MY EGG FAST MEAL PLAN:
Coming Soon!
By chance do you have a complete shopping list for your wonderful egg fast recipes? Would be a great addition to the planner. Thanks for sharing your talents and ideas! ☺
ReplyDeleteI am actually in the process of making a complete meal plan and grocery list. I hope to have it done within the next month or so. I have some new Egg Fast recipes that I am currently experimenting with, and when they are all done I will be adding the meal plan and shopping list at that time.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am 30y.o. 152cm/5ft0" and 48.5kg/107lbs. I have been hitting plateau and feel not too good lately on keto and yesterday I binge on some high carbs food (ate a total of 100gr carbs) on a party. I was looking for egg fast option, but found out that the total calories will be too much for me even if I eat the minimum amount of eggs (6 each with 1tbsp of fat and corresponding amount of cheese allowed) plus 1tbsp of MCT oil. Another thing is that I am not used to have breakfast, I usually have a small cup of espresso in the morning and that's it. Will not be eating anything until noon or after. Usually eat lunch and then smallish dinner or snack.
Can I modify the egg fast to a smaller amount of food and eat them for lunch and dinner, skipping breakfast?
I was thinking of eating a total of 4 eggs, 30gr/2tbsp of butter, 30gr/2tbsp of full fat mayonnaise, and 100gr/3.5oz of full fat cheese divided between lunch (at noon) and dinner (at around 5-6pm). Will also take 15ml/1tbsp of MCT oil at lunch. This register as 1285 total calories on my fitness pal (my BMR is around 1200).
Would you have any thought or suggestion on this? Thanks a lot!
Honestly, I wouldn't recommend an egg fast to you at all. At 5 feet tall and 107 pounds, you're already in the healthy weight range. An egg fast wouldn't be of much use to you. It's generally for people with 15+ pounds to lose who have been stalled for a long period of time. If is possible that you may have hit your "ideal" weight. If you still have a little extra "fluff" that you would like to get rid of, you should look into workouts geared toward those areas you want to lose from. At this point in your weight loss journey, exercising more will probably do you far more good than an egg fast.
Deletecan this be done, continuesly, I mean for a duration of 1 month or more? (3-5 days egg fast, then transition, 3-5 days egg fast again)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't egg fast more often than once every other month. It's not supposed to be a way to lose weight quickly (that will just get you flabby in a hurry). It's meant to be a way to break a long stall or to kickstart weight loss on a keto (or paleo) lifestyle.
DeleteHello Kathleen
ReplyDeleteI love the info. I must say though tonight I couldn't resist and ate four slices of dill pickle? ... I hope the fast still works for me .
In the grand scheme of things, four slices doesn't seem like too many. I would imagine you will be fine, really. :)
DeleteLiterally eating a package of Dilly Bites as I scroll this. I needed something and hoped the vinegar would help. 🤣😂
DeleteAre jalapeños ok to eat during ano egg fast?
ReplyDeleteSome people can stall from veggies, so you'll have to monitor yourself. I personally have no issues with around a tablespoon or so of chopped veggies (for the entire day).
DeleteWould you consider garlic Aioli to be ok in place of mayonnaise?
ReplyDeleteNo, probably not if you're going to use it for multiple meals. The point of the mayo is that it is very high fat and low carb. The garlic and lemon juice have some carbs, and they would add up over time. But if you're just using it for 1 meal, I would think it would be fine.
DeleteHi Kathleen! Just a conformation for me, but with all these fats, it's a lot of calories per day right? It'll be around 1700ish? This is at least 300 more then I normally do. Did you worry about this during the egg fast or should I just let it go? Thanks !
ReplyDeleteEven though the Egg Fast works for most people, does not mean it will work for all. Personally, I would try it out for 3 days. If you're not losing anything after the 3 days, you may just be one of the few that it doesn't work for.
DeleteAs for calories: Generally speaking, no, people do not count calories when EFing. For me (and many like me), the calories really don't seem to make any difference. This may be due to the fact that fat passes through the body faster than most foods.
DeleteEvery afternoon I have an electrolyte drink made with water, 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice, 1/2 tsp sea salt and some stevia. I drink it to ward off night leg cramps. Will this interfere with the egg fast?
ReplyDeleteThis electrolyte makes a little more than a quart and is divided up over 3 days.
ReplyDeleteQuestion for you all!!
ReplyDeleteI don't eat breakfast or lunch.. do I need to eat breakfast & lunch with the egg fast?? Its making me feel sick eating eggs like that. Also, how would I still hit 6 eggs per day with just eating dinner?
