Can eggs make you gain weight???

[kerbear]

Hi there,
I just wanted to know if eggs could be causing me to gain weight.
I started atkins just over a month ago & only just started to include eggs over the last week & a half. I was losing weight daily, even if it was just a little bit, and now since i have started to have Eggs i have stopped losing all together. infact Now i have gained 2.2lbs

I have measured & unfortunately have lost no inches either Has anyone else had any problems with eggs?

Eggs are a fairly common allergen, so it's possible. Cut them out and see if it makes a difference.

Keep in mind that our bodies are "allergic" to certain foods. Not in the traditional sense but in the way that just means that it can't tolerate them, or metabolize them properly. I agree, try cutting them out and see what happens. My body can handle cheeses and cream cheese but not heavy cream (so so so sad ) but it stalls me. So even though it's allowed, it's not for me.

Possible...but keep in mind that it also could be what you are adding to the eggs. Not necessarily an allergy to the other things but maybe too much over all. Just a thought.
