what's your opinion about eggs? nowadays especially if you work out eggs are considered a quite controversial matter. Some thing that you wheat is the only one needed and that the yolk may harm your health others the opposite and others that you are ok with both yolk and wheat

I have a mild allergy to wheat. The lectin proteins trigger my asthma, so the removal of flour products has improved my health drastically.
Even though eggs are a 'superfood' the ones that are not 'free-range' and pumped full of hormones, I worry about.
The food system is screwed up. Nothing is 'real' anymore. Your best bet is to try an elimination diet. You do this by eliminating certain foods from your diet for 30 days, then re-intruding them one at a time. You judge how you feel during the re-introduction period, to determine what foods suite your body.
The 30 day period is meant to re-sensitize your body to the eliminated food, so that you get accurate feedback once it is brought back into the diet. When I used this protocol with wheat, I immediately felt the harmful effects after bringing it back into my diet.
Trial and error is key, as everyone is different. Do science on yourself. Play with one variable at a time so that you don't get interference and misinterpret anything
i didn't know about the elimination diet and i wanted to start a diet after all that food i ate at Christmas. I will try that. The foods you eliminate are specific or it's adjustable to what you wanna check out?
If you are a keen reader, pick up ‘Wired to Eat’- Robb Wolf. The author is an amazing researcher and thinker in the realm of nutrition. The book will Fulfill all your needs.
i will check it out!
If you read the book, let me know what you think...
The dude also has an amazing podcast.
My opinion is that the yolk is the most nutritious part. If you are trying to lose weight, choline in egg yolks helps to metabolize fat. Plus, they are a bargain food almost everywhere. I am not a body builder or anything, but I don't think eggs are the problem for most people. In fact, I've relied upon short "egg fasts" to help reset my appetite when it gets off track. I know eggs don't agree with everybody, but if they work for you, they're a healthy part of a good diet.
Here are a couple of very good and affordable egg and salmon recipes, so you can get two superfoods in one: https://steemit.com/food/@digitalmutt/2-1-easy-recipe-for-new-year-s-day-part-and-breakfast
i eat eggs a lot from when i was a kid but nowadays with all the work out trend out there i keep listening that ''egg is not good'' ''it will harm you later'' ''only wheat worth''etc etc i still keeping eating a lot of eggs without any problems.
Well, I'm no kid (middle aged) and haven't been "hurt" by eggs. Maybe some people are sensitive to them or something. They used to say that they contained too much cholesterol, but that has been debunked. Sugar and processed food will certainly hurt you later, but I doubt having a couple of eggs a day will do any harm? How do these people say eggs will hurt you? In fact, I think I'm going to make some salmon patties (with eggs) for lunch. Maybe I'll throw in some spinach. I've got to hit all the superfoods in one dish. :)
from gym ''talks'' i had the conversation starts with the cholesterol argument, i say what you said too and have to keep listening one stupid argument after another that new new new new studies shown that indeed cholesterol in eggs is an issue... i don't mind them in fact haha i ate 2 eggs a couple of minutes ago :P.
you are in another lvl with the salmon and spinach. as a dessert eat choco with coconut milk and you are a superfoods god :P
Cholesterol is present in every cell within the body. We need it to survive. Burn victims are feed copious amounts of eggs to aid in their recovery.
Right, and they figured out that eating cholesterol isn't what causes people to build up plaque in their veins. It's one of those myths that is making people sick.
Cholesterol only builds up as plaque in arteries when inflammation is present. Without inflammation, cholesterol is harmless.
