Researchers at Louisiana State University found that overweight and obese people who ate breakfast which consisted of 2 eggs a day for 5 or more days a week for a total of 8 weeks, lost 65% more weight, had an 83% greater reduction in waist size and reported that they had more energy than the women who ate a bagel for breakfast with the same number of calories. This confirmed a study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, which found that an egg breakfast made the dieter feel satisfied and less hungry and significantly reduced snacking between meals compared to a bagel breakfast containing the exact amount of calories. So have your eggs in the morning, stay energized, stay satisfied, binge less and lose weight. You don't have to have the same scrambled eggs for breakfast every morning either. We recommend using one whole egg and 2 to 3 egg whites or all egg whites to make your breakfast lower in calories and fat while still providing the protein your body needs to keep your metabolism humming. Use a variety of fresh seasonal veggies, flavorful salsas and lean meats for a breakfast omelet that will keep you fueled, energized and satisfied well beyond your next meal.
