Eggs may aid weight loss
13 Aug 2008
Overweight adults may be able to improve their weight-loss results by eating eggs regularly. A scientist at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, a part of Louisiana State University in the US, says in a study group of adults aged 25 to 60 those who ate two eggs for breakfast as part of a calorie-reduced diet lost 65 per cent more weight, had a 61 per cent greater reduction in body mass index, and had higher energy levels, than those who ate bagels. Nikhil Dhurandhar believes increased satiety, and energy offered by eggs aids compliance with a reduced-calorie diet. The study, funded by the industry-affiliated Egg Nutrition Center, is published in the International Journal of Obesity.
