Coffee Break with Liz and Kate

Betcha didn’t know…

how to fight fat with a whole egg.  Say goodbye to that old diet standby, the egg white, and welcome back the yolk.  Turns out egg yolks are loaded with lecithin, a fatlike substance produced in the liver that helps block fat storage, and the B vitamon chlorine, which raises your metabolism.  No wonder that, in one study, folks who enjoyed two whole eggs for breakfast lost twice as much weight and had an 83% greater decrease in waist size compared to those eating a bagel with the same amount of calories! Bonus: Egg yolks are packed with so many essential vitamins and nutrients that enjoying two a day is better than taking a multivitamin, experts say.

Concerned about cholesterol? Multiple studies show that regularly eating two eggs a day does not affect a person’s cholesterol.
