Day 2 Egg Diet

Day two of the all egg diet was rough. I felt very sluggish and the sugar cravings were intense. I did a light workout anyway but I was lacking my normal energy. I have been through sugar detox before so I expected this. I knew the only way to feel better is to push through. I ate 15 eggs yesterday with a little hot sauce. My weight is still going down fast which is the silver lining. I also love that I don't have to waste a lot of time on food prep or wondering what I am going to eat each day. I boil my eggs each day, peel them and they are ready to go. I am not even sick of them yet. Luckily I really love eggs. :) Success so far!

Day 1 Egg Diet

Well yesterday was my first day on the Egg diet. I ended up eating 16 eggs yesterday. I ate 4 eggs at a time 4 times yesterday. I was pretty hungry as I was detoxing off sugar/carbs. I also got a headache in the afternoon from withdrawals. I took some advil and felt better. My energy levels were pretty good. I did 45 mins of cardio and a upper body weight lifting session. I woke up this morning feeling really great. I also weighed in 4 pounds down already! I know a lot of this was water weight but it still feels good to see the scale going down. I ate the hard boiled eggs plain yesterday. Today I may dip them in mustard, hot sauce or soy sauce to make them more appealing. I am not sick of them yet but I have 20 days left to go! Thanks for following my little experiment. I'll be back to update tomorrow. :)

Why an Egg Diet?

Hello, my name is Egg Girl and I am a sugar addict. I have used and abused food for most of my life as a coping mechanism. Let's face it, life is hard and having something to comfort you and take the edge off feels good temporarily. However after losing quite a bit of weight I have started gaining again and I am not feeling comfortable in my own skin. I have found that I only overeat processed carbs and sugar. When I do a lower carb lifestyle I seem to have less physical cravings and feel better. I do however still fight with the mental cravings that tell me I want cake now! :) I decided I wanted to do a detox of sorts where I focused all of my daily calories on fat/protein. I have been researching a lot and read several things about the Egg Diet but there was very little written about actual people's results. I decided for 21 days I will egg only hard boiled eggs. I will eat when hungry and not for pleasure. I will detox of carbs and sugar. It would be nice to lose some weight in the process too. I will be updating my results here so in the future people can see a real life account on what it is like to drop to zero carbs and live on only whole fresh organic free range eggs for 21 days. Today is the start of my little experiment. I woke up this morning and weighed in. I am 5'7'' and currently weigh 192 pounds. I will let you know how this goes! Wish me luck! ;)
