredient on the menu is grapefruit, and its properties as an effective fat burner are well known.
The menu contains an abundance of fruits and vegetables, at the same time creating a feeling of absence of hunger and supplying the body with additional vitamins, minerals and amino acids during the diet process.
For 14 days on an egg diet, you can immediately lose 7 or more extra pounds, but the result will be if you follow its very strict rules:
- Eggs are allowed to be boiled and boiled, and soft-boiled, and fried (but without oil).
- Vegetables can be eaten raw (for example in salads) and boiled (also without oil).
- It is imperative to observe the drinking regime (increase the additional volume of liquid to 2 liters). You can coffee, green, fruit or black tea, and drinking water (regular, still and non-mineralized).
- The addition of any fat should be completely eliminated. This also applies to all vegetable salads and food preparation (also fry without oil). For dressing, it is permissible to use sauces that do not contain oil, such as soy and tomato sauces or ketchups that do not contain fat.
- You cannot replace products in the menu, but it is permissible to exclude something altogether (for example, fish for lunch / dinner on Friday).
- Salt and sugar should be excluded.
- It is highly desirable to increase physical activity (within reasonable limits). While other diets are generally discouraged, the high-protein egg diet menu contributes to this.
