There are quite a few research reports related to eggs around the world. Adam Bernstein, the editor-in-chief of the Livestrong website, who has a background as a university researcher and is also a professional journalist on fitness and nutrition, conducted a personal experiment on the egg diet. What will be the consequences of eating three "whole eggs" a day for two consecutive months?
During the experiment, three whole eggs were eaten a day, and the calories, nutrients and training methods were the same. According to the results of the experiment, the body feels in good condition and does not feel tired. The changes in weight, total cholesterol, good cholesterol, bad cholesterol, triglycerides and body fat are as follows:
Weight: unchanged, the same 175 pounds
Total cholesterol: increased, from 132 → 133
Good cholesterol: increased, from 56 → 59
Bad cholesterol: decreased, from 66 → 64
Triglycerides: unchanged, the same 30
Body fat: decreased slightly, from 13% → 12%
The biggest disturbing factor affecting this experiment is that Adam Bernstein started the experiment in a healthy state. Undoubtedly, physical health will affect the results of the experiment. From the results of the experiment, good cholesterol increased, while bad cholesterol decreased, weight remained unchanged, and body fat also decreased.
But some people will say that "total cholesterol" has increased. Total cholesterol below 200 ml/dL is considered very healthy, so total cholesterolAlcohol at 133 will not cause any problems. In this short two-month experiment, eggs were beneficial to the changes in the human body. There were more good substances and less bad substances. Adam Bernstein believes eggs are one of the healthiest foods in the world.
In Adam Bernstein's experiment, it may not be suitable for everyone. After all, as the book "The Complete Book of Metabolic Diets" says, people are divided into three different metabolic types [protein type, carbohydrate type and Mixed type], the same dietary pattern will have different results in different metabolic patterns.
Or take the book "The Willful Health Method: Eat What Your Body Wants to Be Healthiest" published by a Japanese expert. Some things are considered healthy by everyone, but they may not be suitable for different physiques; or you may only eat certain things. Food may seem unhealthy to people, but it is actually because their bodies are deficient, so they continue to eat when it tastes delicious.
