'The holidays are quickly approaching - And upon my diet, quickly encroaching.' ~ Weight Loss Weekly

While it's not smart to put all of one's Diet Eggs in one basket, eggs are a super star when it comes to weight loss! Let's review a few of the following weight loss tips surrounding the incredible egg:

Eggs are a delicious protein food source and as we discussed in our weight loss tips yesterday, protein can assist in keeping the dieter full for longer periods at a time - which assist greatly in the weight loss process.

Eggs are very inexpensive; delicious meals can be created for a fraction of the cost of meat proteins. The egg whites make an excellent facial mask, too!

The cholesterol found in eggs is located in the yolk. The current daily recommendation for egg consumption is one egg per day, and that includes amounts of egg used to prepare all foods for the day. However, the Diet Jury is still out where eggs are concerned as conflict exists on just how many eggs per day can create a wrinkle in one's good health.

Eggs are a rich source for many nutrients and are very low in calories.  Note in our egg data chart above that '1 cup of eggs' generally equals about 5 eggs.

Try an omelet for breakfast tomorrow and see how long your tummy stays satisfied. Our suggested recipe for a low calorie omelet is: 2 slightly beaten eggs of any size (ostrich eggs excluded!!) PLUS a dash of milk, salt and pepper.

Cook in a non-stick skillet sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking. When omelet is 'set' on one side (meaning that the eggs are no longer extra runny), carefully flip.

Add any chopped veggie that you wish, and up to one slice of crumbled bacon or deli ham if desired PLUS 1/2 slice of your favorite cheese. Be sure to add the ingredients to the side of the omelet, then flip in half to finalize.

We enjoy any and all of the following in our omelets that have been sauteed before adding to the omelet: chopped or sliced mushrooms, olives, chopped broccoli, baby spinach, chopped onions.
