Egg Protein for Weight Control
Why Do Dieters Use It?*
Egg protein is sometimes promoted as a weight-loss supplement that increases metabolism, burns fat while building muscles, reduces appetite, and helps control blood sugar levels. People who use egg protein as part of a low-carbohydrate, high-protein, weight-loss diet say it helps them stay full longer, avoid sugar cravings, and lose weight quickly. Egg protein is sometimes preferred by people who believe it is important to use animal protein, especially if they are not able to use whey- or casein-based supplements due to lactose intolerance, dairy protein sensitivities, or allergies.
What Do the Advocates Say?*
Weight management experts often recommend a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet to help overweight and obese people lose weight and keep it off. Adding a supplement such as egg protein can help people reach protein intake goals for weight loss. Some people believe that animal protein, like the protein in eggs, is better utilized by the body than plant protein and will be more effective for preserving muscle mass and stimulating fat loss during weight loss.
