Getting out of the diet
The correct way out of the diet will not only ensure the consolidation of the achieved result but also allow you to lose weight for some time until the optimal weight for your body. The main principle of getting out of any, and especially from a strict egg diet – consistency. The bottom line is that for some time yet, you must consume those foods that were included in the diet. This will save the body from stress and allow it to switch smoothly to proper nutrition, without causing harm to health (a sharp load on the liver, pancreas, kidneys).
- In the first week after the course of the egg diet, eat 2 eggs and 1 orange daily.
- Try to eat at the same time.
- Food should be baked, steamed, or cooked. Fried food is allowed very rarely, and not earlier than three weeks after the end of the course.
- Your diet should include lean meat, poultry, sea and river fish, and dairy products.
- Getting out of the egg diet for weight loss involves switching to a fractional diet: 4-6 meals a day. At the same time, you should eat no more than 300 g of food at one time.
- Replace high-calorie confectionery products with marshmallows (without chocolate glaze), marmalade, pastila, jelly. It is allowed to consume dark chocolate – but no more than 70 g per day.
- Foods containing fast-digesting carbohydrates are allowed to eat until 14: 00.
- It is recommended to refuse from the flour. Consumption of bran and rye bread is allowed, but no more than 70 g per day.
- Refrain from drinking alcohol. Firstly, alcohol is high in calories, and secondly, it can provoke overeating. Sometimes you can afford a glass of dry wine.
- Fill salads with sour cream (10-15% fat content), olive oil or lemon juice.
- Drink 2 liters of clean water without gas per day.
- It is necessary to minimize the consumption of sugar and not to abuse salt. Condiments that contain flavor enhancers (monosodium glutamate) should be excluded.
- Every day, your diet should include fresh vegetables and fruits – according to the season.
- Eat slowly, carefully chewing each piece – so the food is better absorbed. Don’t be distracted by reading the news feed and watching TV, otherwise, you risk eating too much. Eating is a process that requires absolute concentration and does not tolerate haste.
- Exercise, walk more and avoid using the Elevator. Do wraps (no more than twice a week) and massage with anti-cellulite cream-this will improve the condition of your skin.
Only changing your eating habits and exercising will allow you to always be slim.
Contraindications
Before the egg diet, regardless of the duration of the chosen course, be sure to consult with a specialist. This will help identify and prevent potential complications.
- Allergic to eggs and citrus fruits.
- Chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, liver, and cardiovascular system.
- It is contraindicated in case of increased stomach acidity.
If during the diet you feel discomfort, nausea, dizziness – immediately stop the course and switch to a sparing diet.

I experienced a two-week egg diet and am very happy with the result! Maybe because of the fact that my initial weight was quite large, I lost 11 kg in such a short period of time. I hardly felt any discomfort. Except that sometimes I wanted to eat in the evening (a bad habit made itself felt). But instead, I drank green tea with lemon. Now I maintain weight, do not eat flour, sweet, no fast food and fried food. I try to drink a lot of water and move around a lot. After a while, I intend to repeat the two-week course of the egg diet, the feedback is positive.
