I've been LC for four years but the carbs, the wine and the weight have snuck up this summer. I need to kick start weight loss again and DH is away for three days so I'm going to try an egg fast to get back into ketosis and reset things.
I KNOW it's mad and I'm not advocating it for anyone else but thought starting a thread may make me more accountable and some other fools may join in!
I'm following Stuntnun's thread from 2014 and this blog from I breathe I'm hungry. The basic rules are :
At least 6 eggs a day, more if you want.,1 tbsp of butter/mayo/coconut oil per egg and an optional 1oz of cheese and buckets of water.
I may also add in a little lettuce and celery if I'm really struggling.
Dairy is my downfall, so I'm going to try out bullet proof coffee for the first time. I'm 10lbs over my lowest weight and 7lbs from where I feel good, so hoping for a few pounds off to get on track.
I've bought eggs, butter, mayo and cheese. I feel like I could live on omelettes and egg mayonnaise but I may feel differently come Friday.

Now I did have bloat to lose - I'd been away last weekend and it was totally indulgent. Hence the good weight loss this week. Second weigh in and another two pounds off. Delighted! Although almost sick of the sight of eggs !
Persevering today with a bpc this morning, 3 egg scramble and extra cheese for lunch. I'm going out this evening but I won't be eating or drinking. I'll try and push a couple of fried eggs down before I go but I really do not feel hungry. Not at all 
It's been a great way to kickstart my lchf woe again and I highly recommend it Paris , especially if you're already used to eating that way.
You've done brilliantly cathyandclare and thanks for the inspiration! Any plans to do it again before Christmas?
Hi ......... I have watched your thread and followed the egg diet from Tuesday - Friday and list 3 lbs (yippee) and will continue next week from Monday - thrusday the rest of the time really consider what I am shovelling on my mouth and of course what I will be drinking.I would like to be under 12st for Christmas even 12st. 13lbs would be good 
..... Could I join please ????
Thank you ........ Good luck with weigh in X
Menu for today
Boiled eggs and orange green tea
Lunch omelette and green salad green tea
Dinner chicken and stemmed veg
Good luck very eggcited
Well 2lb up after 2-3 days of sheer indulgence, not as bad as I'd feared or deserved I think these few days will just be clearing that bloat and hopefully resetting my appetite.
Hi everything, I've been Ok bowel-wise but never done more than 3 days and usually have a few forbidden green things. I think I saw BIWI on the bootcamp threads say that the fat and all the fluid helps.I definitely don't think anything this extreme is a good idea long term though!!!
fried eggs and black coffee for breakfast
egg mayo and celery for lunch
cheese souffle for supper
After going up by 2lbs on Sunday morning after a Fri night and Saturday off it, I got back on it although with some vegetables. So, this morning after two days back, I'm down a total of 5lbs since the start. Pretty pleased with that.
It's helped to reset my appetite for sure. However, I work well on two meals a day. I'm not a breakfast person. I like a big brunch and then dinner early eve. A BPC in the morning keeps me satiated for ages - I'd much rather that than a proper breakfast.
I was surprised to not be constipated.....I think it's the combination of fluid intake up and extra fat that keeps things...ahem....moving
