In this insightful video, Dr. Eric Berg, a well-known advocate of healthy ketosis and intermittent fasting, dives into why he personally eats four eggs a day—and why you might want to consider doing the same.

🧬 Nutritional Powerhouse

Eggs are packed with essential nutrients, including:

• High-quality protein

• Choline (vital for brain health)

• Lecithin (supports liver function)

• Vitamins A, D, E, K2, and B-complex

• Omega-3 fatty acids

• Carotenoids (like lutein and zeaxanthin for eye health)

🐔 Quality Matters

Dr. Berg emphasizes the importance of choosing organic, pasture-raised eggs over conventional ones. The nutrition profile of an egg is heavily influenced by the chicken’s diet and living conditions.

🍳 Cooking Tips

To preserve nutrients:

• Opt for poached or over-easy eggs.

• Avoid overcooking, which can destroy carotenoids.

• If scrambling, do it gently and avoid high heat.

🕒 When to Eat

Interestingly, Dr. Berg doesn’t eat eggs for breakfast. Instead, he includes them in a late lunch as part of his intermittent fasting routine.
