The essence of the egg-orange diet
The cycle of the diet is divided into weeks, starting, in most cases, on Monday. We just decided to split it into seven days, without committing to the days of the week. They say that on Monday the new beginnings are unsuccessful, so start any convenient day. The first week will not please you with a variety of breakfasts. One of the pillars of the diet menu is the combination of eggs and citrus fruits. The simultaneous use of these products causes metabolic processes in the body, during which "extra" fats are burned. This is a very serious job, which is why eggs and citrus fruits should be consumed mainly at the beginning of the day.
With the help of this diet, extreme weight loss is possible. So in 5 days it is really possible to lose 5 kilos. Grapefruits can replace oranges. You should eat 6 oranges and 6 eggs a day. The duration of this extreme diet is up to 7 days.
A milder version of the egg-orange diet is also possible. The method is designed for 4 weeks. 9 eggs and 6 oranges are eaten daily for 1 week. In the second, third and fourth week, you can diversify your diet with fruits and vegetables, but only in raw form. So you can lose weight up to 10 kg per month.

The views of doctors
American nutritionists have conducted studies according to which eggs are the healthiest and low-calorie way to saturate the body. This product contains almost all the necessary trace elements and vitamins, the antioxidant lutein, which is suitable for the elderly and athletes. Eating eggs prevents obesity and diabetes.
Due to the content of eggs in healthy fats, a feeling of satiety appears and the feeling of hunger is alleviated.
However, this diet is not entirely suitable for people prone to allergic reactions. In addition, eggs and citrus fruits are highly allergenic.
The content of a large number of vegetables and fruits in the egg diet will not allow the body to feel a lack of vitamins and minerals, in contrast, for example, to a protein diet. The diet menu causes the production of carnitine, which also helps burn calories.
We must remember that according to the staff of the health and epidemiological station, 10 out of 20 thousand eggs sold are infected with a bacterium that causes dysentery, vomiting and confusion. It is called salmonella. It is located in a damaged shell. Therefore, if you decide to follow this diet, rinse the eggs well and boil them for at least 5 minutes.
Contraindications:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- severe liver and kidney disease;
- hypersensitivity to citrus fruits and eggs.
- elevated cholesterol levels;
- diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Weight loss reviews
First review: Before the diet I weighed 83 kg with a height of 173 kg. Despite the fact that I "gave up" in the third week, I managed to fit in my old jeans. He lost 10 kilos. I must add that I was actively involved in the gym. Maybe that's why this result. The hips were "reduced" by 9 cm, the waist - up to 12 cm! She was very irritable!
Second review: After the birth we managed to lose 8 kilos! In the opinion of the endocrinologist I visited, it is not just a diet, but a proper nutrition system. During the diet, an acetone taste appeared in the mouth. Having visited the endocrinologist (as there is a kidney problem, I do not want to risk it), he advised me to drink more water. As a result, I lost 8 pounds in 4 weeks!
Third tip: Only those who do not like eggs can have problems! I did not fully follow the egg diet, but the basis of the diet was eggs, fruits and vegetables. About 5 eggs were eaten every day of the month. Stable, he was taking about 200 grams every day. As a result, I dropped 5500 in one month! And this despite the fact that I practically did not diet and did not deny myself anything!
Thus, the egg diet makes it easy and enjoyable to achieve the desired weight loss. The result will be stabilized for a long time, provided that you do not immediately insist on taste hazards such as sausage and chips.
