Eggology Egg Whites Are The Perfect Ingredient in a Successful Weight Loss Plan

Eggology egg whites are one of the healthiest, tastiest, and most convenient foods for on-the-go people looking to stay healthy, feel good and lose some weight.

-----------------
Liquid egg whites made by Eggology - the leader in the all-natural egg white industry – is an essential element to a successful weight loss plan. With bikini season here, beachgoers are starting to consider their options for healthy weight loss plans. One of the best ways to lose excess fat is to cut down calorie-intake each day by eating leaner and less processed foods. Eggology’s organic and fresh egg whites have been popular among celebrities and bodybuilders for years, and it’s no secret that average consumers can start losing weight and getting toned by incorporating Eggology egg whites into their everyday diet.

What makes Eggology egg whites an essential component to a successful weight loss regime? Brad Halpern, founder of Eggology, informs us that “the high protein content in the liquid egg whites help sustain the feeling of ‘fullness’ for longer, while the low-calorie count in the egg whites insure the healthiness of each serving, and the freshness of the egg whites will make the body feel more energetic”. Mr. Halpern suggests substituting in egg whites as a snack or part of a meal instead of eating something that may be high in carbohydrates and/or fat. He adds that “Eggology egg whites are safe to enjoy raw – in a shake or alone – because our egg whites must meet a strict USDA inspection process”.

Eggology makes it even easier to have fresh scrambled egg whites any time of day with their line of On-The-Go liquid egg whites that come in a microwave safe cup – in about 95 seconds you can enjoy fluffy, hot egg whites – a convenient way to have a high protein meal or snack. Recently, Good Housekeeping magazine featured Eggology On-The-Go as a Best Breakfast Convenience Food and Prevention magazine touted it as a great low-carb grab-and-go option.

Eggology egg whites are pure liquid egg whites with no preservatives or fillers, are packed with protein, and contain no cholesterol or fat. Available in On-The-Go cups or packaged in environmentally-friendly plastic bottles. Find Eggology at a store near you or order online.

Egg Whites Can Get Your Body Bikini-Ready For Summer!

Researchers have been able to connect eating egg whites to weight loss. According to an article from health.com, a study from Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, found that overweight women who eat egg breakfasts lose twice as much weight as women who start their days with bagels".

This phenomenon can be attributed to the high protein factor in egg whites that allows for you to feel fuller for longer. Longer sustainability of satisfaction will prevent you from craving for more to eat throughout the day, which will lower your daily calorie-intake.

Most importantly, it is always a good idea to eat the most fresh and organic egg whites you can find. There are many health risks with consuming raw egg whites, so it is especially crucial to know what's inside your egg whites--aka, no chemicals and artificial preservatives.

Eating healthy and looking good? I'm on my way to my summer bikini bod!

Ernestine Shepherd Knows How to Eggcite Her Eggcercisers!

A few months ago, we shined the spotlight on one of our own long-time devoted customers, Ernestine Shepherd. We caught up with her recently to learn what she's been up to lately. True to form, Ernestine Shepherd has been busy inspiring senior citizens in Baltimore, Maryland to participate in weekly bodybuilding exercises at the local church.

Ernestine's rigorous exercise routine has been a source of inspiration for other senior citizens who wish to be more fit and look more toned. "Some people feel that they can't come into the exercise class because they fear that someone will laugh at them. I reach out to these people to let them know that they too, can exercise" Ernestine says of her students.

"This is how Michelle Obama gets her biceps looking good." Ernestine urges her class of eager exercisers as she coaches them through a set of bicep curls.

At 72, Ernestine Sheperd runs 80 miles a week and lifts weights daily. She has won multiple awards and even first place at a bodybuilding competition. To stay in shape, Ernestine has been faithfully ordering Eggology Egg Whites for the past 7 years--incorporating them into her diet three times every day. "I swear by Eggology Egg Whites!" Ernestine says.

"When you look at her, and you look at yourself...you are inspired to work a little harder!" one of Ernestine's student exclaims.

It may not be possible for everyone to be able to look like Ernestine Shepherd, especially at age 72. But Ernestine's spirit and welcoming attitude definitely inspires me to get off the couch and go out for a jog, maybe even a 5k! It does not hurt to eat healthy and organic either.

Anytime you talk about body building, you will almost always hear "if you want this, you have to do that" but if you start inquiring a little deeper, you'll find that most people don't know the WHY of what they are telling you. I am super inquisitive by nature and I don't like people to tell me the should's without telling me the whys, so as I was investigating some of the tips that I heard floating around the gym today, I stumbled across a very interesting article on bodybuilding.com that talks about the Top 10 Secrets to Amplify Your Fat Loss Potential.

I really liked the article because it gave you not only WHAT you should do, but WHY you should do it. In an egg shell, these are the top 10 Secrets they discuss:

  1. Consume 5 to 6 meals a day
  2. Consume protein rich food sources at each meal to boost your metabolism
  3. Eat carbs with a low glycemic index
  4. Limit the consumption of fructose-rich foods to the morning
  5. Perform high intensity weight training to lose fat
  6. Perform aerobics in the morning on an empty stomach
  7. Take a powerful fat burner before your aerobic session
  8. Drink plenty of water during the day to boost your metabolism
  9. Supplement your diet with calcium
  10. Get a good and restful nights sleep to trim down
Speaking of sleep, I'm going to do my part to "trim down" and sign off for the night! The article is worth reading through, as it offers some really interesting insight and science behind the tips, along with some cool tools to track your progress!

