The essence of the egg-orange diet
The diet cycle is divided into weeks, starting, in most cases, on Monday. We decided to simply divide it into seven days, without being tied to the days of the week. They say new beginnings are unsuccessful on Monday, so start on any convenient day. The first week will not please you with a variety of breakfasts. One of the pillars of the diet menu is the combination of eggs and citrus. The simultaneous use of these products causes metabolic processes in the body, during which "extra" fats are burned. This is very serious work, which is why eggs and citrus should be consumed mainly at the beginning of the day.
With the help of this diet, extreme weight loss is possible. So in 5 days it is really possible to lose 5 kg. Grapefruits can be substituted for oranges. A day you need to eat 6 oranges and 6 eggs. The duration of this extreme diet is up to 7 days.
A milder version of the egg and orange diet is also possible. The method is designed for 4 weeks. For 1 week, 9 eggs and 6 oranges are eaten per day. In the second, third and fourth weeks you can diversify the diet with fruits and vegetables, but only raw. So you can lose weight up to 10 kg per month.

Opinions of doctors
American nutritionists have conducted studies that eggs are the healthiest and most low-calorie way to saturate the body. This product contains almost all the necessary trace elements and vitamins, the antioxidant lutein, indicated for the elderly and sportsmen. Eating eggs prevents obesity and diabetes.
Due to the content of healthy fats in eggs, a feeling of satiety appears, and the feeling of hunger is dulled.
However, this diet is not entirely suitable for people prone to allergic reactions. After all, eggs and citrus fruits are highly allergenic.
The content of a large number of fruits and vegetables in the egg diet will not allow the body to feel a lack of vitamins and minerals, unlike, for example, a protein diet. The diet menu causes the production of carnitine, which also helps burn calories.
It should be remembered that according to the employees of the health and epidemiological station, 10 out of 20 thousand eggs for sale are infected with a bacterium that causes dysentery, vomiting and confusion. It is called salmonella. It is located on a damaged shell. Therefore, if you still decide to follow this diet, rinse the eggs well and boil them for at least 5 minutes.
Contraindications:

I must add that I was actively engaged in the gym. Maybe that's why this result. The hips "decreased" by 9 cm, the waist - up to 12 cm! He was very irritable!
Second review: after giving birth we managed to lose 8 kg! In the opinion of the endocrinologist I visited, this is not just a diet, but a correct nutritional system. During the diet, a taste of acetone appeared in the mouth. After seeing the endocrinologist (since there is a kidney problem, I don't want to risk it), he advised me to drink more water. As a result, I lost 8 kg in 4 weeks!
Third tip: only those who don't like eggs can have problems! I did not fully adhere to the egg diet, but the basis of the diet was eggs, fruits and vegetables. About 5 eggs were eaten every day of the month. Stable, it took about 200 grams every day. As a result, I lost 5500 in one month! This is despite the fact that I practically did not sit on a diet and denied myself anything!
