Just been looking around the site and came across this. Was just getting used to not having to restrict my egg intake after the latest news that they are ok. http://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2008/Nov ... arned.html

Hi Broads,
It might be worthwhile having a look at David Mendosa's views before you give up the eggs, I have no intention of reducing my consumption of them.

Hi Graham, must admit I have no intention of reducing consumption either unless i hear any strong evidence against eggs. Just as a matter of interest roughly how many do you eat in a week?

Hi again,
I get through a minimum 12 eggs a week, boiled, fried, scrambled and love omelettes. All blood tests came back ok, my cholesterol was fine.
Cheers Graham

Well since drastically reducing my carbs eggs have become a huge staple for me, especially at breakfast time. If I were to stop eating them what the hell would I eat? I have no time to make a full brekky, whereas eggs + microwave + 2 mins = lovely scrambled eggs!
Viv for a change you could get a really good cheddar, crumble it and add to the scramble eggs right at the end so it melts and is really yummy. The other one is add some cripy fried bacon ......... but of course dont wait for the bacon to melt .....you will be late for work and pretty much everything else

For the past 10 months, since being diagnosed, on the advice of my doctor I have had very few eggs in my diet (1 a week at most) Having read this, they are back on the menu! I love the things. And it means less of the boring cereals which the same doc said were OK :shock:

Eggs are much better for you tha cereals
I am finding that out - and am grateful for it
I always remember my nan telling me that eggs 'bind you up'.
Never really been able to eat more than a couple a week as a result. Had no clue what it meant as a kid, just had images of being wrapped around with rope. I know what she meant, now, but I still don't fancy being tied up with rope :lol:

Yep, you had to pull the yolk out to start them, then they were all white
(the old ones are the best)
Just had my second egg of the week for lunch - it won't be the last
Nope, rarely have eggs - maybe 2 a month although I do sometimes hallucinate about things they are used in like cakes, sticky toffee puds, apple pies and custard.... :lol: :lol:
I remember the adds. What is really scary is that it doesn't seem all that long ago.
Just put a message on food forum re Spanish omelette.

I remember the adds too. Trouble is as a kid I couldn't stand any sort of egg ??
Now I love 'em. Problem is I am not only a Diabetic, I have cholesterol problems too !
Every few monthsd some 'expert' tells me that they are good for you, then another says they are bad for you ? My head is spinning - so I just do what I think is right and have one a week - delicious.
