0:27 The nutrition in eggs

10:45 How do you cook an egg to maximize nutrition?

Today, I'm going to tell you why I eat four eggs a day and why you should do this too. 

The nutrition of an egg is determined by how the chicken is raised and by what it's fed. I recommend getting organic pasture-raised eggs. Getting your eggs from a farmer's market is a great idea or even raising your own chickens for eggs. 

It's important to note that I do not eat eggs for breakfast. I eat them for a late lunch because I fast breakfast. It's also important to consume the whole egg vs. only egg whites. 

Heating an egg can destroy some of the carotenoids. To maximize the nutrition of the eggs, it's great to have them poached or over-easy. If you like them scrambled, it's best to crack them inside of the pan and allow the whites to turn white before scrambling them.

If you're a small person, you may want to consume one or two eggs a day. If you're a larger person, you may want to consume three or four.

I love that my neighbor allows his chickens to “free range” onto my property and even said if I feel like cooking one he’s more than fine with it. We trade food and favors all the time. Also great pest control around my house. I love thy neighbor.

Dr. Berg, I went on your fasting diet and ate a lot of things you suggested. I want to thank you because no other Doctor gave me the advice that you have. I figured out I was insulin resistant from watching all your Diabetic Vids. I am type II diabetic, WAS overweight. I went from 267 down to 212 and still losing. I take a small shot of good virgin olive oil, coffee in the morning and around 12-1 I have eggs for lunch with an english muffin. Eat a sensible dinner at 6 and don't eat till the next day, sometimes I cheat and have a little ice cream. lol. My A1C is 5.6 and my sugar in the morning ranges from 85 to 95. I went from a 40 waist down to almost a 34. All i had to do was follow your direction, in which I did and have not felt as good as I do now!! So, THANK YOU my friend...

My mom has been raising chickens ever since I was a kid so I haven’t eaten store bought chicken and eggs in probably 15 years. Even now that I’m 25 and living by myself she still brings me an ungodly amount of eggs and chicken meat. After this video I’m pretty thankful for that.

3 to 4 whole eggs daily since three years after you encouraged me.
Before that I was afraid of its cholesterol.
But after daily consumption of 4 eggs my cholesterol, blood pressure even got better.
Thank you Sir Berg for the awareness

My grandparents have chicken running around in the wild and whenever they give me eggs I can immediately tell the difference. Each egg looks different but the taste is way better than eggs from the supermarket. Same goes for vegetables. We grow salat, potatoes, onions, paprika and tomatoes at home. Many people do here in Austria. Wish you all the best!

[noorthelight]

I eat eggs everyday. I love eating eggs and was never afraid of any cholesterol issues even when I had not seen any videos on consuming eggs.

[chasgantz]

3 hardboiled eggs every morning for the last month. I've dropped 10 lbs in a month. I've also cut way down on soda.

My family had 5 chickens for about 5 years. They were the best eggs I have ever eaten, and store bought eggs are just not the same since. They also kept bugs out of our garden because they instantly ate them all.

[roncalender]

My chickens are spoiled with forest and pasture and every thing a chicken could need or want. I spend all my time watching over them. When i eat their eggs i feel an uplifting energy and mood. The aminos in the natural chicken are amazing.

My chickens love home grown cabbage and I often add catnip to their organic grain which really chills them out. They produce extra large eggs that are so tasty.

[daimlerbenzstuttgart]

Because I really listen to all your excellent advice and I changed completely how I eat, I lost 50 pounds in the last 4 months!
I feel Great, I was 290 feeling horrible with no energy, now I feel like I can do all the things I used to do 30 years ago!
Thanks Dr Berg, I wish all the doctors I seen over the years would explain things the way you do.
God Bless You. ❤👍

I also eat 5 or 6 eggs everyday, help me to loss 60 lbs while building some muscles, actually i started this habit last year after i saw your video about eggs brnefit. Thanks dr berg.

Where I live in Croatia there are vending machines for almost all farmer products including eggs, so you can just get eggs from local farmers from a vending machine. Also anywhere outside of cities there are tons of chickens everywhere, outside of main roads usually they can roam freely around the villages

My favorite 2-3 pieces mashed garlic and 3 eggs mixed it up in bowl.
Than 3-4 tbs olive oil, 1 tbs organic butter put in the pan and cook like a scramble eggs.
You’ll love it this Anatolian style omelette. 😊

I add flax seed to our chicken feed and it ups the omega 3 and it gives a beautiful orange yolk. Coupled in with the free ranging on the pasture, it's why I eat 4 eggs. Free Run is uncaged but within a building but still on straight grains. Free Range is pastured. Love this channel

[tmarr]

You are an EXCELLENT educator of medicine and health! I've been overdosing on your videos because of the wealth of knowledge you are providing. Thank GOD for you! Blessings Dr. Berg!

Thanks for this video! I watched this in late April and began eating 4 eggs with some meat & spinach for breakfast everyday, also watched a lot of your other videos and began working towards a keto lifestyle and intermittent fasting. In four months I've lost 50 lbs, my A1C went from 11 to 6.6, I'm taking 50mcg less levothyroxine, dropped 1 diabetes & 1 hbp med. Up til April I hadn't eaten eggs in 3 years, they always made me sick. Found out it was the combo of eggs with carbs that was making me sick. Again, thanks so much.

[oldfart]

I also eat 4 eggs a day. Normally in an omelet with cheese and spinach. Normally about 2PM. By definition it is still Breakfast as it BREAKS my Fast

I have family in Greece. Whenever I go I always notice the egg yoke color is extremely vibrant and looks nothing like the color we see here in the states. It's extremely orange and you can actually taste that there's more nutrition in the yoke itself. They are raised on plant based feed and can roam their asses around and one farmer I went to was feeding them alfalfa. best frikin eggs ive ever tasted.
