I should try that, it sounds nice

Here in Sweden the classic is spinach soup with eggs.

I respect people's choice to because vegetarian or vegan for animal welfare issues, but do not feel that this is a healthier course of action nutritionally speaking. In any event, the thread is for people who want to eat eggs, not those who are opposed to them. I wouldn't go into a conditioner-only thread to tell people how much I hate conditioner after all.

Like I said I don't want to offend anyone, I just hope people are aware of risks and check it out when they get signs of heart problems like I did.
Not everyone will be as sensitive as I am but it's just something to remember.
I was just worried about peoples health when I read to title and wanted to share my experience.

O yeah some extra info about the link I showed in my earlier post, it isn't from a vegan site but from a doctor who tries to collect as many studies about nutrition. He tries to be as objective as possible but he's seen a lot of people die because of heart disease. His aim is to collect as much information as possible and help people with diseases that can be influenced by nutrition. Yes he advices a plant based diet but that's not the same as vegan although I understand the confusion. But this is based on studies about nutrition while vegan is more an ethical thing.

There are loads of studies that say the higher the percentage of someone's diet consist of whole plant food the healthier someone is.
And not everyone is going to agree how high that percentage should be. And it might differ from person to person how much might be optimal.

Please be your own judge about what you think is right for you, but looking at different sources for information of information without immediately thinking its wrong can help make the correct decision for you.
And listening to your own body is always important.

Again please don't be offended

I have read his book, that is why I said he is vegan. The website itself does not say so, which I feel is a bit dishonest. There is an overwhelming amount of evidence from lipid scientists that it is sugar and vegetable oil, not cholesterol that should be cut.

I am currently reading this: https://www.amazon.ca/Deep-Nutrition.../dp/0615228380 and when I finish, I will be reading many of the studies they cited as I do with all such books. Do not rely on snippets from websites or things "everyone" knows.

I also believe vegetable oil andere sugar are unhealthy that doesn't automatically mean cholesterol isn't bad though.
If you have a link about a comparison I would be interested to read it.
The more information the better, especially when it's from different angles

It won't change the fact that I won't eat eggs again as I considers the signals my body gave me the most important. I got heart disease in my family so I guess I get more freaked out by symptoms of it. And I hope other won't experience it, but don't ignore it in case it happens. But everyone is different and will react differently to food.

3 boiled eggs has been my breakfast for the last couple of years, haven't seen any increase in growth since I started and to answer your question my monthly average is about 0.4 inches which is not much compare to many.
But I can add that I feel the quality if my hair has change for the better, might be because of my morning eggs in combination that I realised that wearing my hair in a braid at night really gave my hair a lot of mechanical damage.

That's a really good idea!

When the omelette was nearly cooked I would top it with cheese so that would melt and go all gooey and nice then serve it up folded over. I'd have it with a zingy juice as it was quite rich and oily but delicious.

That sounds so completely amazing... now I'm hungry!
