Eggs for breakfast

Just a quickie this afternoon. As most of you who have purchased my meal plans know, I am a huge fan of eggs for breakfast. Check out this latest research.

Eggs for brekkie helps weight
loss
Recent research from the US has indicated
that eating eggs may assist weight loss
and increase energy levels in overweight
individuals.
A two-month study of overweight and
obese adults, led by Nikhil Dhurandhar
an associate professor in the laboratory
of infection and obesity at Pennington
Biomedical Research Centre, Louisiana State
University, discovered a positive association
between egg consumption and weight loss.
Study participants who ate two eggs in the
morning, as part of a calorie-reduced diet,
lost 65 per cent more weight than their study
counterparts who ate bagels for breakfast,
and also displayed a 61 per cent greater
reduction in body mass index and increased
energy levels.
‘People have a hard time adhering to
diets, and our research shows that choosing
eggs for breakfast can dramatically improve
the success of a weight loss plan. Apparently,
the increased satiety and energy due to eggs
helps people better comply with a reducedcalorie
diet’ said Dhurandhar. The study was
funded by the Egg Nutrition Centre.
