I have hens and of course get about 7-10 eggs per day. I have been eating eggs for breakfast since beginning my diet with positive effect. Nice surprise to see that research back up my own experience. Thanks to my girls. Cluck!

Eat Eggs for Weight Loss
By WLR Dietitian
|
|
Going to work on a couple of eggs might be the way forward if you want
to shift those pounds. According to new research from the
Rochester Centre for Obesity in America, eating eggs for
breakfast could help to limit your calorie intake throughout the
rest of the day, by more than 400 calories. |
In the study, 30 overweight or obese women ate either an
egg-based breakfast (2 eggs) or a bagel-based breakfast, containing the
same amount of calories and almost identical levels of protein.
The researchers recorded the women’s eating habits and found
that just before lunch, the women who had eaten eggs for
breakfast felt less hungry and ate a smaller lunch as a result.
Better still, over the next 36 hours the group eating the
egg-containing breakfast consumed, on average, 417 calories less
than the bagel-eating group. |

Use the power of the Force Luke
In weight loss, success lies in harnessing enough energy to sustain the many changes that will
have to take place for me to secure a place in the slim Jim catagory of hunky old guys 2010.
I know that to succeed I will require a lot of powerful positive energy.
Sometimes we fight against ourselves
The important thing for me to remember and understand about change is that in our conscious
minds we can want change, we can want to be different; but our inner mind may be sending
out different messages. ‘I want to stay the same. I am afraid of change.’ In any power
struggle only one side can ultimately win. Because the inner mind holds deeply held beliefs
from a time when we were too young perhaps to be rational in an adult way, then those beliefs
tend to hold more power than our conscious ideas. I will have to reclaim these energies from my inner self
and put them to good use in my drive to change.
Honeymoon period
On day 3 of my weight loss programme, I am still in the honeymoon period.
The beginning has been made easy by my loud declaration that enough is enough. Today this
still carries me forward; but give it a matter of time and this resolve will weaken.
So I have to energise it by going deeper and making my loud declaration even louder if
you like.
Make it loud and clear
I think of people desire for big change like a fart in the wind – its a good idea,
even a great idea, but like a fart, lacks sustainable energy. A fart after all, no matter
how big, is not like a windmill power generator. That is precisely why we dont have fart powered power stations.
My desire for change is still not strong enough, even though I might like to delude myself that it is, soon the fart
will be blown away in the wind to quickly be repaced by my old behaviours and ideas.
I know this to be true of myself and I know it is human nature. How many of us have started
a diet or some other brilliant lifechanging programme, only to find a few days or weeks or
even months later that we are up to our old tricks and games again; you know – “Oh just one
cream bun, drink, gamble, biscuit, cigarette wont do any harm.” On the contrary my dears, the
first one does the damage, not the tenth.
So here I am, today, grateful for the realtive ease of the eating programme but aware that if I don’t do some
radical inner changes, my power will run out.
Now, inner change can be very powerfull, but I am going to need more help than that.
I will have to send out to the universe for some help too.
