Eggs confusion

Yes, but it isn't true.

 

Ok...that info you have read about eggs is old information...and totally not true! Eggs are perfectly healthy food to have ANY time of the day, particularly as replacement for 'carbs' and it doesn't matter if one is diabetic or not. One time we were given scare stories about eggs having so much cholesterol that it would cause heart issues. Well, that advise was proven wrong...even government had to change their tune with egg info and admit that dietary cholesterol has very little effect to our bodies cholesterol levels. Not only that....cholesterol in our blood stream vs. heart problems in whole is something that is debated all the time....although evidence is showing that there is no actual benefit for our health to have low cholesterol number..there is much more to it.
I'll say....ENJOY your eggs....I do, I've had 4 today and 5 yesterday..eggs almost every day!

 

Hi spirit 01 - I a, extremely interested in your low carb diet details.

Do you have a link or anything you can share with timings etc?

 

I eat between three and six eggs per day - they're the perfect snack, and fill me up no problem. I'm slim and fit, avoid high carbohydrate foods and find I want an egg very much more than I ever want a croissant, cake or piece of toast.

From what I understand from many and varied (not to mention conflicting) scare stories about eggs, cholesterol and heart disease over a number of years, eggs aren't something to worry about - that's just my opinion, but I don't have any symptoms of heart disease.

 

I seem to remember the Eggs are bad for you is from a vegan site/organisation but I could be wrong.

 

I'm not a type 2 but I eat around 8 eggs a week and have really good cholesterol levels, the NHS Choices website says there's no restriction on eggs unless your Dr has told you otherwise:

I eat 10 eggs a week

 

As I keep chickens I usually eat two or three eggs or more every day.

 

I reckon that (possibly) apples and definitely high sugar bananas are worse for us on a low carb diet than any number of eggs, which probably ought to be part of them. There's nothing wrong with yoghurts either as long as they are full fat without any added sugar. So certainly make those changes!

PS I'm not over fond of eggs, but as part of my LCHF menu I probably manage the equivalent of an egg a day between baked goods and a weekly omelette.

 

I keep chickens so eats eggs!
Boil a dozen bung in fridge there for a snack anytime of day or night. Good for dipping in whatever takes your fancy or simply popping in your mouth .... yes I have a big mouth!

 

I love eggs have them every day like Finsky, if my BG readings are higher than normal I will eat eggs at next meal and I am back down in my BG readings.

 

I'm another chicken keeper...that's why the eggs are quite heavily in my diet too. Just got through 2 for my breakkie...'nom nom'...those 2 eggs and piece of cheese will keep tummy happy for some time to come! And plenty of more are ready boiled and waiting their turn to get in my tummy....'nom nom'...

 

I think I have to agree with this - my weekly omelette (with various fillings) usually gives me some of the lowest post meal levels I see.

I get my chickens from Cheshire Chickens. Usually around a fiver each and come with birth and inoculation certificates and all the gear sold there is the cheapest I can find anywhere but quality too.http://cheshirechickens.no-ip.co.uk/
