  No matter what version of the egg diet you're on to lose weight, always start breakfast with several eggs, absolute minimum of two, along with grapefruit, a low carb veggie, or else another lean protein of some type. Most versions of the egg diet are an Atkins-type low carb diet, but with an emphasis on eggs for protein instead of meat.
