She ate eggs every day for a month and THIS happened

how eggs affect cravings, wt loss, heart health, brain health, and… If you are having trouble viewing this email, [click here.](  Our colleague Catherine just wrote this article about eggs last week and we thought it was fantastic and wanted to share it… _________  When I was a kid, my mom would only allow us to eat eggs every other day. We had “Egg Days” and cereal days. Back then eggs were considered a heart attack risk if you ate them every day. Instead, people were filling up on bagels, oatmeal, cereal, doughnuts, pancakes, and muffins, thinking that was the healthier choice.  If you’ve learned anything from following Nutrition Watchdog over the years, you know that bagels, oatmeal and other ‘whole-grain’ breakfasts can set you up for disaster the rest of the day.  There’s a great study that was done 10 or so years ago, where they took two groups of people on similar diets eating similar calories. One group ate bagels for breakfast, and one group ate eggs for breakfast. At the end of the study, the group who had bagels for breakfast reported feeling hungrier all day and gained weight. The egg group lost weight and reported fewer cravings.  Eating Eggs = Fewer Food Cravings  So, here’s what happened to me when I ate eggs every day for a month…  First of all, I wasn’t hungry until lunch time, instead of craving something a couple hours after breakfast. Eggs are high in protein and healthy fats, so starting your day this way keeps blood sugar lower, and you feel satiated. Protein is the perfect fuel for my favorite activities like hiking, running, biking, and pickleball because protein keeps and builds lean body mass and muscle.  And what about that egg yolk? Remember the days when people would only eat egg whites because of the fat in the yolk? Yeah, that wasn’t me. The egg yolk has always been my favorite part of the egg and for good reason. The yolk is where most of the nutrients are. And the fat in the egg yolk is healthy fat…  To Yolk or Not To Yolk  Egg yolks contain vitamins B12, B2, and B9, and folate. B vitamins are essential for energy, focus, mood and aid in brain and nerve function. Egg yolks are a good source of vitamin D which is essential for whole-body health… and they’re full of minerals including phosphorus, iodine, and selenium, that benefit the thyroid gland, boost the immune system, and help build stronger bones.  Yolks contain more than 90% of the calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc along with the B vitamins. In addition, the yolks contain fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K along with the essential fatty acids (EFAs).  While the egg white is high in protein, yolks actually contain more protein than the whites. The average protein content of yolk is 16.4g per 100g, compared to 10.8g in egg white per 100g. There’s just more of the egg white…  And egg yolks contain a very important nutrient–choline. Choline supports lipid metabolism and essential for liver health (helps to prevent fatty liver disease). Choline also is essential for brain and nervous system function, and cell membranes.  To top off the list of egg yolk benefits, they have polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, along with omega 3 fatty acids. These fats help skin, hair and nails grow faster and stronger and look smooth and healthy.  Eggs for Health or Eggs for Heart Problems?  But what about the dreaded cholesterol that the yolk contains? Won’t that cause heart problems? Well, not only did I not have a heart attack from eating eggs… after a month eating them every single day (while following my typical Paleo style diet) my HDL (the good stuff) went up by 20% and my LDL and total cholesterol stayed in the same healthy range they always were.  So, what happens if you eat eggs every day for a month? Well, for starters you may lose weight since you are eating a healthy source of protein and fats, have fewer cravings throughout the day, keep your blood sugar low, and improve your metabolic health.  In addition, that healthy protein, essential fats, and oodles of vitamins, minerals and nutrients leave you with smooth, shiny hair, glowing skin, a strong lean body, clear focused mind, and tons of energy. And healthy cholesterol levels!  And since we’re on the topic of eggs, you’ve got to see this… What eggs do to senior brains  How often do you eat eggs?  Did you know [it does THIS]( to senior brains?  P.S.