Eggology Makes Kookie Krazy Cookies Safe to Eat RAW!

Ever since I was a kid, my favorite part of making cookies was eating the dough! I never really thought of eating uncooked cookie dough as being a big risk, but of course, concerns were brought to light due to salmonella found in raw eggs. Of course those that are familiar with Eggology know that we offer the ultimate in food safety to ensure that our eggs are safe to eat RAW! As a safeguard for consumers who use EGGOLOGY egg whites in raw form, we repeatedly test for salmonella, listeria, ecoli, TPC, along with a wide array of other harmful bacteria. While the USDA minimum requirement for testing is 1 in every 8 production days, EGGOLOGY egg whites and our other egg products are tested repeatedly everyday to insure absolute safety.

When Mark Bernhardt and James Kelley came up with a fun idea for a new business, of course they came to Eggology to provide them with the perfect egg white-offering a safe and delicious way for people to enjoy cookie dough!

Kookie Krazy Inc. in Thousand Oaks, California is THE store to visit to treat your sweet cravings. Their motto is "You Make 'Em, We Bake 'Em!" They created a magical place where customers make their own over sized cookies. You pick one of seven flavors of cookie dough, choose three of their 40 additions from their add in's selection, mix it all together and let Mark and James do the cooking for you. As if that wasn't enough, they have a toppings bar to make their delicious cookies even better-you can add chocolate syrup, ice cream or even gummy bears on top of your cookie! Think ""Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory"-where kids and adults alike can have a blast making their dream dessert!

Of course, my favorite item is their raw dough, which they sell by the cup-safe to eat raw, thanks to Eggology! Next time you are in Thousand Oaks, be sure to swing by and enjoy some cookies and some dough!

Can't make it to their store! Make your own cookie dough at home using Eggology Egg Whites, and eat the dough until your hearts content! Oh, and one final tip for chocolate chip cookie dough, scoop some dough into a coffee mug...heat the dough up ever so slightly in the microwave-just until the chocolate chips melt a little, and then enjoy-it's sooo delicious!

Ask The Eggspert: How Can I Know My Liquid Egg Whites are Safe?

Question: Are any liquid egg whites safe to eat or drink raw? What is the necessity of pasteurizing egg whites?

Answer: Did you know that Eggology egg whites are the only liquid egg whites safe to consume raw? Who consumes raw egg whites? You'd be surprised! Most of us have an image of bodybuilders drinking down a glass of liquid-y egg whites but raw egg whites can be found in other food items such as royal icing (read about royal icing and see recipe that we blogged about in December), in smoothies, in cheesecake, even in cocktails!

Eggology liquid egg whites are popular among bodybuilders and also utilized by chefs, hotels, restaurants, moms and dads because Eggology egg whites are the only egg whites safe to enjoy raw or cooked! Eggology egg whites are pasteurized and follow a strict USDA inspection process for the safety of our consumers.

Many people are unaware that pasteurization does more than kill the bacteria in an egg. A posting from the forum of EliteFitness.com egg-splains how a non-pasteurized egg/egg white can be potentially a carrier of bacteria and salmonella but also that your body cannot utilize the protein in the egg white until it is pasteurized. Before pasteurization (which is heating the egg/eggwhite enough to kill the bacteria), the egg contains a glycoprotein called avidin. Avidin blocks the uptake of Vitamin B6 and Vitamin H (Biotin) causing a vitamin deficiency. Pasteurizing the egg white neutralizes the Avidin and allows your body to safely digest the protein and utilize all its amino acids.

Eggology egg whites are not only the smartest choice for purity, freshness and taste - they are the smartest liquid egg white choice for safety too. Find out more about Eggology egg whites on our FAQs page.

Tweet! Tweet! Eggology Featured in Los Angeles Business Journal

A long, long time ago, a little bird came to us and told us a big secret. The secret was that everyone is Twittering and to stay connected to our customers and fans, than we too must be Twittering. Twittering, we thought, what exactly is that? Sending messages ("tweets"!) out to our customers and fans ("followers") in 140 characters or less. Sounds challenging as we are usually wordy!

Nonetheless, we did create a Twitter account for Eggology and now have almost 600 followers. We have used Twitter to enlighten our audience about the latest Eggology egg white product, the hottest Eggology recipe, the coolest Eggology promotions and other fun things that we like and feel are valuable such as food safety issues or exercise/bodybuilding tips.

Interestingly enough, it seems that other companies are on board with Twitter and just recently the Los Angeles Business Journal (LABusinessJournal.com) did an article about the explosion of social media, such as Twitter, and how businesses are using it to get the word out to their customers. Having followed our Tweets on Twitter, the LA Business Journal called our own Brad Halpern, Chief Eggsecutive and Twitterer, to ask about his thoughts on Twittering and business. In more than 140 characters, Brad explained how he personally updates his company’s Twitter feed rather than delegating to an employee. This is what makes Twitter all that it is cracked up to be - we get to hear it straight from the heart of the source - in no more than 140 characters! Twitter-rific!

Don't miss out - follow Eggology on Twitter today (@Eggology)!
