A study published in the February, 2010 issue of Nutrition Research has found that eating eggs helps stave off hunger and decrease overall caloric intake. Men who ate eggs for breakfast ate 112 less calories at lunch and 400 fewer calories over 24 hours than men who ate other breakfasts, an 18% overall caloric reduction. The researchers found that an egg breakfast lowers the appetite-stimulating hormone, grehlin.
Another study, a review conducted in 2004 by University of Illinois scientists, found that the amino acid in eggs, leucine, may prevent the breakdown of lean muscle mass, promote the burning of fat and stabilize blood glucose levels in dieting individuals.
A Harvard School of Public Health Study followed 117,000 people for 8 to 14 years and found that there was no difference in rates of heart disease between those who ate just one egg a week and those who ate more than one egg every day.
Another study found that eating eggs regularly may help prevent blood clots, stroke and heart attack and still another found that women who ate 6 or more eggs a week lowered their risk of breast cancer by 44%.
Eggs are extremely healthy, a great source of protein and although we don’t recommend eating them every day during phase 2 (2 egg whites and 1 whole egg can be substituted occasionally), we highly recommend them during phases 3 and 4!
