Two eggs per day keeps the belly fat away
I found an intriguing study in the Advanced Online Publication section of the International Journal of Obestiy. (Currently you can download the full text of the article free here. Often these articles go unfree once they are published, so grab it in pdf while you can.) The paper shows the value of adding a couple of eggs to not just a low-carb diet, but to any calorically restricted diet.
The authors point out that since different foods confer different degrees of satiety (i.e., meat: a lot; pasta: not much), a diet composed of foods with higher satiety values might just help people lose weight more easily. Well, duh. Those of us in the low-carb biz have been saying that for years since low-carb diets are so much more satiating than high-carb diets, and, consequently, those who follow low-carb diets tend to spontaneously reduce their caloric intake. Of course the lipophobes out there all then shout that the extra fat and cholesterol are going to clog the arteries of anyone following a low-carb diet.
