I feel whiny and just want someone to do it with.  I keep succumbing to the skin on the chicken legs that I bake to make babyfood, and to sausage.  I'm all for meat, but eggs do me good.  Please.  Someone join me and make me feel less lonely  Help

I'm in. When do we start? Do I get to have duck fat? Yup

I have a duck that's in the fridge that I'm roasting tonight, but after it's eaten, I'm willing to egg it for as long as you want!

OK, I'll have roast duck tonight, then just have eggs and the rendered fat from the duck after that. I'm going to try to IF today, even though I failed miserably yesterday. I think I got it out of my system, tho. I had been doing great on IF for the 3 days prior.

Tell me about it. I would use that smiley constantly. Like after my roast duck tonight! And after my slow-roasted pork belly from last night! Omigod *slavering at the mouth*

OK, I need to get more excited about eggs...

Yeah, I only ever get REALLY excited about eggs when combined with something else. Meat or cheese or something.  Sad

OK, I'm still at work so there's no way I'm going to have time to roast that duck tonight. I'll have to eat the duck tomorrow, which means my egging will have to begin on Thursday. You can either start without me, or wait a day! Laugh

I just polished off 16 oz of ground beef and ~17 oz of salmon plus eggs and a little bit of chicken, so I think im definitely going to have to start tomorrow.

How many eggs do you guys eat per day? I was thinking of doing about a dozen, with just some butter to fry in and nothing else.

Wow, that is a hell of a lot of protein. Are you having enough fat with that?

Depending on how much fat I'm adding, I'll have anywhere from 6 - 9 eggs in a day when I'm just eating eggs. Sometimes more, if it's a particularly hungry day. But I don't add any seasoning, really, (just half-salt) which definitely limits the amount you can eat. It's too boring to binge on.

I'll give it a shot.  I'm down to eggs, butter, and lard in the fridge anyway.  Might as well make a go of it.

Laugh     Yup

I usually average around 10 eggs a day when I egg it, sometimes I'll do 14 and sometimes 8 depending on how much fat is eaten with them.   It's boring but I feel really really good, and happy - no foody chemicals messing with my brain, and of course the gratification of the scale going down.  

Right now I'm doing 2  2 egg coffees, one in the morning and one at noon, then eating the rest of the food in the evening.

Yeah, I wish I had some beef fat or duck fat to fry in, but I don't, so I think most of my extra fat is going to come from butter.

But right now its 10:40 AM where I'm at and I don't even have any eggs, ran out yesterday! So I won't be eating until I pick some up lol

This has absolutely nothing to do with eggs, but yeserday I had 73/27 ground beef and I fried it in a pan, and a WHOLE LOT of oil was in it when it was done, like way more than I put, so I know it came off the beef, does that mean the beef was actually lower fat than it was before I cooked it, if I didn't *drink* the oil that came off  Confused That never happened to me with pan fried steaks before...

Yes, fat renders out of ground meat much more easily than it does from a big hunk of steak. You should try to eat all those drippings. And not overcooking the meat will help from too much fat rendering out - plus the meat will stay much juicier if the fat stays in.

Is it ok to eat rare ground beef? I dont buy it anywhere special - usually walmart/publix/kroger type grocery stores.

That's all about individual comfort level. I know a lot of people on here who do. And some don't. It's up to you what you're willing to experiment with.

I see, right now im experiementing with almost raw steaks, like just cooking the outsides and the insides are still kinda raw, though it does taste weird because the inside is generally a bit cold. Wasn't that bad though.

Anyways - about the egg fast, is it better than eating exclusively meat? Besides the fact that its much cheaper.

I just feel kinda bad eating so many, 12 is only about 1100 calories with some fat added to make the ratio 70:30, and I've heard/read that its not good to eat below like 1200 or something

Watch out opticon, it all eggaganda!  Wink And Red is the Queen!

Have you all started? I can't today, but I am off to IHop for breakfast with Daddy in the morn. Maybe I can start eggs tomorrow... but it gets complicated. My Mother just moved into a home where the kitchen is like, missing. Tiny microwave, tiny fridge, tiny sink. No stove Sad What am I thinking! I eat raw eggs! Maybe I can do this! Can I nuk'em? Why would I do this? What is this for again? Hold on I'll scroll...

What about the farewell drugs?

I'm starting today! I haven't eaten yet, but I was thinking of having a couple of eggs soon, as I'm getting mighty hungry.

This is day 2 for me.  Total eggs consumed thus far:  12.  In non-serious previous attempts, I've made it for 2 or 3 days, then I miss the texture of meat too much.  I like having something to chew on.
