Ate 1000 eggs: a man conducted a dangerous experiment (2 photos + 1 video)
A Japanese fitness blogger ate a thousand chicken eggs in a month. He told how it affected his health.
Joseph Everett from Tokyo decided to test the advice of bodybuilders who claim that an egg diet is as effective for building muscle mass as steroid injections. He ate 30 eggs a day.
The Tokyo resident cooked them in various ways: he made omelets, added eggs to smoothies and mixed raw eggs with rice. The man supplemented his diet with small portions of beef, yogurt, fruit and honey.
In addition to the diet, the blogger did strength training focused on working with weights. The calorie content was from 3,300 to 3,700 calories per day, which significantly exceeds the recommended norm for men.
In a month, Joseph gained 6 kg of muscle mass, and his strength indicators increased by 20 kg. Blood tests did not reveal any problems with cholesterol.
The level of triglycerides, which are markers of the risk of cardiovascular diseases, decreased. On the 20th day of the diet, the blogger began to experience digestive problems, such as constipation and cramps.
He switched to eating cooked egg whites. This normalized his well-being. Everett concluded that 30 eggs a day really help muscle growth.
Note: Eggs are a valuable source of protein, vitamins, and healthy fats. But nutritionists recommend a balanced diet and moderate egg consumption to avoid overloading the body with cholesterol and saturated fats.
