“Ironically, my total cholesterol level went under 200 once I started eating eggs every morning about 17 years ago.”
For convenience’s sake, my sister started eating 2-3 eggs for breakfast nearly 30 years ago. Her physician frowns upon it, but admits her blood work is excellent.
She has never gained weight and doesn’t benefit from cutting carbs. I’m more of an intermittent fasting fan than a keto person, but the two go well together. I’ve struggled with weight my entire life - was a VERY fat kid - but 9 months into a somewhat keto-ish food selection with intermittent fasting has seen my blood pressure go from 155/110 without medicine & 135/90 with medicine down to 115/75 without medicine. And the downward trend seems to be continuing.
Add in 35 lbs of weight loss and I’m happy.
155/110 to 115/75.
WHY WOULD I EVER GO BACK?
Within four minutes, the eggs are cooked and the non-stick pan is wiped clean and ready for the next morning's breakfast.
I like to point this out because often I hear from people that they "don't have time" to make breakfast in the morning and that is the excuse they give for having cold cereal (bad!) or a fast-food breakfast sandwich (even more bad!). I call BS on that. I commute to Manhattan and get up at 4:30am but I have plenty of time to make a healthy breakfast for myself at home.
