What would you say if there was a way to gain noticeable amounts of muscle in just two weeks, and all it took was something you keep in your fridge? Athletes and bodybuilders are big fans of the egg diet, and you can reap the benefits in muscle growth and weight gain today! Today, we’ll look at the secrets behind the egg diet, and the amazing effects it will have on your body within just 2 weeks. Read until the end, and we’ll share the most powerful adjustment for even more muscle gains!

The egg diet began with a simple study, scientists working for the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (put the logo) wanted to find out if eating whole eggs could have a significant impact on muscle growth. The study tested ten young men who regularly worked out, and the outcome was quite shocking. 

For the men who ate just three whole eggs a day, they experienced greater muscle gains within only 2 weeks. This was because those three little eggs had a whopping 18 grams of protein and 17 grams of fat, and all of that helped rebuild damaged muscles much faster and stronger. The scientists also noticed that myofibrillar protein synthesis was much higher in the group that ate whole eggs every day. This meant that eating eggs every day helped the body repair muscle tissue much faster than usual.

This study is just one piece of evidence that the egg diet can change your muscles, your body, and even your life. Eggs contain vital nutrients and vitamins that help your body synthesize protein, on top of being a great source of protein themselves. This means an egg diet will have better muscle fiber recovery and repair, and not just bigger muscles. 

Even better, eggs offer many amino acids that the body needs to build muscles post-workout, and this will ensure you grow much stronger after each trip to the gym than before. The egg diet has a large number of health benefits, but what’s the best type of egg diet to follow?

Traditional Egg Diet

The standard egg diet involves eating 4 eggs every day. You start the morning with 2 eggs and low carb vegetables for breakfast and then finish the day with a dinner of 2 more eggs with some lean protein and more vegetables. This version of the egg diet is designed to provide lots of protein for your body, without filling up on too many carbs. You can mix eggs with chicken, beef, or other lean meats to add protein, as well as include low-carb vegetables like broccoli, kale, or spinach!

Here’s what an egg diet would look like for the entire day. For breakfast, have two fried eggs with some kale or spinach. Next, have some fish or chicken with salad, or another 2 eggs. Finally, finish the day with 2 more eggs, and some fish or chicken again. You can also feel free to throw in salads as a snack, but keep fruits to a minimum!

Make sure not to add any bread-based foods like pasta, as those will give you way too many carbs!

Grapefruit Egg Diet

If you want to mix it up, you can also include half a grapefruit for even more health benefits! Here’s how the grapefruit diet goes:

For breakfast, you eat 2 boiled eggs and half of a grapefruit. Then, have some green salad and roast chicken for lunch. Make sure the chicken is without the skin as well. Finally, finish the day with a 2-egg omelet with spinach and tomato.

Make sure to buy high quality free-range eggs for this diet, because they have even more great vitamins for your body!

Health Risks

Eggs are a common allergen, and you should absolutely stay clear of the egg diet if you experience any bad reactions to eating eggs. There are also some risks associated with eggs that you should be aware of.

The egg diet can lead to calcium deficiency, and this has some negative health effects like low fiber and reduced bone density. A great way to counteract this is by consuming calcium-rich foods like beans, nuts, leafy vegetables, and dairy products alongside the egg diet meals, and this way you’ll be able to stay at high calcium levels. Following an egg diet can also lead to feelings of low energy, and if you feel this way it’s a good idea to include some foods with complex carbs to give you more energy. If you feel lower energy levels consider stopping the egg diet, and consult your doctor about any medical conditions you may have before making any drastic dietary changes.
