How many eggs daily?

Hi all,

Though my dietitian told me that I can eat 6 eggs per day, but some days back one of my relatives told me that it is dangerous to eat more than 2 eggs per, as she knows someone who used to have 6 eggs / day during his gym training and got minor heart attack after 3-4 months and doc ask him to cut down on eggs. I was eating eggs earlier , but in less quantity....I want to know from experienced people who are eating since long...how much eggs/day is safe regularly?I dont eat no-veg, so have limited source of protein apart from egg.

Thanks

Krish

Eat as many as you like. The nonsense that cholesterol will kill you is finally being laid to rest:

There is no correlation between eggs-cholesterol and heart attack.

You will discover that Cherry picking is done by everyone either in small or big scale...you are right ...high carbs and then respected doctors are there to diagnose the cause of problem...main problem is that doctors once graduated from good colleges and start getting customers dont bother to upgrade their knowledge and they somehow sustain .unlike software industry...medical industry is always profitable without much upgradation: )now we have extra responsibility to keep updated regarding health for the good of family...apart from all other duties: )

I am 76 now and consumes eggs from my younger days. For number of years I used to take a minimum of couple of half boiled eggs a day. Being insulin dependent for the last five years, I am following a strict diet pattern now-a-days and limited the egg consumption to one a day.

If my life so far is taken into consideration consumption of eggs does not have any ill effects on health. On the contrary eggs provide sufficient nutrients to the body.

Thanks for sharing your experience....You are accustomed of eating egg...so your body welcomes it even if you consume it in high quantity.I was pure vegetarian till I got diabetes...now I am forced to eat egg because of its nutritional values...people say if we suddenly give a load of anything which we did not eat since childhood...body feels a shock...so I was concerned how to incorporate good amount say 3-4 eggs in daily diet , so that body does not feel shock either for cholesterol or sodium in egg.

American will publish/prescribe which boosts their industry,after so many decades they say high cholesterol is not bad for health simply to sell theirs cholesterol lowering drugs. These studies are farce and misleading,do not depend entirely on it,as we do not follow ADA guidelines on diabetes. There should not be double stranded.

We have a single life to live and there is no reset button to redo the things:): )...so better to talk to people and learn from other's experience than first experiment and then say "I wish there should have been a reset button in life"...rather than getting lost by finding all contradictory type of research on internet...i would rather rely on people who are experienced and seen and know much more than me ...though well educated or not ...again I say all books ...science ...research papers are just result of first observation...experiment then turned to experience:) : )...so experience is best teacher

Hi,

I fully endorse your views and add that the studies /prescribes are applicable for Americans / Europeans not for Indians simply because their food habits and weather differs opposite to ours.

And then our genes are programmed according to our ancestors diet ...for example 2-3 yrs old korean kids eat banana and yogurt while standing on bus stand while it is snowing and temp less then -10 ...just dare to do the same...you will definitely get bad cold...there are 10 more things I can tell u ...which can clearly indicate that genetic and general food habits do make difference ...every body tolerance power to different things is not same

I am more experienced than you ,mind,do not fool the peoples.

In India...mostly people listen to their elders experience...like my wife's mother never allow them to eat eggs more than 2 in a day saying it creates heat in body:):) She must not be aware of ADA guidelines:):) Thats the experience people sharing with generations.... IF you see people were much healthier than today...following certain guidelines from elders in family...

My brother's wife told me that her cholesterol went high recently , when she suddenly started taking 2 eggs daily...before that none at all since childhood...she is quite calculated in eating healthy and less sugar ...so only asked me follow precautions regarding eggs

Her told me the case of her close relative getting minor heart attack after suddenly increasing egg intake...So I just went slow on egg

I have to first care about myself rather than India or USA:) :)

Even twins are not identical though they appear to be. Eggs’ response therefore differs from person to person. Why we are focusing so much on eggs only? There are Soy products, milk, curd, vegetable, and also fish, meat a full spectrum of foods high in what is available in eggs -to eat and enjoy life as an LCHF eater. Freeing our self from following the traditions is prerequisite to ‘begin our search’ for the right thing!
