Eggs are high in protein:
An egg is a nutrient-dense food. High protein content in eggs increases fullness and reduces appetite. Egg white is a first class protein that gets easily absorbed in the body. It contains the right ratio of all amino acids required by the body for maintenance and metabolism.

Hi,
I am having fatty liver for the past 15 years, can i follow Keto Egg diet?
Hi Ragu , fatty liver and keto is not the right combination. it will unnecessarily overload your liver. Anywayz your liver is not able to handle the fat and hence you have not recovered in 15 years . so lets not make it worse
I Would like to say thank you for the motivation and inspiration you are sharing here. As we all know you can lose weight by eating a healthy balance diet and try to be active in sports, walking, biking, swimming, etc for at least thirty minutes a day.
Best of luck on your fitness journey
