I've come to understand that every statement is technically incomplete. More than 5 eggs per week can be dangerous to health... If combined with a typical and recommended diet of high carbs and sugars. If what I understand is correct, carbs make your body store fat and sacrifice themselves as a preferred energy source for burning instead of the fat. So when you have a lot of that in your body, depriving it of fat reduces the amount of fat your body can store. Of course a much more effective and as I have come to experience, sustainable solution is to eat fat which satiates your hunger and reduce or eliminate carbs and sugar as much as possible. Few.
