Eggs recommended for weight loss
Eating two eggs for breakfast each morning can help people lose weight, according to a study.
Research from Louisiana State University (LSU) in the US showed that eating two eggs for breakfast, as part of a reduced-calorie diet, helps overweight adults lose the pounds and feel more energetic than those who eat a bagel breakfast of equal calories.
A study, published in the International Journal of Obesity, supports previous research which showed people who ate eggs for breakfast felt more satisfied and ate fewer calories at the following meal.
Dr Nikhil Dhurandhar, from LSU’s Pennington Biomedical Research, said: "People have a hard time adhering to diets and our research shows that choosing eggs for breakfast can dramatically improve the success of a weight loss plan.
"Apparently, the increased satiety and energy due to eggs helps people better comply with a reduced-calorie diet."
The researchers also found that blood levels of HDL and LDL cholesterol, as well as triglycerides, did not vary compared with baseline cholesterol blood levels in subjects who ate either the bagel or egg breakfasts.
