In his new new book Good Calories Bad Calories, Gary Taubes writes that foods that you can eat as much as you want of as advocated by low-carbohydrate advocates include:

1. Meat, fish, birds


2. All green vegetables


3. Eggs, dried or fresh


4. Cheese


5. Fruit, if unsweetened or sweetened with saccharin, except bananas and grapes

Comment: Eggs make me fat

Comment: Eggs make me fat.

I love eggs and have tried several times consuming practically an all egg diet—20 or 30 scrambled eggs a day—as part of a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet.

But when I have done so, I have always found that after a few days I look in the mirror and think, “Oh my god! Look how fat I am!”

So the idea of eating as many eggs as you want as a way of helping you lose weight has not work for me.
