Eggs have been getting a bum rap regaurding cholesterol Reviewer: unknown       07-23-2004 Eggs do not bother my cholesterol at all. In fact, the latest thinking based on new research is that eggs have gotten a total bum rap in those regards.

My Egg Diet Reviewer: Jerry       07-12-2004 I've always eaten eggs at will. But even when I weighed 400 pounds, my cholesterol was only 205. About 3 years ago, I went on Atkins for 9 months, following it very strictly. I was advised to do so by my doctor, because my bg was out of control and I had high blood pressure and anxiety. After only a month of eating mostly eggs, cheese, and meat, my blood pressure was normal, my bg was normal, and my panic attacks had gone away. After 3 months, my HgA1c was under 6 and I was feeling great. My doctor said it was almost like I didn't have diabetes at all. All my blood tests were normal. After 7 months, my weight was down to 315. (I had lost several pounds just as a side-effect of the diabetes before I started the diet). Then I got complacent. I ate a dessert now and then and noticed that it did not adversely affect my bg levels. I stopped testing. I started eating more desserts and starches, which of course, kicked in my carb cravings again. Now, I've gained back half the weight I had lost, which was 75 pounds, and my bg levels average around 180 postprandial, sometimes over 200. So that's why I decided on the egg diet. I love eggs, and I know they do not hurt my cholesterol levels.

Eggs are good, but not too much. Reviewer: Ronnie       07-11-2004 eating eggs is not at issue for me but 6 to 8 eggs per day with bacon has a whole lot of "saturated fat" which has been shown to contribute to many cancers and CHD. Moderation is key as always. 8 eggs a day x 7 is 56 eggs per week.

I decided to try an egg diet Reviewer: Andrea       06-27-2004 Trying it for a week might be fine. I know that I'd get plenty sick of eggs if I did that. I get tired of them if I have them for breakfast three days in a row.
