Description of diet
From the name it becomes clear that the basis of the egg diet is chicken eggs. Egg whites are easily absorbed by the body. Eggs are rich in vitamins and minerals. Due to the diversity of flavors and caloric content, the egg diet can be maintained for quite some time, because eggs allow you to get enough, and do not have to suffer from constant hunger.

The essence of the egg-orange diet
The diet cycle is divided into weeks, beginning, in most cases, on Monday. We decided to divide it into seven days, without being tied to a day of the week. They say that on Monday the new start is not successful, so start on any suitable day. The first week will not delight you with a variety of breakfasts. One of the mainstays of the diet menu is a combination of eggs and citrus fruits. Simultaneous use of this product provokes metabolic processes in the body, in which "extra" fat is burned. This is a very serious job, which is why eggs and citrus fruits should be eaten especially at the beginning of the day.
With the help of this diet, extreme weight loss is possible. So in 5 days it is possible to lose 5 kg. Grapefruit can be replaced with orange. A day you need to eat 6 oranges and 6 eggs. The duration of this extreme diet is up to 7 days.
A softer version of the egg-orange diet is also possible. This method is designed for 4 weeks. For 1 week, 9 eggs and 6 oranges were eaten daily. In the second, third and fourth weeks, you can diversify the diet with fruits and vegetables, but only in raw form. So you can lose weight up to 10 kg per month.
Sample menu for four weeks
So, let's get down to the egg diet menu:
- In the first week you should eat grapefruit, tomatoes, eggs, cucumbers, fish, beef, chicken, zucchini, oranges. You can also eat fruits such as kiwi, apples, pears, the main thing is that they do not have a lot of carbohydrates.
- The second and third weeks of the diet are very difficult, but you have to weigh all the pros and cons, present the end result and continue the diet. You can eat boiled meat, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggs, fish, boiled vegetables

Doctor's opinion
American nutritionists have conducted studies according to which eggs are the healthiest and lowest calorie way to satiate the body. This product contains almost all the necessary trace elements and vitamins, the antioxidant lutein, which is indicated for the elderly and athletes. Eating eggs prevents obesity and diabetes.
Due to the healthy fat content in eggs, a feeling of fullness appears and a feeling of hunger becomes dull.
However, this diet is not entirely suitable for people prone to allergic reactions. After all, eggs and citrus fruits are very allergenic.
The content of large amounts of vegetables and fruits in the egg diet will not allow the body to feel a lack of vitamins and minerals, unlike, for example, a protein diet. The diet menu raises the production of carnitine, which also helps burn calories.
It should be noted that according to employees of sanitary and epidemiological stations, 10 out of 20 thousand eggs sold are infected with bacteria that cause dysentery, vomiting and confusion. It's called salmonella. It is located on a damaged shell. Therefore, if you still decide to follow this diet, rinse the eggs thoroughly and boil for at least 5 minutes.
Contraindications:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- severe liver and kidney disease;
- hypersensitivity to citrus fruits and eggs;
- high cholesterol levels;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Reviews about weight loss
First study: Before the diet, I weighed 83 kg with a height of 173 kg. Despite the fact that I "gave up" in the third week, I managed to adjust to my old jeans. Lost 10 kg. I must add that I am actively involved in the gym. Maybe that's why this decision. The hips "drop" by 9 cm, the waist - by 12 cm! He is so angry!
Second comment: After giving birth, we managed to lose 8 kg! In the opinion of the endocrinologists I visited, this is not just a diet, but a proper nutritional system. During the diet, the taste of acetone appears in the mouth. After visiting an endocrinologist (since there were problems with the kidneys, I didn’t want to take the risk), he advised me to drink more water. As a result, I lost 8 kg in 4 weeks!
Third tip: Only those who don’t like eggs can get in trouble! I do not fully adhere to the egg diet, but the basis of the diet is eggs, fruits and vegetables. About 5 eggs are eaten daily in a month. Stable, daily take about 200 grams. As a result, I dropped 5500 in a month! This is despite the fact that I am practically not on a diet and not denying myself anything!
Therefore, the egg diet makes it easy and fun to achieve the desired weight loss. The result will improve for a long time, provided you do not immediately pounce on the dangers of delicacies such as sausages and chips.
