Today we are talking about what is known as the boiled egg diet, which apparently has more and more followers every day. Is it as magical as it is believed? Can you really lose up to 11 kilos in just 14 days? Is the body prepared to eat so much egg in such a short time? Is it true that those kilos do not recover even if you no longer follow the diet? We tell you all the truths and all the lies of the boiled egg diet.
What is the boiled egg diet?
- As we have been informed, the boiled egg diet allows you to lose up to 11 kg in 2 weeks, depending on your current weight and your metabolism; The fact is that you are not going to recover those 11 kilos more or less once you have completed the two weeks of diet. How is it possible?
- The key seems to be that the egg helps to reduce fat in addition to having a satiating effect so that you are not so hungry during the day.
- We have, then, that to follow this “magical” diet blindly, you must take 2 boiled eggs and 1 citrus fruit for breakfast every morning for two weeks. Lunch and dinner vary depending on the day: fruit only, grilled fish, a simple salad…
- And as in any self-respecting diet, it is advisable to drink a lot of water, about 2 liters a day, avoid alcohol, junk food, sweets and salt. Voilà, your body is the one you want with hardly any effort, without exercising, or eating well, and in less than 15 days. Let us now see the negative effects of this diet.
Negative effects of the boiled egg diet
- One of the most negative effects of this weight loss diet is the lack of energy due to the total absence of carbohydrates. You can now forget about exercising and performing at work and in your day to day.
- The digestive system is also affected by making such a radical change in diet, so you may suffer nausea, constipation, gas and bad breath (yes, boiled eggs cause bad breath) during the two weeks that the diet lasts.
- Those who recommend this diet ensure that the lost kilos are not recovered, something that we doubt, or is it not possible to gain weight again if the usual bad diet is resumed? What’s more, the rebound effect can occur, that is, it is possible that after those two weeks, you eat due to anxiety and extra kilos.
What is advised then to lose weight? Well, what you already know, follow a healthy and balanced diet, exercise regularly and consult a specialist whenever you need it; the choice is yours, you just have to find the motivation to be consistent with your diet.
