Adults who eat eggs for breakfast lose 65 percent more weight
New research confirms that eating eggs boosts a healthy weight loss
plan

Park Ridge, Ill. (August 5, 2008) – A study published online today in
the International Journal of Obesity shows that eating two eggs for
breakfast, as part of a reduced-calorie diet, helps overweight adults
lose more weight and feel more energetic than those who eat a bagel
breakfast of equal calories. [1] This study supports previous
research, published in the Journal of the American College of
Nutrition, which showed that people who ate eggs for breakfast felt
more satisfied and ate fewer calories at the following meal. [2]

"People have a hard time adhering to diets and our research shows that
choosing eggs for breakfast can dramatically improve the success of a
weight loss plan," said Nikhil V. Dhurandhar, Ph.D., lead researcher
and associate professor in the laboratory of infection and obesity at
Pennington Biomedical Research Center, a campus of the Louisiana State
University system. "Apparently, the increased satiety and energy due
to eggs helps people better comply with a reduced-calorie diet."

Significant Weight Loss Related to Egg Breakfast

Compared to the subjects who ate a bagel breakfast, men and women who
consumed two eggs for breakfast as part of a reduced-calorie diet:
lost 65 percent more weight
exhibited a 61 percent greater reduction in BMI
reported higher energy levels than their dieting counterparts who
consumed a bagel breakfast [1]

The egg and bagel breakfasts provided the same number of calories and
had identical weights (energy density), which is an important control
factor in satiety and weight loss studies.

The researchers also found that blood lipids were not impacted during
the two month study. They found that blood levels of HDL and LDL
cholesterol, as well as triglycerides, did not vary compared to
baseline cholesterol blood levels in subjects who ate either the bagel
or egg breakfasts. These findings add to more than 30 years of
research that conclude that healthy adults can enjoy eggs without
significantly impacting their risk of heart disease.

New Emphasis on the Importance of High-Quality Protein

This study adds to the growing body of research which supports the
importance of high-quality protein in the diet. The American Journal
of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN) published a special issue in May 2008,
which contains nine articles that focus on the value of high-quality
protein in the American diet. A major finding was that not getting
enough high-quality protein may contribute to obesity, muscle wasting
(loss) and increased risk of chronic disease. [3,4]

Jump Start the Morning with Eggs

Jackie Newgent, registered dietitian and chef, stresses the importance
of obtaining adequate high-quality protein when advising consumers
about weight loss. "Eggs are a good source of all-natural, high-
quality protein, so they can help keep you satisfied longer, making it
easier to resist tempting snacks," said Newgent. "Nearly half of an
egg's protein, and many of the other nutrients, are found in the yolk,
so make sure to eat the whole egg for maximum benefits."

Newgent suggests these nutrition tips for a successful weight loss
plan:
Manic Monday: Make a batch of hard-cooked eggs on Sunday, so you'll
have all-natural, high-quality protein meals for your on-the-go
schedule during the week. Plus, eggs are incredibly affordable. At an
average of $1.93 per dozen (or $0.16 per egg), [5] eggs are one of the
most affordable high-quality protein foods in the marketplace.
In-a-Minute Morning Meal: In less than 60 seconds, you can prepare an
egg breakfast to help jump start your day. Simply beat one whole egg
in a microwave-safe mug then cook in the microwave oven on high for 60
seconds. Slide the egg onto a whole grain English muffin. Add flavor
with a sprinkling of fresh herbs, salsa, or cheese. Serve fresh
seasonal fruit slices, like peaches in the summer, on the side for a
balanced meal.

While I agree that eggs have nutritional merits they are also
a food that is high in arachidonic acid so if one is prone
to some form inflammation i.e. osteoarthritis, eggs may not a
good food choice. Though I suppose one can load up on
Omega-3 fish oil supplements in an effort to counteract
the effect ;-)

Slightly better yes but check the arachidonic acid levels.... such
an egg will likely still feed the fires of inflammation.

Could this be contributing to the egg protein allergies? But I doubt
the AA content in eggs is so significant. How much meat would you
need to match the AA content of a single egg? And speaking just
Omega-6, how many table/tea spoons of corn oil would match the Omega-6
content in an egg?

P.S.: Also wondering whether the dioxins are accumulating in eggs like
they are accumulating in other animal fats ...
