Egg mono diet.

The egg diet is the most successful solution for those who decide to deal with excess cholesterol in the body. Despite the fact that eggs contain cholesterol (as part of the yolk), its content in eggs allows us to classify them as dietary foods, including anti-cholesterol ones. The thing is that the cholesterol contained in the egg refers to the so-called "good cholesterol", which is simply necessary for the body for good nutrition.

Egg mono-diet allows you to keep the body from consuming excess fatty foods, harmful carbohydrates and does not create prerequisites for starvation. Even one of the largest eggs in the diet provides a nutritional calorie content of 150 calories, and 100 grams of this product contains about 10.5% protein, 11% fat and 0.5% carbohydrates. The result of the egg diet is a decrease in body weight against the background of daily consumption of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

In addition to the main "building blocks" for the body, eggs contain a rare combination of a set of vitamins and microelements that few food products can boast of: vitamin A (0.60 mg), vitamin B1 (0.14 mg), vitamin B2 (0. 69 mg), Vitamin PP (0.20 mg), Vitamin D (0.625 mcg), Selenium, Calcium, Iron. The set of vitamin and mineral elements in the composition of eggs is such that the body will not lose any useful substances during the egg mono-diet.

Almost all the substances necessary for the body are found in the yolk of the egg, which makes it possible to use eggs in dietary nutrition even for those people who are harmful to protein, including egg white. For an egg diet in case of an allergy to protein, only the yolks of hard-boiled eggs are used in cooking, from which the yolk can be extracted without protein impurities.

Eggs are rightfully considered a dietary product, and they are easy to combine with other foods that are allowed to take part in the egg diet - these are greens, boiled and raw vegetables and fruits, as well as low-fat dairy products (milk, kefir, cottage cheese).

With the help of a certain set of dishes, it is easy to form a diet for the day with the predominant participation of eggs. To comply with the egg mono-diet, boiled eggs are used as an independent dish, salads from boiled eggs with herbs, vegetables and fruits, steamed omelettes from protein-yolk mass or only from egg protein or yolk.

The rational distribution of egg dishes during the day allows you to keep an egg mono-diet for a long time - up to two months. For example, for breakfast - two or three boiled eggs without adding other foods, for lunch, egg salad or stuffed eggs with vegetables or dairy products (boiled eggs can be stuffed with boiled yolks mixed with grated boiled or fresh vegetables, as well as with cottage cheese), for dinner - boiled eggs in combination with fruits in the form of a salad.

Salads from chopped boiled eggs are prepared without vegetable oils, but it is recommended to water such salads with fresh fruit juice. Instead of seasoning for egg salads, you should use citrus fruits (zest and juice), as well as spicy-tasting greens (dill, parsley, celery, chervil, arugula, rosemary, basil) or caraway seeds.

If we are talking about omelettes, then omelets alternate daily (protein-yolk, protein and yolk). Omelettes can also be stuffed with greens and vegetables for lunch, and for dinner, prepare a dessert of chopped omelet and your favorite fruits (eggs, in their taste, are combined with absolutely any fruit).

Boiled eggs are very convenient to use for making pates. The composition of such pastes may include fresh or boiled vegetables and fruits (ground or finely chopped), as well as greens (finely chopped). Boiled eggs (or only yolks) are kneaded or ground in a blender (meat grinder) and mixed with any other ingredients, while not combining more than two other ingredients with eggs (for example, a pate of eggs and greens with cottage cheese; a pate of eggs and chopped carrots and greens , egg and pickle pate, egg and pear pate, egg and apple pate with chopped herbs, etc.). Egg pates can not be spread on bread, but eaten as an independent dish. Egg pates are very helpful in diversifying the composition of daily meals with a long egg diet.

When switching to an egg mono-diet, it is necessary to temporarily abandon the use of sugar and any sugar derivatives, and add sweetness to dishes with the help of very sweet fruits or sweet varieties of carrots and beets.

The egg diet allows you to reduce to zero the amount of "bad cholesterol" in the body (heavy fats), but at the same time not reduce the intake of healthy fats, which are needed by the body daily. By reducing the total body weight using an egg mono-diet, you can achieve the ideal result - to reduce body weight by 88 ounces per week without compromising health.
