Fasting is a common tradition of quitting or limiting food intake. It has been practiced for thousands of years for religious and health reasons.
In recent years, fasting has become a popular way for people to lose weight. Egg fasting is a short-term diet plan that mainly consumes eggs, cheese and butter. It is popular with those who are trying to break through the stagnation of diet, especially those who are on a chitogenic diet.
This article explains what egg fasting is, rules, efficacy, and risk.
What's egg fastening?
Egg fasting is a short-term diet plan developed by blogger Jimmy Moore in 2010.
It's a limited ketone diet.—Ketone diet is a diet method of eating foods high in fat, moderate in protein, and low in carbohydrates.
Ketone diets help the body enter ketosis's metabolic state, and during ketosis's metabolic state, ketone begins to be used as an energy source instead of glucose.
The purpose of egg fasting is to get out of the stagnation of diet. Diet stagnation is a time when body fat loss has stopped and weight loss plans have been discouraged. Some people help their bodies enter ketosis by egg pasting before starting a ketone diet.
There are 10 rules in this plan as follows.
1. The whole yolk and white of eggs are the main sources of fat and protein.
2. Every time you eat one egg, you should eat one spoon of butter or healthy fat.
3. You should eat the whole egg (yolk + white) within 30 minutes of waking up.
You should eat a meal made of eggs every four hours.
5. You have to eat even if you are not hungry.
6. You can eat up to an ounce of fat cheese every time you eat an egg.
7. You should eat at least seven eggs a day.
8. Eggs should be eggs produced by locally grazed chickens as much as possible.
9. You should stop eating 3 hours before bedtime.
10. You can drink up to three cans of diet soda a day, but aim for less than one. These are the most common rules, but people tend to make their own rules by changing themselves.
Typical egg fasting lasts three days because it is enough to overcome the stagnant diet. Egg fasting is not recommended to last longer than 5 days as it can pose health risks such as malnutrition and constipation. Egg fasting is not suitable for people with certain diseases, such as diabetes, eating disorders, cholesterol hypersensitivity reactions and gallbladder-free people.
It is not suitable for people who can't eat eggs, such as vegetarians and people who are allergic to eggs or avoid eggs for religious reasons.
The effect of egg fastening.
So far, egg fasting has not been scientifically studied.
The following effects can be expected through a short-term and limited ketone diet that encourages egg intake.
Egg fasting lasts only four days, so you may not be able to fully enjoy the effects of existing ketone diets.
Egg fasting has several effects as follows.
It can help you lose weight.
Egg fasting is a very limited short-term diet that limits the type of food you can choose.
Studies have shown that daily calorie intake can be reduced naturally while limiting the type and number of foods available.
The plan is also based on the ketone diet principle that can promote ketosis conditions.
Studies have shown that ketone diets can help reduce fat, maintain muscle mass, inhibit appetite, and improve the labeling of diseases such as high blood sugar, triglycerides and cholesterol levels.
However, egg fasting lasts only 4 days, so there may not be enough time to reach ketosis. In some cases, it may take more than a week to enter this state.
