A young fitness and sports enthusiast shared how he reduced blood fats and increased his muscle strength by following a diet of 30 eggs per day.
Joseph Everett decided to eat 1,000 eggs in a month as an experiment to test a bodybuilder’s claim that this diet was just as effective for muscle building as using dangerous steroid injections.
He also conducted blood tests before and after the month-long experiment to measure various aspects of his health, including cholesterol levels.
The recorded images showed that he gained a significant amount of muscle mass—about 6 kg (13 lbs) from his initial weight. Besides muscle growth, he noticed a considerable boost in his energy levels and workout performance.
Despite common concerns that consuming such a high number of eggs could raise cholesterol levels, his blood tests indicated either improvement or stability in his blood fat levels. This could be because dietary cholesterol does not always directly impact blood cholesterol, especially in physically active individuals who follow a balanced diet.
However, experts warn that such an extreme diet is not suitable for everyone and could pose long-term risks. Excessive protein and fat intake from certain sources may affect liver and kidney health, particularly if not balanced with other essential nutrients.
At the end of the experiment, Everett described the experience as “transformative” but emphasized that such a diet requires careful monitoring and health supervision.
