The goal of any weight loss diet is to get rid of the hateful pounds.
Today there are a large number of different diets that include different restrictions. Many products are very weak in composition, so diets can often create certain health problems. But this does not apply to eggs!
Each organism has its own characteristics. Everyone has their own taste preferences, based on them it is worth choosing a diet. For those who like to eat chicken eggs, an egg diet is appropriate.
Then the egg diet for 4 weeks, detailed menu, reviews and results will be considered!
Description of the diet
From the name it is clear that the basis of the egg diet are chicken eggs. Egg white is easily absorbed by the body. Eggs are rich in vitamins and minerals. Thanks to the variety of tastes and calorie content, the egg diet can be maintained for quite a long time, as the eggs allow you to get enough and you do not need to experience a constant feeling of hunger.
With an egg diet, you can achieve excellent results if you follow a few simple rules:
- Meals should be three times a day, without snacks and the addition of additional products;
- You can eat vegetables and fruits without salt and oil. Prohibited vegetables include potatoes, forbidden fruits - grapes, figs, bananas, dates and mangoes;
- You can eat low-fat dairy products;
- It is necessary to drink plenty of fluids, at least two liters a day, to give preference to mineral water without gas and green tea without sugar.
As other foods can be added to the egg diet, it can be used for up to four weeks. But at the same time you should carefully monitor your condition, even if the body usually took the eggs, then their daily use as a main product may cause allergic reactions, nausea, dizziness. If these signs are present, the diet should be stopped immediately.
Different options
Not all people lose weight at the same rate. It depends on age, overweight and the speed of metabolic processes in the body. When starting any diet, you need to understand that the main goal is not only to get rid of extra pounds, but also to improve the general condition of the body.
The egg diet includes three meals a day. The last meal should be made no later than six o'clock in the evening. If you love fried eggs all the time on the diet, you will have to forget about them. Eggs are cooked only soft-boiled, it is absolutely impossible to salt them.
There are several versions of the egg diet: one week, two weeks, three weeks and four weeks. Depending on the duration of the diet, the permissible range of products also changes. The longer the diet, the more varied the food.
If you have decided to go on an egg diet for the first time, it is best to start with a seven-day diet. This diet is often called the egg-citrus diet. During the day you can eat only eggs and grapefruit or orange. For breakfast we eat one egg, an hour later grapefruit and so alternate throughout the day. With this diet you can easily lose up to 10 extra pounds.
For a longer egg diet from the second week, meat, low-fat yogurt and cottage cheese are added to the diet. You can use parsley, lettuce. Not all products are salted.
If you decide to go on a diet for three to four weeks, the egg diet can be even more varied. Eggs and citrus fruits are eaten twice a day. For the third meal you can use meat with vegetables, low-fat soups with cucumbers and lettuce, cooked vegetables, except potatoes. Food can be slightly salted.

When choosing from a variety of diets, you may want to choose one that does not limit food intake too much, but at the same time brings visible and lasting results that will not go away for several days after the end of the diet.
Such diets exist. One of them is Maggie's egg diet. The name of this miraculous diet may be misleading, but we can assure you that it has nothing to do with the frankly "chemical" product in the form of bouillon cubes. Maggie's diet is based on healthy food and those foods that bring exceptional benefits to the body. Following the rules of this diet, you can lose 10-15 kg.

The essence of the egg-orange diet
The diet cycle is divided into weeks, in most cases starting on Monday. We decided to just split it into seven days, without committing to the days of the week. They say new ventures fail on Monday, so get started on any convenient day. The first week will not delight you with a variety of snacks. One of the pillars of the diet menu is the combination of eggs and citrus fruits. Concomitant use of these products provokes metabolic processes in the body, during which "extra" fat is burned. This is a very serious job, so eggs and citrus fruits should be consumed mainly at the beginning of the day.
With the help of this diet, extreme weight loss is possible. So in 5 days it is really possible to lose 5 kg. Grapefruits can be replaced with oranges. You should eat 6 oranges and 6 eggs a day. The duration of this extreme diet is up to 7 days.
A more gentle version of the egg-orange diet is also possible. The method is designed for 4 weeks. For 1 week, eat 9 eggs and 6 oranges every day. In the second, third and fourth week you can diversify the diet with fruits and vegetables, but only raw. So you can lose up to 10 kg per month.
Sample menu for four weeks
So, let's move on to the egg diet menu:
- In the first week you should eat grapefruits, tomatoes, eggs, cucumbers, fish, beef, chicken, zucchini, oranges. You can also eat fruits such as kiwis, apples, pears, the main thing is that they do not have many carbohydrates.
- The second and third weeks of the diet are very difficult, but you need to weigh all the pros and cons, present the end result and continue the diet. You can eat boiled meat, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggs, fish, cooked vegetables
- On the first day of the third week, eat vegetables, on the second - fruits, on the third - fish, on the fourth - meat and so on, that is, in one day eat only one product.

Opinions of doctors
American nutritionists have conducted studies according to which eggs are the healthiest and lowest calorie way to saturate the body. This product contains almost all the necessary trace elements and vitamins, the antioxidant lutein, shown for the elderly and athletes. Eating eggs prevents obesity and diabetes.
Due to the content of healthy fats in the eggs, a feeling of satiety appears and the feeling of hunger is blunted.
However, this diet is not entirely suitable for people prone to allergic reactions. After all, eggs and citrus fruits are highly allergic.
The content of a large number of vegetables and fruits in the diet with eggs will not allow the body to feel a lack of vitamins and minerals, unlike, for example, the protein diet. The diet menu provokes the production of carnitine, which also helps burn calories.
It should be remembered that according to the employees of the sanitary-epidemiological station, 10 out of 20 thousand eggs sold are infected with bacteria that cause dysentery, vomiting and confusion. It's called salmonella. It is located on a damaged shell. Therefore, if you still decide to follow this diet, rinse the eggs thoroughly and boil them for at least 5 minutes.
Contraindications:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- severe liver and kidney disease;
- hypersensitivity to citrus fruits and eggs;
- elevated cholesterol levels;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system.
What do we get as a result?
Complete the whole course, you will be happy, because the results of the diet are simply stunning! But the most important thing that distinguishes this diet from others is that after the end you will not gain a single kilogram. It's really worth the effort for a month. Of course, this diet, whose pros and cons differ for everyone who has tried it, deserves you, in search of tools to achieve a perfect figure, pay attention to it.
Weight loss examinations
First examination: Before the diet I weighed 83 kg with a height of 173 kg. Despite the fact that I "gave up" in the third week, I managed to fit into my old jeans. I lost 10 kg. I must add that I was active in the gym. Maybe that's the reason for this result. The thighs "decreased"with 9 cm, the waist - with 12 cm! She was very irritable!
Second review: After the birth we managed to lose 8 kg! According to the endocrinologist I visited, this is not just a diet, but a proper nutrition system. The taste of acetone in the mouth appeared during the diet. After visiting the endocrinologist (since he has a kidney problem, I don't want to take any chances), he advised me to drink more water. As a result, I lost 8 kg in 4 weeks!
Third tip: Problems can only have those who do not like eggs! I didn't stick to the egg diet, but the basis of the diet was eggs, fruits and vegetables. About 5 eggs were eaten every day of the month. Stable, weighed about 200 grams every day. As a result, I dropped 5500 in a month! This is despite the fact that I practically did not go on a diet and did not give up anything!
Thus, the egg diet makes it easy and pleasant to achieve the desired weight loss. The result will be fixed for a long time, provided that you do not immediately rush to delicious dangers such as sausage and chips.
