I Ate 720 Eggs in 1 Month. Here's What Happened to my Cholesterol

[@rmjon23]

I've long been interested in self-experimenters of any kind, and here Nick Norwitz enters the Hall of Fame, first ballot. Seth Roberts would've been impressed. To top it off, he ends with his "legit-bait" approach to social media to make us all aware of the CRAP of most "memes" out there. Let us not underestimate his message here! Finally, he's a really good communicator and total mensch. Bravo, Norwitz!

(Too many) eggs will destroy your mitochondria and cardiolipin, as excess Omega 6s are toxic. Potentially leading to cancer in the long run.

Things which make carbs into bodyfat: 1) polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, 2) flax seed, 3) undereating, diets 4) high fat diet in long term, 5) soy, 6) very high protein diet, 7) low carb diet, 8) stress, 9) most herbs in higher quantities permanently used. 10) low potassium (lack of fruits, vegetables), 11) plastics (packaging and so on), 12) estrogen. I want to add that when carbs get converted to fat, people get also a light form of dementia. Proteins get converted into carbs and then into fat under above mentioned circumstances. Alcohol and other addictions rise from inability to use carbs or lack of carbs (alcohol has a lot of calories, every time you smoke, glucose gets released into blood etc). If the carbs do not get converted into fats or into energy, then you get diabetes and high blood sugar. If you dont eat at least 1 pound/0,5 kg carbs a day, your body might be eating in one month 2,2 pounds/ about 1 kg of your own flesh (proteins) and would turn those proteins into carb (Minesota starvation experiment). The body takes proteins from your heart, liver, skin, joints, muscles etc. and turns them into carb. Naturally those organs will get sick.

That’s a LOT of eggs! I can’t imagine being able to eat so many even for one day. I’m not trying to lose weight, but I did lose 80 lbs and might use one egg-filled meal to maintain my weight. I just listened to research about how much easier it was to eat fewer calories when you’re eating the same bland food everyday. Though not bland, eggs are simple and satiating. Maybe I could eat 5-6 at one meal a day, but it would be tough. I’m sort of nauseated just thinking about it.

[@weksauce]

@@bonnieschmidt5882 I eat the same not-at-all bland food every day (one meal cycles A/B every other day). I eat 10 eggs a day. You can succeed on a potato diet, the blandest, or blueprint, what I eat, which is like the richest, sublest foods. Pomegranate, fennel, beets, dijon mustard, macademia nuts, these are not bland foods. The main principle behind eating a really boring diet like potato only is to reset your food horniness and see it for what it is, and recognize and discern between food horniness and hunger. You aren't hungry if you lost 80lb and aren't at single-digit bf% now. How do I know this? Because hunger is not just a feeling like your blood sugar is low. Hunger is the feeling you get when you're literally starving, not "starving". When you fast for a few days and you're already lean, or fast for a few dozen days when you're starting fat, you'll re-acquaint yourself with hunger. If you eat potatoes only, you'll also re-acquiant yourself with hunger, because eating YET ANOTHER POTATO will do nothing for your food horniness, but it would obviously be EASY to do if you were truly HUNGRY. Higher protein diets are generally subjectively found to be more satiating per calorie by almost all humans. I laugh at all the people who complain about monotony or seek novelty in diets. Like, just think of your ancestors. They didn't even have a fraction of the stimulation you have, and they were fine, eating much more monotonous diets for decades, lifetime after lifetime. You can do infinite ridiculous things like eat out-of-season berries from across the world, put spices from every corner of Earth onto a vegetable from one continent, with butter from an animal from a different continent, and sea salt from the Himalayas. Life is too easy.

I know a farmer that was born and raised on the farm that raised chickens the first part of his life and cattle the second. He ate eggs (not sure how many) and drank coffee every morning of his life. He lived to be 88, was active all the way to the end. However, he always had heart problems from when I knew him in his late 40s to 80s. Nevertheless, an emergency room or hospital visit every couple of years for heart issues never slowed him down from getting back on his tractor or out in the fields every day. He would have a heart event, go to hospital for about a week, go home and get right back to working around the farm like nothing happened. He did not smoke or drink or eat fast food. He lived on eggs, beef, home grown vegetables, and coffee. Now, all that to say, I don't know what to make of it. I also see people that live close to 100 that eat cake, icecream, hotdogs, burgers, canned meat, processed cheese, and junk food every single day. Now those people have trouble getting around and they're not able to do physical work like farming but they live well into 90s. I honestly don't know what to make of it. Also, most of the people I've seen that don't make it into elder years were on a lot of drugs or pharmaceuticals regardless of their diet.

Like most processes in life, they need to be balanced. Where that balance of health is, will be different for different people. a LMHR person may be able to tolerate a much higher level of LDL cholesterol. Another person with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome may not tolerate a higher level of LDL. That's why Diabetes and metabolic syndrome are the highest risks for a heart attack. so lowering the LDL in the person with metabolic syndrome is more important than for a LMHR. perhaps the take-home message from this video is for us to stop making eggs the cholesterol villain. Enjoy some eggs but not 760 in a month.

Those are not healthy numbers, and you may regret continuing this diet down the road. Humans were never intended to be carnivores. If so, we would synthesize our own vitamin C, and our microbiome would not benefit from fiber. Note that the populations with highest longevity are those who consume little to no animal protein. You may have found all kinds of information to the contrary, but peer-reviewed science suggests that a diet rich in plants will lower your risk of heart disease, cancer, and other lifestyle illnesses.

[@pasielski]

I just recently finished Vince Gironda's Hormone Precursor Diet. It consists of a dozen raw eggs a day for a week, then two dozen raw eggs a day for the second week, three dozen raw eggs a day for four weeks, then back to two dozen raw eggs a day for a week followed by a final week of a dozen raw eggs a day. These eggs were consumed as shakes with a dozen raw eggs, 12oz of half&half and a scoop of whey protein. My cholesterol went up, insulin sensitivity went up, cortisol went down, inflammation went down. I gained 8lbs of LBM in those two months and added an inch to my biceps. I did gain 10lbs of body fat in the process unfortunately but that's what cuts are for lol. I believe all the "negative" effects of this two months EGGperiment is a result of the dairy and not the eggs. Since I've only dropped the dairy and my dropped body fat like crazy and still blasting through PRs in the gym

[@ThePhillyDz]

I wonder if the half and half was replaced with straight cream, eliminating the lactose element, would have any effect.

[@pasielski]

@@ThePhillyDz it most definitely would decrease the effects of lactose sensitivity (bloating, farting and such) but it would up the calories greatly. Cream is 100 calories per ounce so 12oz of cream alone would be 1200 calories. 12oz of half&half is 473 calories so straight cream is almost triple the calories. So on three shake days that's an extra 2100 calories and roughly 4 extra pounds of weekly weight gain which would mostly be from fat. 4 extra pounds a week added to my 3lbs I gained during the four 3-shake weeks. I would probably feel better with just cream but definitely would have gained more weight and mostly likely more weight from fat than I already did.
