Lose 11% Body Fat in 8 Weeks W/Out Dieting Efforts!? The 'Egg-Approach' to Low CHO Dieting Quintuples Fat Loss

Written by | published on

There are 1bn ways to prepare your eggs and the Internet is a rich source of recipes. You will probably remember the SuppVersity news about the pro-anabolic effects of eggs - whole eggs - from the other day. Now, "gainz" are nice, but as a recent study from the  University of Alabama at Birmingham  indicates (Goss 2017), they are also a highly useful diet food. In their recent experimental trial, Amy Miskimon Goss and colleagues investigated the effects of whole eggs, being consumed as part of a low carb diet on the diet-induced changes in body composition, body fat distribution and selected health parameters in aging men and women. Whole eggs are also an excellent source of dietary protein Yolk: Triglyceride & LDL ↓, HDL ↑ Eggs Boost Vit Uptake 3-4-fold Egg-o-logy - All About Eggs Egg is Healthier Than Oatmeal Eggs Contain Preformed Vit D 3 eggs/d = Doping for 'ur Heart For their randomized clinical trial, Goss et al. recruited 26 m...

Three Eggs a Day = Doping for Your Heart Health: Larger LDL & HDL, Increased Efflux and Transport + More Benefits

Written by | published on

Don't miss out on a long-neglected superfood. With the latest study from the University of Connecticut  the evidence of beneficial (heart-)health effects of increased egg consumption keep accumulating - and this time, we are up to three eggs per day in healthy subjects. The latest study from the  University of Connecticut  adds to the previously discussed health benefits of eggs . Starting with the important and scientifically warranted premise that HDL function may be more important than HDL concentration in determining risk for cardiovascular disease, the authors Diana M DiMarco, Gregory H Norris, Courtney L Millar, Christopher N Blesso, and Maria Luz Fernandez conducted a study to confirm and quantify the previously observed increases in HDL and LDL particle size, LCATactivity, and plasma apoAII and carotenoid concentrations in unhealthy populations, in a group of 40 men and women 40 men and women [age 18–30 y, BMI (in kg/m²) 18.5–29.9] who were - hopefully just li...

Egg-Ology Today: The Underappreciated Health Benefits of Egg Phospholipids, Proteins & Antioxidants in the Yolk

Written by | published on

The yolk is where almost all the "good" stuff in the eggs resides. Throwing the yolk of the 1-2 eggs you eat per day away, as people have been doing it for decades is thus madness. For decades eggs have been falsely accused of being the drivers of the heart disease epidemic (cardiovascular disease claims upwards of 17 million lives worldwide each year | WHO. 2011). More recently, however, the small "cholesterol bombs" have been acquitted of all charges and scientists begin to (re-)evaluate their already know, but largely ignored health benefits. Health benefits that are not  solely related to their high protein content , by the way. As a SuppVersity  reader you will know that eggs are valuable protein sources, but don't worry: This is not what today's SuppVersity article is about. Rather than that I would like to highlight a much less-known egg constituent, the egg phospholipids. Learn more about the effects of your diet on your health at the SuppV...

Whey, Egg & Mixed Proteins - Effects on Muscle, Fat Cells and the Hypothalamus Suggest 70% Whey + 30% Egg May be Best for People Striving for Leanness & Muscularity

Dairy or eggs? Why not just dairy and eggs - Protein mix exerts most promising effects on signalling proteins related to increased muscle mass and fat loss, analysis of the results of a study shows. You will probably remember that the acute rate of muscle protein synthesis is not a valid proxy of the gains you can expect from a certain way of training or a specific type of supplement (Mitchell. 2015). Against that background you may very well ask yourselves why I am elaborating on the results of the latest study from the School of Kinesiology, Molecular and Applied Sciences Laboratory and the Auburn University  which examined the acute effects of different dietary protein sources on skeletal muscle. Well, despite the fact that this is a rodent study and irrespective of the questionable link between acute markers of protein synthesis and long-term gains, this is imho the first study to compare the effects whey and egg proteins have on skeletal muscle, adipose tissue and ...

18% Increased Protein Breakdown W/ 20g of Egg Protein Before Workout - Reason Enough for Avoiding Pre-Workout Protein Supps? Rational & Experimental Counter-Evidence

Written by | published on

Protein before workouts "accelerates protein catabolism"? That sounds worse than it actually is (photo BSN). Most of you will probably consume a protein shake after their workout. Probably whey, if you've read all SuppVersity articles, maybe 25g whey + 10g casein ( learn why ), or something like that. But what do you do before your workouts? Do you consume a protein shake 60-90 minutes before your workout? If so, you will be shocked about the conclusion of a recent study from the Tokyo University of Agriculture which says: "[...]  pre-exercise protein supplementation taken in excess may accelerate protein catabolism" (Hasegawa. 2014). But is it actually possible that consuming more protein (albeit at the wrong time) will have a negative impact on your gains?
