Eggfast

Eggfast is a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that primarily consists of eggs and butter. It is sometimes referred to as a ketogenic diet, as it aims to induce ketosis, a metabolic state where the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. Participants typically consume only eggs cooked in butter for all meals, often for a limited period ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks. Water, black coffee, and plain tea are usually permitted beverages. The rationale behind eggfast is to quickly deplete glycogen stores and promote fat burning. Some proponents suggest it can be used as a kickstart to a ketogenic diet or for individuals experiencing weight loss plateaus. However, it is a restrictive diet and is not intended for long-term use. Due to its extreme nature and lack of essential nutrients from other food groups, it is generally not recommended by mainstream health professionals. Individuals considering eggfast should consult with a healthcare provider before undertaking such a restrictive dietary regimen. Potential side effects may include fatigue, headaches, and nutrient deficiencies if not carefully managed.
