Raw eggs

we live in an age of cheap and efficient supplements but you can go for it if you like.

I used to throw a couple in my shake back when i used to lift weights. makes it all thick and nice. aswell as nutritious. You will gain a lot weight . It's full of colestoral and saturated fat.

for all your nutritional info. basically 4 eggs will get you 347 calories - 31g of protien, but a whopping 1028mg of cholestorol. Almost 0 carbs. Nice source of Iron.

 

I used to do 6-8 eggs in a pint of milk every morning when i was on a powerlifting routine (with my porridge!) and it helped bulk me up quite a bit :good

****ing love the taste too! though my kids used to be nearly sick watching me drink it

 

I have and I must say... don't do it. Made me sick to my stomach.

 

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]Raw eggs for health[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]I highly recommend consuming raw eggs as a way of making sure you get high quality protein and fats into your diet. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]Why would anyone eat the eggs in a raw form? Heating the egg protein actually changes its chemical shape, and it is this change in the protein structure which can easily be a cause of allergies. The heating also destroys many of the nutrients and proteins found inside the egg. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]What usually pops in people's minds when you talk about raw eggs are the risks of being infected with salmonella.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]There is no doubt that salmonella is a serious infection. Its symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, feve, chills. The symptoms of salmonella food poisoning can strike anyone, but they're more likely to hit 3 groups: the elderly; children; and people with HIV, cancer, or other diseases which impair the immune system. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]Salmonella is usually a self-limiting illness in healthy people[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]However the truth is that salmonella is generally a benign self-limiting illness in healthy people. The key principle to keep in mind here is that if you are healthy a salmonella infection is not a big deal. You may feel sick and have loose stools for a day or 2, but this infection is easily treated by using high-quality probiotics which contain friendly bacteria. Take some probiotics every 30 minutes until you start to feel better, and in most cases your condition will improve within a few hours.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]The risk of salmonella infection is usually only present in traditionally raised commercial hens. If one purchases ones eggs from healthy chickens, the risk of infection is dramatically reduced. It's important to note that only sick chickens lay salmonella-contaminated eggs. If you purchase high quality, cage-free, organically fed, chicken eggs, the risks are dramatically reduced.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]If one looks at studies which have been done to analyse the risks of contracting salmonella from raw eggs, it is surprising to find out how low this risk actually is. A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2002 (Risk Analysis April 2002 22(2):203-18) indicates that only 2.3 million, out of the 69 billion eggs produced annually, are contaminated with salmonella. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]So this really means that only 0.003 % of eggs are infected. Viewed another way, only 1 in every 30,000 eggs is contaminated with salmonella, which shows how uncommon this problem actually is. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]Based on those numbers, the average person would come across a contaminated egg only once in 42 years. [/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]What about the biotin-deficiency risks from eating too many raw egg whites?[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]Egg whites contain a glycoprotein called "avidin" which binds biotin - one of the B vitamins - very effectively. The cooking process deactivates the avidin in the egg, much the same way it deactivates every other protein in the egg white. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif][SIZE=+1]While it is true that eating too many raw egg whites by themselves will cause you to suffer from a biotin deficiency, the fact is that nature created the egg in such a way that its yolk is very rich in biotin. One of the highest concentration in nature. Eat the egg whole together with the egg white and you will be fine.[/SIZE][/FONT]

There was a link with my last post it was not my work. http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/raw-eggs.htm

 

Add more eggs and you'll taste it more. and that's what tends to make people sick (always funny) when i describe how slimy the yoke was going down, like thick snot

But yeah you could phase it in, just try a couple in half a glass of milk, and go from there. or do a couple glasses a day. i found raw eggs to be much better than protein shakes for adding bulk. fast too, people will comment after a couple weeks that you seem bigger.

 

Whatever works best for you mate :good

I do a lot of cardio work and seemed to keep my muscle gains from the weights better when i just had raw eggs than i did when using protein powder, but like i say whatever works for you, everyone's different.

 

Eggs are good cholesterol by the way.

I never eat (or drink) raw eggs. I hard boil them..It takes 10 minutes and I usually take my shower while they are boiling. Not really time consuming and much tastier.

 

If you stir them up before consuming... it makes the yolk much easier to get down my friends.

 

I was going to say the same, people stay away from anything with the word cholesterol or fat in , however there is good cholesterol the same as there are good fats that are essential. Like everything in life moderation is the key!

 

I was one of those people once, till I started asking questions on sites like this, reading whats in certain foods and why I should/ shouldn't eat such and such.

 

Personally never tried it and i would have doubts about it but good luck to people who do it:thumbsup
