Egg Breakfast Increases Weight Loss

Eggs

If you are trying to lose weight, eating eggs for breakfast, instead of bagels, will improve your results.  Overall egg eaters experienced a 61% greater reduction in BMI, 65% greater weight loss, 34% greater reduction in waist circumference and 16% greater reduction in percent body fat over bagel eaters.

No difference was found between the groups with regard to cholesterol and other lipids.  This was not a surprise, as multiple studies have vindicated eggs over the past decade.

    This is a good study. It’d be interesting to see if they kept calories constant between the eggs vs. bagels breakfast.

    Definitely more protein would help boost the metabolism though.

    I love eggs, they are great I like to halve the number of yolks when I make an omelet.

    When you look a bagel though is it not obvious.
