Fitness and cholesterol reduction
Many bodybuilders throw away the yolk and eat only the egg white. Perhaps in their minds, eating too much egg yolk has a bad effect on their health, and the high fat content of egg yolk will also make them fatter. So what is the reality? Fitness really can't eat egg yolk?

The bodybuilder named Logan challenged him. He decided to eat 84 whole eggs in 7 days to see if his body and cholesterol would change and be healthy!

Look at his diet at every meal. In addition to many eggs, there are meat rich in cholesterol and avocado rich in unsaturated fatty acids. The calorie intake is relatively high, which is a typical ketogenic diet pattern.

Before the challenge, his body fat rate was about 13%. During the challenge, how to exercise or how to practice these seven days!

This is the inspection report before and after he ate eggs. Let's see if eating so many eggs for seven days really raises cholesterol and affects cardiovascular health.

Total cholesterol increased from 175 to 205; Triglycerides did not change; HDL high density lipoprotein (called good cholesterol, the higher the better) rose from 89 to 97;

LDL low density lipoprotein (called bad cholesterol, the lower the better) rose from 79 to101; The ratio of LDL to HDL also increased slightly from 0.89 to 1.05. Although the rate has increased, it is still within the healthy range.

Therefore, we can infer that eating eggs does raise cholesterol, but from the ratio of LDL to HDL, it seems that it has little effect on bodybuilders. Of course, muscle men eat eggs like this, and LDL still exceeds the standard. It is not a wise choice to eat eggs on such a large scale if people with cholesterol absorption and utilization disorders.

This is his body shape after 7 days of challenge. Obviously, the fat loss of ketogenic diet is also obvious.

Summary: 1, eating foods with high cholesterol will not really make your cholesterol high, but it depends on the specific absorption and utilization. Maybe bodybuilders will absorb it better, but this is not to encourage you to eat eggs like this and listen to the advice of doctors and experts. 2. Eating high fat doesn't mean getting fat. After all, what makes you fat is not fat, but eating too many calories.
