Do calories matter when doing the egg fast? I know a bunch of people here can eat lot on ZC and not GAIN, but what about losing...

Don't overthink it, opticon. Do it, eat to appetite and see what happens. Laugh

Ok, so far I had 10 eggs today, and a ton of butter. Feeling pretty full right now

just checking in... I'm doing really well, but am still trying to fully shake the effects of a glutening last Monday Embarassed

so no dancing in glee because I've made some great weight breakthroughs or anything.

I keep getting tripped up by social events! I've been OK diet wise, but I haven't been egging it, as promised. Grr!

Can I admit I cheated with a single slice of pork belly? I feel bad for cheating on the egg challenge, but not about eating the piece of belly. It was such a perfect slice, teasing me from the fridge saying "Come on, look how good I am. You're going to cook me up for your son and he's going to throw it all on the floor...and ask for mashed potatoes"

I'm surprised I'm not tired of them yet. I'm still feeling pretty good with just eggs and butter. I haven't even resorted to seasonings.

Of course, now that you've mentioned steak... Upset

OK, guys, I'm finally done with all my social things that I had booked for this week. Today is day 1! Laugh

For real this time, though. I shouldn't have started before today, really - I knew I had all these dinner commitments. Roll Eyes

Meg, have you been having any sweeteners or flavourings or anything in your egg drinks? Or are you pure eggs?

Can I jump in this week?

ReddyMcMeaty · The Boss Joined: 20 May 2006 Posts: 5776

normally coffee powder and a couple drops of sweetner. I don't drink it after 12 or 1pm though, in the evening I'll put fried leek in there

yesterday went well. I ate lots of fat and eggs. Lost about 2.5 lbs of water weight.

ReddyMcMeaty · The Boss Joined: 20 May 2006 Posts: 5776

it's a german thing! Oniony flavours in one's coffee!!

I'll clarify Laugh

I drink two egg coffees per day which include coffee powder, a couple drops of sweetner, 2 eggs, and hot water.

I don't drink coffee after 12 or 1pm, so later in the day I'll make creamy egg soup using eggs and fried leek. It's great with chicken added too. Or diced fried pork belly Yup

Yum. I love the leek soup idea. Unfortunately raw eggs just don't fill me up the same way as cooked do, so I tend to mainly eat cooked eggs and use the egg drinks as a sort of after dinner thingy.

delicious cement.

So I did good again yesterday. Lost another 1.5lbs

You're on fire, Tina!! Eggs really are a fat-repellant. I don't know what it is, but they are magical.

I've lost 2 lbs in the last two days, HOWEVER, I was accidentally glutened on the weekend at a restaurant (I should have known better) and my weight shot up 4 lbs overnight, so I'm only halfway back to where I started. Roll Eyes

At least my tummy doesn't hurt quite as bad anymore.

So Tina, are you still gorging on fat and calories, or are you just eating eggs until you're full? How many eggs and how much fat are you eating?

I was just about to go make some eggs when I realized... I made it a week. That means meat's on the menu today. It wasn't as rough as I'd expected. I guess it helps when others are doing it with you. I lost a few pounds of bloat and a few pounds of fat, too, I think. I'll have to try this again. Grin
