Jump-Start Weight Loss – Keto Diet Egg Fast

What is the Egg Fast Diet? You guessed it! In a nutshell (and no, you can’t eat nuts on this one, sorry) Eggs!  You spend anywhere from 3 to 5 days consuming meals and snacks of only eggs and bulletproof coffee! You may also add cheese to the list!

The Egg Fast Diet is perfect for jump-starting your weight loss or breaking through that stubborn plateau! The diet is deficient in carbs, high in fat, and moderate protein.  The Egg Fast puts your body into active ketosis, causing rapid fat burning! The secret to long term success with the Egg Fast is to continue to cycle through and periodically do the egg fast in-between your regular diet. Most diet goers of the Egg Fast follow a low carb, Keto, or Adkins diet, but that’s not to say that the Egg Fast can’t help any diet goer who is trying to push past that plateau and lose their last few pounds!

How Does Ketosis Work

When you eliminate your intake of carbohydrates and put your body into ketosis, you are decreasing your insulin production (which is the culprit of fat-storing) therefore causing your body to release the already stored fat into energy. Being in ketosis stabilizes your blood sugar levels and maintains your muscle mass while burning fat, unlike low-calorie diets that also cause you to lose muscle. Another perk of the Egg Fast Diet is that it targets stubborn belly fat!

My Experience

The very first time I tried the Egg Fast Diet, I noticed that my chronic bloating was drastically reduced. My face and neck looked and felt thinner. By day 2, I was already shedding pounds, and after five days, I had lost 11 lbs! I have since continued to cycle through the Egg Fast Diet periodically to keep my weight loss in check. I lost 70 pounds in a matter of 6 months following the Keto Diet and using the Egg Fast about every other month. Keep in mind that not every diet works the same for everybody. Some people cycle through the Egg Fast every 3 to 4 Weeks.

The only drawback that I experienced in this diet is that it can get boring fast, and you have to keep your egg recipes creative.
