What is the boiled egg diet?
The boiled egg diet basically works on the principle of eating boiled eggs multiple times in a day. You need not include it in every meal you eat but eating one egg at regular intervals can not only keep your energy levels steady but will also prevent you from overeating.
The diet was first talked about in a book published by Arielle Chandler, titled ‘The Boiled Egg Diet: The Easy, Fast Way to Weight Loss!’.

How does it work?
The boiled egg diet works on two key factors- calorie restrictions and low-carbohydrate consumption. There are about 75 calories, 5 grams of fat, 6 grams of protein, and less than 1 gram of carbohydrate in a single egg. This helps in keeping you full for a long while restricting your calories in a healthy way. You must always pair boiled eggs with other healthy food options to avoid hunger pangs and give the diet a healthier twist.

How to follow it?
Include 2-3 eggs in your diet on a daily basis. You can either eat one egg per meal or divide the eggs in a balanced ratio between your breakfast, lunch or dinner. Avoid eating three eggs in one go. Along with boiled eggs you can include green leafy vegetables, seasonal fruits, fish and even pulses in your daily diet. Cut fried and sugary foods from your diet completely, otherwise the boiled egg diet will become meaningless.

Is it safe to follow the boiled egg diet?
This calorie restriction might not work for everyone as it eliminates a number of food options from your diet. It is a good option if you wish to lose weight on a short term basis but isn’t the healthiest diet option for long term, as it might create other types of nutrition deficiency in your body. The diet is safe to follow on a short term basis, as long as you don’t starve yourself and include other healthy foods in your daily diet as well.

How many eggs can you have?
Usually a daily consumption of three eggs is termed safe by professionals. However, eggs have the capacity to elevate cholesterol levels which is why you must always consult a dietician or nutritionist before switching to any kind of diet. If you already have issues like blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol it is best to seek medical guidance first before opting for the boiled egg diet.
