Well, I can not believe that I did it! 5 days on an Egg Fast and I can honestly say that it was not hard at all especially thanks to this Egg Fast Belgium Waffle Grilled Cheese recipe. I really think the trick to completing an egg fast is to have a variety of flavours and textures so that your taste buds don't get bored.
So, what are my final thoughts with regards to the egg fast?
Honestly, I really enjoyed it!
Here are the reasons I will absolutely repeat an egg fast:
- tasty and delicious recipes
- easy meal prep
- easy portable meals
- easy to digest food
- never felt bloated
- felt mildly hungry every so often but was definitely not starving at any point.
- decreased any cravings for sweets.
- definitely, felt significantly leaner with less fluid retention
- felt full of energy throughout the day without any fluctuations in my energy.
- did I mention the food was delicious?!:-)
Here are the things I did not like on the egg fast
- Nutritionally, I realized that I was not eating well-balanced meals
- ....That's it!
Overall, I think the egg fast is a great way to get your body into a state of ketosis and to help shed any excess water weight. As for any permanent weight loss? I think people will most likely gain 1-2 lbs after taking in some form of carbohydrates. Glycogen binds to water when it is stored. Since this egg fast depleted the glycogen stores in the body, it also allowed for a decrease in fluid retention. Once you start eating any sort of carb, you will replenish a little of your glycogen stores and hence, increase some fluid retention.
However, I feel that the egg fast helped me feel VERY satisfied in terms of fullness and it wasn't until Day #5 that I even thought about sweets. For those of you who know me, sweets are definitely my weak link so this lack of craving came as quite a shock.
Anyway, on to the final Egg Fast recipe!

I made this recipe using 2 full sized waffles and 1 oz each of cheddar and Swiss cheeses to make a big sandwich. I put it in my air fryer at 370 degrees for 5 or 6 minutes. It was crispy on the outside and the cheese was gooey on the inside. I cut it in half and shared with my hubby. Thanks for a solid lunch for Day 1 of the Egg fast.

I think it should work but I haven’t tried so I can’t say for sure. If you try it, let me know how they turn out!

Is it ok to use butter in place of the coconut oil?
Cat
Thank you for such a nice comment!

Oh, my, what a great recipe with a bit of garlic salt! I doubled the amount and cooked in my bigger 4 square Dash. I topped the first while the next one was cooking. It fit perfect in my air fryer. Thanks so much for this new meal!
