Hey guys, real quick. I have a new healthy keto eating plan for you. Just go to Dr. berg.com. It's right on the front page. I put a link down below. Download it, it's free.

I want to talk about why I consume four eggs every single day. I did a seminar at Exxon many years ago. And I noticed they didn't invite me back.
I called him up. I said, Why can't I come back and do another seminar because I do a seminar series. And they said, well, you're recommending 45 eggs a day? I said no, no, I didn't say 45 eggs a day. I said four to five eggs a day, okay. And they go Ah, okay, yeah, you can come back. But generally I will eat four eggs, and sometimes only eat five eggs per day. Now, of course, those eggs are not consumed at breakfast, they're actually at my first meal right around one or even two, sometimes three o'clock in the afternoon. So one of the key reasons that I consume eggs on a regular basis, not only do I enjoy it, but eggs have the greatest anabolic effect.
Okay,
anabolic means that it's turning into muscle protein or other protein. So it's building more protein in the body. I have a little scale here that shows these percentages and the type of protein. So egg 48% of it actually turns into body tissue and I'm not talking about even absorption. I'm talking about 40% of that egg actually turns into your body tissue. And that's pretty much the highest not counting breast milk. Unless you're a baby you're not gonna be able to get it. Now when we take meat fish file that's 32%. Okay, much less. An egg white is 17% which is fascinating because that cholesterol and fat actually help an anabolic effect. Look at soy only 17% it might be high end amino acids, but it does not turn into body tissue that well, dairy whey this would be like cheese and whey 16%, very small spirulina 6%. So if we take four eggs, it comes down to 24 grams of protein, times point four, eight. So 11.52 grams are actually turning in the body tissue. Look at me 24 grams, only 7.68 grams of it is actually turning in the body tissue. So you're gonna have to consume more meat to get the same efficiency as for eggs. Okay, dairy is only 3.48 grams, actually turning into body tissue. So you can see that you would have to consume a lot more dairy to create this effect. So eggs are very efficient in turning in the body tissue. Not only that, they're very high in nutrients. They pretty much have every single vitamin and mineral except vitamin C, loaded with B vitamins coline healthy fats, which is right here. So it has gha EPA, it has a lot of carotenoids, which is good for the eye, prevent macular degeneration. It has Coleen, which helps prevent a fatty liver and helps your nervous system. Now if there's any consideration in your mind that eating eggs will increase your cholesterol, realize that there is absolutely no data that will increase your so called bad cholesterol, LDL, it will increase your good cholesterol, HDL. So it is not bad for the heart, so you don't have to worry about that. So anyway, I just wanted to point this out, and recommend that you also get pasture raised organic eggs a little bit more expensive, but it's definitely worth it.
Thanks for watching.
