Thoughts on eggs

[Sharon1970]

Just wondered if some of the regulars have any thoughts about eggs. I currently have the muffins every day which means I am having two eggs a day, plus extra if I have egg and bacon. Is this safe?

I am over reliant on the muffins, they have become a habit so not sure how I will cope giving them up. Has anyone tried making them with less egg?

You can easily drop a yolk from the muffin recipe, just add a little more of whatever dairy you use.


I eat a lot of eggs and will worry about that later, for right now I need to lose and I'm skint, so eggs it is.

The official site says 5 yolks per week if you don't have a cholesterol problem, but I am with Jaqys on this one - I can worry about cholesterol later, and I eat loads of eggs.

I don't have a cholesterol problem but I thought too many yolks can slow or stall loss? Or is this only when a certain weight is reached?

Ive not heard of eggs stalling people.

You use two eggs per day in your muffin recipe? I use three yolks (and five whites for a four day batch of muffins...). Check your recipe! You can easily make a one day batch with just the white... they'll taste slightly different, now that you're used to the yolk, but if you're flavouring them / adding an ingredient such as pieces of smoked salmon, you might get away with it.

Me neither!

So does that mean I can have as many eggs as I want (no cholesterol problem) and not stall? (I am holding my breath here )

I think this is a question for the "reasonable man" in us... I'd not go silly, because we'll have to live with our arteries for a long time yet... don't you like chicken, steak, prawns, fish, etc. too?

Yes, I have all those but for me I really enjoy eggs for breakfast and then I also use them in my muffins. So I end up with tiny bits of a yolk in each, it would be nice to have a couple of whole eggs for breakfast and use the yolks in the muffins.

I also would love hard boiled eggs for a snack, added to salad on PV days the occasional omelet and on and on.

I'm sure too many slow my weight down. Is the only reason the official site says to limit them because of cholesterol? I don't know. I think it's just something to consider if you are stalling.

i had mainly eggs in the two weeks up to the wedding as i knew i will lose on them ......

I eat 30 eggs a week to 10 days roughly so alot and as the others have said i will worry about the cholestorol side later on ...( though some of that is just the whites)

sometimes i can only afford mince and eggs as the diet does hit your bank balance ....

Scrumper, thank you, you have made my day!! That is what I so wanted to hear. Someone successful to prove that egg yolks didn't stall their loss on Dukan.

Sadly at 52 I have to keep a beady eye on everything, I am a very slow loser. But I don't have a cholesterol problem so if I knew I could eat more eggs and lose that would be great!

 

[scrumper]

some people may be different bare that in mind though ....... I just know im fine on them !!!!

 

[slimdreamer]

Thank you Scrumper. I know, some people seem to drop weight so quickly and others like me, so I will perhaps after seeing what this week brings may start having more next week. At least there is some hope. Thank you again.
