In an interesting twist, Norwitz shared in his YouTube video that before starting this unusual experiment of consuming about 60 dozen eggs, he had hypothesized that it would not lead to an increase in his LDL (low-density lipoprotein), or bad cholesterol, by the end of the month. Can you picture consuming 700 eggs in just one month? It may sound unusual, but a Harvard medical student recently embarked on this odd experiment to examine the effects of a high-egg diet and its impact on cholesterol levels. Here's how his body responded to this 'egg-centric' regimen and everything you need to know about this unique study.
Nick Norwitz, a Harvard medical student, consumed around 700-720 eggs in a month to research the impact of a high-egg diet on his cholesterol levels. Contrary to popular belief, this diet surprisingly led to a 20 percent reduction in his LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, rather than increasing them as many would expect. In an interesting twist, Norwitz shared in his YouTube video that before starting this unusual experiment of consuming about 60 dozen eggs, he had hypothesized that it would not lead to an increase in his LDL (low-density lipoprotein), or bad cholesterol, by the end of the month.
In the experiment, which has garnered over 160,000 views on YouTube, Dr. Norwitz explained that he consumed the eggs alongside his regular ketogenic diet, which included meat, fish, olive oil, nuts, dark chocolate, cheese, and yogurt. A ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat .
