Question: Is bacon, eggs, and cheese a good daily breakfast for weigh loss on a virtually no carb diet?
I don't want high cholesterol. I've never had a problem with it, but then again I've never eaten eggs on a regular basis. Lately though, I've been craving cheesy eggs.

Answers:

Eggs are the perfect food. Most of the highly valued nutrition is in the yolk. I would not advise eating the egg white without the yolk.

Eggs 'should be considered a superfood' say scientists

Nutrition scientists have found that eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods available and are recommending that we eat AT LEAST one egg a day to get the optimum benefits.

FINALLY they admit - no difference in the risk of heart disease even with highest intake of saturated fat & eggs are a superfood & have no effect on cholesterol

The body does better with more saturated fat than less. Saturated fats are required to make many vitamins & minerals bioavailable so they can be incorporated into the body structure. Saturated fat is required for the body to function properly & to regenerate & heal.

7 Reasons to Eat More Saturated Fat

1) Improved cardiovascular risk factors

Saturated fat in the diet is the only means to reduce the levels of lipoprotein (a) — that correlates strongly with risk for heart disease. Eating fats raises the level of HDL, the good cholesterol.

2) Stronger bones

Saturated fat is required for calcium to be incorporated into bone - According to expert in human health, Mary Enig, Ph.D., as much as 50% of dietary fats should be saturated fats for calcium to be effective in the bone structure.

3) Improved liver health

Studies show that saturated fat encourages the liver cells to dump fat content. Saturated fat has been shown to protect the liver from toxic insults & even to reverse the damage.

4) Healthy lungs

The fat content of lung surfactant is 100% saturated fatty acids. Replacement of these critical fats by other types of fat makes faulty surfactant & potentially causes collapse of the airspaces & respiratory distress.

5) Healthy brain

Your brain is mainly made of fat & cholesterol. Most of the fatty acids in the brain are actually saturated. The brain needs saturated fats to function optimally.

6) Proper nerve signaling & hormone production

Certain saturated fats, found in butter, lard, coconut oil, function directly as signaling messengers that influence the metabolism.

7) Strong immune system

Saturated fats found in butter & coconut oil play key roles in immune health. Loss of sufficient saturated fatty acids in the white blood cells hampers their ability to recognize & destroy foreign invaders, such as viruses, bacteria, germs & fungi. We need them to keep the immune system vigilant against cancerous cells & infectious invaders.

Saturated fats play many important biologic roles. They are an integral component of cell membranes, which are 50% saturated fat. Lung surfactant is composed entirely, when available, of one particular saturated fat. Properly made with this fat, it prevents asthma & other breathing disorders. For nourishment, heart muscle cells prefer long-chain saturated fats over carbohydrates. Saturated fats are required for bone to assimilate calcium. They help the liver clear out fat & provide protection from the adverse effects of toxins. Saturated fats in butter and coconut oil, play an important role in the immune system. They stabilize proteins that enable white blood cells to destroy invading viruses, bacteria, fungi, & fight tumors. Saturated fatty acids function as signaling messengers for hormone production, including insulin.

Plaque build up in the arteries are more attributable to carb consumption than dietary fats, which seems to be the conclusion of the following study. Carb consumption raises triglycerides & VLDL (bad cholesterol). Fats raise the HDL (good cholesterol). High triglyceride levels & low HDL levels are an indicator of plaque, glycation - the precursors to a heart attack and heart disease.

study from the Oxford group examining the postprandial (after-eating) effects of a low-fat vs. low-carbohydrate diet. (Roberts R et al, 2008)

Postprandial lipoproteins, you'd think, would be plentiful after ingesting a large quantity of fat, since fat must be absorbed via chylomicrons into the bloodstream. But it's carbohydrates that figure most prominently in determining the pattern and magnitude of postprandial triglycerides and lipoproteins. Much of this effect develops by way of de novo lipogenesis, the generation of new lipoproteins like VLDL after carbohydrate ingestion.

The link between saturated fats & heart health was based on faulty science & has been disproven. Dietary fat, whether saturated or not, is not a cause of obesity, heart disease, or any other chronic disease. Through their direct effects on insulin & blood sugar, refined carbohydrates, starches & sugars are the dietary cause of coronary heart disease & diabetes.

choose any of these good low fat breakfasts
make sure u have egg whtes to avoid fat and cholestrol if u want bacon make sure its low fat turkey bacon but i would skip the bacon



Bacon is extremely unhealthy, switch to ham.
http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php

I make my own cereal out of about 20 different grains. Or I do a ham scramble out of diced ham, red onion, mushrooms, cheese, salsa, avocado, one small red potato, & one egg.



Bacon isnt the best... and eggs are fattening so egg whites should be used. Cheese too is fattening unless its cottage or feta cheese. So no its not a good breakfast for weight loss



It's a good daily breakfast if you'd like to have a heart attack.
