“I’m told I look 10 years younger and I definitely feel it too,” Ross, an IT manager said.
The Edinburgh-based man had tried and failed several crash diets in the past as he wanted to lose weight after being told he had high cholesterol and blood pressure in August 2021.
At the time Ross would indulge in sugary breakfasts, consisting of a syrup latte and pastries, which would actually leave him hungry.
“I would needed to snack on chocolate or crisps by 11am, which totally threw me off for the rest of the day,” he explained.
After switching the processed brekies with three eggs he started feeling “more full” throughout the day and was “less likely to crave snacks and junk food,” he explained.
Eggs are rich in protein with which has a multitude of benefits, not least that it can keep you full which can help with weight loss.
There’s even research to show how eating eggs for breakfast could help limit your calorie intake throughout the day by more than 400 calories.
This healthier lifestyle triggered small weight-loss results which gave Ross the momentum he needed to make more changes, like going to the gym.
Since his weight-loss journey began, Ross has discovered a “new found passion for fitness and all-round healthy living,” he said.
“As for the rest of meals, I just make smart choices and limit junk foods to very special occasions,” he added.
