Eggs, your new friend, again

Don't buy into the hype about eggs being totally bad for you and your cholesterol. I just heard of a Danish study conducted last year in which people ate three eggs a day for five weeks. At the end of the study, true their levels of total cholesterol were higher. The significance was the increase in LDL or bad cholesterol hadn't underwent a significant change in levels. And for variety, you shouldn't be eating three eggs a day anyway. The scientists there and a growing number over here are concluding that routine consumption of eggs does not adversely affect your cholesterol unless you already have a cholesterol problem. And if you do, egg substitute offer the same protein benefits of eggs without adding any cholesterol.

I love eggs for several reasons. First off, they're cheap. You have roughly six meals in a carton that costs on the average a dollar. Second, they're are super versatile. Eggs are just for breakfast anymore. Looking to make a personal pizza without bread and its added calories? Egg. Boil them, fry them, scramble them, stuff them in a pocket and on an english muffin. Third, eggs provide healthy protein essentially in staving off hungry and rebuilding muscle fiber worn down from exercise. For all these reasons, eggs are a major component in my weight loss strategy.
