Then, a 4-week egg diet, a detailed menu, reviews and results will be taken into account!
Description of the diet
As the name suggests, the basis of the egg diet is chicken eggs. Egg white is easily absorbed by the body. Eggs are rich in vitamins and minerals. Due to the variety of tastes and calorie content, the egg diet can last a long time, because it allows you to get enough eggs and does not need to constantly feel hungry.
If you follow a few simple rules in the egg diet, you can get excellent results:

But at the same time, you need to monitor your condition carefully, even if the body normally takes eggs, their daily use can cause allergic reactions as the main product, nausea and dizziness may appear. If these symptoms occur, the diet should be stopped immediately.

Not all people lose weight at the same rate. It depends on age, overweight and the speed of metabolic processes in the body. When you start any diet, you should understand that the main goal is not only to get rid of extra pounds, but also to improve the overall condition of the body.
The egg diet consists of three meals a day. The last meal should be made no later than six o'clock in the evening. If you love fried eggs all the time in your diet, you will have to forget about them. Eggs are cooked only in a soft-boiled way, it is impossible to salt them.
There are several versions of the egg diet: one week, two weeks, three weeks and four weeks. Depending on the duration of the diet, the set of permitted products also varies. The longer the diet, the more varied the foods.
If you have decided to switch to an egg diet for the first time, it is best to start with a seven-day diet. This diet is often called the egg-citrus diet. During the day you can eat only eggs and grapefruit or orange. We eat an egg for breakfast, an hour later a grapefruit and take turns during the day. With this diet you can easily lose up to 10 kilograms.
From the second week with a longer egg diet, meat, low-fat yogurt and cottage cheese are included in the diet. You can use parsley, lettuce. Not all products are salty.
If you decide to keep a diet for three or four weeks, the egg diet may be even more varied. Eggs and citrus fruits are eaten twice a day. For the third dish, you can use low-fat soups, boiled vegetables with meat, cucumbers and green salads with vegetables, except potatoes. The food can be lightly salted.

The essence of the egg-orange diet

It is said that new beginnings fail on Monday, so start on any auspicious day. The first week will not delight you with a variety of breakfasts. One of the pillars of the diet menu is a combination of eggs and citrus fruits. Simultaneous use of these products stimulates metabolic processes in the body, during which "extra" fats are burned. This is a very serious matter, so eggs and citrus fruits should be consumed mainly at the beginning of the day.

Opinions of doctors
American nutritionists have studied that eggs are the healthiest and lowest calorie way to saturate the body. This product contains almost all the necessary trace elements and vitamins, antioxidant lutein, designed for the elderly and athletes. Eating eggs prevents obesity and diabetes.
Due to the presence of healthy fats in eggs, there is a feeling of satiety and hunger.
However, this diet is not entirely suitable for people prone to allergic reactions. After all, eggs and citrus fruits are highly allergenic.
The high content of vegetables and fruits in the egg diet, for example, will not allow the body to feel the lack of vitamins and minerals, unlike the protein diet. The diet menu stimulates the production of carnitine, which helps burn calories.
It should be noted that according to the staff of the sanitary-epidemiological station, 10 out of 20, 000 eggs on sale are infected with bacteria that cause dysentery, vomiting and confusion. This is called salmonella. Located on the damaged shell. Therefore, if you still decide to follow this diet, wash the eggs thoroughly and boil them for at least 5 minutes.
Contraindications:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- severe liver and kidney disease;
- sensitivity to citrus fruits and eggs;
- high cholesterol levels;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system.
