Hard Boiled Eggs...
...so are they good or bad for you?
My LDL is on the low end of the "high range". My mom and dad both are in the same boat. All average builds. I run about 20-30 miles a week. And I find hard boiled eggs a great snack and meal replacement. I try to hold myself to 1 hard boiled egg a day...some times I sneak 2. And if I make scrambled eggs (usually 3 at a time) I won't eat any eggs the following day. The reason: because I read shit online saying they are loaded with cholesterol and you should limit yourself to 3 a week. I eat at least half a dozen a week. But some sites say **** it. Eat all the eggs. Eggs are packed full of nutrient and "good" cholesterol. If nutritionally acceptable, I'd eat a dozen a week. So what is it CP health nuts...what's the story on hard boiled eggs for people like me who have higher than average LDL. And Tyler Bray. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Eggs have nothing to do with your cholesterol levels.
Most of it is straight genetics (you're ****ed!!!). Thank your parents. More importantly for cholesterol is to watch your saturated and especially trans fats. Some people just need medication regardless of diet and exercise modifications. Nothing wrong with that. |

Im pretty sure the "eggs are bad" mantra went out the window a few years ago. I read something recently that they are the perfect protein. I actually don't like them much but keep them around for a healthy snack (and my cholesterol is essentially perfect)

This. The emulsifiers in eggs actually keep the plaque from building up on your artery walls. Red Yeast Rice is great keeping your LDL down as well. There has been some recent negative news on RYR but don't buy into it. The Pharmaceutical Cos. are trying to do to it what it did to Ephedra a few years ago and outlaw it. The Pharmaceutical Cos. actually trying to develop drugs that mimic RYR. A lot of negative crap you see about herbal supplements is ginned up by the Pharmaceutical Cos. because they want you to be on drugs rather than something natural that they can't patent.

I take blood pressure medicine but got on a fresh asparagus kick and it dropped my blood pressure too low. Had to back off. Get some fresh asparagus ,cut the hard part of the stalk off, then cut the asparagus into bite size pieces and throw in a hot skillet with butter and lemn juice and cook for a couple minutes keeping some crunch to it and then throw a couple eggs on top. Man, that shit is goooood! |
