The egg-diet meal plan

There are multiple versions of the egg diet, though they are essentially the same. The day starts with eggs and the person continues to take small portions of lean protein through the rest of the day.

Lean protein includes:

Eggs

Chicken

Turkey

Fish

Fruits and vegetable too are important and are included in the meal:

Grapefruit

Broccoli

Asparagus

Zucchini

Mushrooms

Spinach

A sample meal plan would look something like this:

Breakfast – Two boiled eggs and one grapefruit, or a two-egg omelet with spinach and mushrooms

Lunch – ½ roast chicken breast and broccoli

Dinner – One serving of fish and green salad

The above-mentioned diet is the traditional version which will include low-carb vegetables or grapefruit in the breakfast and dinner.

Another version is the egg and grapefruit diet, which includes one-half of a grapefruit with each meal.

There is also a less common, ‘extreme’ egg diet. In this, one only eats hard-boiled eggs and consumes water for 14 days. However, this diet is not recommended as it is imbalanced and can cause malnourishment.

Although the diet plan is quite effective in reducing some weight, it is quite difficult. It is recommended to consult with a doctor before one drastically changes the diet.
