Will I lose weight if I only eat eggs for 3 days?

You may lose some water weight, but you won’t lose much if any fat. As previously mentioned, 3 days is too short for any significant weight loss to occur and the diet is too low in calories and lacking in too many food groups and options to be effective as a fat-loss eating plan.

Can I eat 10 eggs a day?

There is currently no set standard or limit to how many eggs a person can eat in a day, but 10 may be a bit much. If you’re consuming eggs as a source of protein or healthy fats, many more food options can offer you this, such as nuts and seeds, fatty fish, dairy, and more. Talk to your healthcare provider to get more individualized recommendations.

Does the egg diet really work?

As evidenced above, this diet doesn’t work, especially for weight loss. If you want to lose weight, we suggest eating at a healthy calorie deficit, working out more, reducing your stress levels, and sleeping for at least 7 hours a night.

Will a 3-day diet fast put me in ketosis?

Yes, it can, but you don’t need to do this diet to get into ketosis. Research has suggested that your body may go into mild ketosis after just 12 to 14 hours of fasting ( 14 ) – something that can easily be achieved between dinner and breakfast time the next day. You can also follow a ketogenic diet that’s not quite as restrictive as the egg diet. If you want to go fully into ketosis, we suggest simply reducing your carb intake to less than 50 g a day ( 2 ). This should put your body fully into ketosis in about 2 to 4 days without needing to starve yourself.
