Who Should Try the Keto Egg Fast?
This plan is best for people who:
- have hit a weight loss plateau on keto
- want a short-term reset
- are already eating low carb and want faster results
It’s not ideal as a long-term diet or for beginners just starting keto.
What Is a Keto Egg Fast?
On the Keto Egg Fast, or as some like to call it the egg diet, you are consuming eggs, butter (or other pure and healthy fat like olive oil or coconut oil), and cheese, with a few exceptions for low carb condiments like hot sauce, mustard, etc.
The keto egg fast plan rules are to eat 1 tablespoon of fat for each egg consumed and up to one ounce of cheese for each egg consumed. It is normal to eat 6 – 10 eggs per day, but if you are a man or especially active, you might eat even more to ensure you are getting enough protein and calories.
I would say you need a minimum of 4 – 6 eggs per day along with the corresponding 1 tablespoon of fat and up to 6 ounces of cheese per day.
This is NOT a calorie reduction diet – which might seem counter-intuitive, but it works similarly to a typical high fat, moderate protein, ketogenic diet whereby you use fat for fuel in the absence of carbs.
The egg fast plan is very restrictive and so is usually considered a short term plan. It’s not recommended to do it long term, because you will be robbing your body of other essential nutrients if you only eat eggs, fats, and cheese for too long.
Scroll down or use the link in the table of contents to go directly to the egg fast plan.
Before I go any further I should make it clear that I am not a doctor, nurse, or even a nutritionist. This is just me telling you what I’ve done, what the results were, and what my opinions are regarding the egg fast diet and why it works for many people.
It may or not be for you – and only you can make that decision. If you have previously existing health conditions, it’s probably wise to consult with your doctor before undertaking an extremely low carb plan like this one.
If you start and are really feeling poorly (beyond the typical keto flu side effects) – don’t ignore any danger signs or red flags – stop immediately. It’s not worth risking your life over – if your body doesn’t respond well to this, I’m sure there are other things that will work for you – keep experimenting until you find “your” thing.
How Does the Keto Egg Fast Work?
So I did some additional research this week to try and figure out why this keto egg fast plan works, and it seems that egg yolks are extremely high in Choline, which as it turns out is critical to our liver being able to metabolize fat.
In fact, when Choline is deficient (as it is in much of the modern US population), it can lead to Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease – which means your liver may struggle to metabolize fat efficiently.
Also important to helping your liver metabolize fat are Casein (present in cheese and other dairy products) and an amino acid called Methionine. Guess what food has the highest amount of methionine in it? Egg whites! So between the massive amounts of Choline in the yolks, and the bounty of Methionine in the whites, eggs are pretty much the perfect liver food – add some Casein in the form of cheese, and you’re in business!
And by the way, this trifecta of liver superstars are pretty much cancelled out in the presence of excess glucose from food or alcohol – which an egg fast plan also eliminates. Genius.
So there it is. My theory on one reason the Egg Fast Diet works so well is that it gives your liver everything it needs (and cuts out everything it doesn’t) to start cleaning house! So whether you plan to undertake an egg fast or not, if you’re having trouble losing weight – especially on a ketogenic low carb diet, then you should seriously consider upping your intake by a couple of eggs per day to your eating plan!
How to Transition Off the Egg Fast
Based on my anecdotal research, it seems that the people who continue to eat 2 meals of eggs the first couple of days off the plan have the best success at not gaining any weight back after an egg fast. For that reason, I recommend eggs for breakfast and lunch on the 2 days off plan while you’re transitioning back to a regular keto diet.
This egg fast plan is not the only way to go about the keto egg fast diet – it’s just one suggestion as to how you might structure your week. There are 5 days on the egg fast plan and two days of transition to come off the plan – hopefully without gaining all the weight back.
Here are a few notes on why I put this keto egg fast diet menu plan together the way I did:
I know that if you’ve been following IBIH and have seen the yummy egg fast recipes I’ve been posting lately, that you’re thinking “bring on the snickerdoodle crepes and fettuccini alfredo” on Day One! NO.
The first and second day of the keto egg fast plan are when you will be most likely able to tolerate eggs in their basic form. By day 3 you will be getting sick of them, by day 4 you will probably eat less simply because the idea of eating another egg makes you want to hurl, by day 5 you will wish no chicken on the planet would ever lay another egg EVER, and I can pretty much guarantee that you will be seriously miffed at eggs in general, yourself for ever thinking an egg fast was a good idea, probably me for suggesting it, and every poor, pathetic soul who crosses your path. (Or maybe that was just me.)
Seriously though, you need to trust that by Day 3 you’ll be looking forward to eating at least one meal a day that doesn’t feel like eggs. We’re saving the best til last – you’re going to need it to get through this if you’re doing all five days of this egg fast plan.
Now if you’re only doing 3 days, feel free to skip day 1 and 2 and start on Day 3 of the plan. Or mix and match days to your own preference – just don’t say I didn’t warn you, and be sure not to overeat the cheese or skimp on the butter/mayo/other fats. Remember 1 egg – 1 Tbsp fat – UP TO (but I recommend less) 1 oz cheese per egg.

Meal Prep List
Notes: Most of these recipes in this egg fast plan are easy and quick to prepare, and taste best when made fresh just before eating. The few exceptions are listed below for you to make ahead. The Fettuccini Alfredo and Buffalo Omelette are best made right before serving.
- Make 1 batch of Simple Egg Salad
- Make 1 batch of Easy Deviled Eggs
- Make 2 batches of Salted Caramel Custard on the evening of Day 3 so that they are chilled and ready to go by Day 4 and Day 5 when you’ll be eating them.
- Make 1 batch of Cream Cheese Pancakes to have on hand for Day 3 lunch that uses one, and the others as a backup for when you need something quick and don’t have time to cook.

Keto Egg Fast FAQ
Here are the most common questions about the keto egg fast and how it works:
How Much Weight Can You Lose on an Egg Fast?
Typically people will lose between 5 – 7 pounds on the keto egg diet. Some will lose, more and some may lose less. If you transition into a regular keto diet after the egg fast you shouldn’t gain much if any back, and will continue to lose weight – just at a slower pace.
If you jump straight back into eating lots of carbs, the glucose will immediately cause your body to retain water and the scale will show it. Still, unless you are really over-eating calories, you should maintain some weight loss from the egg fast even then.
Can You Have Heavy Cream on an Egg Fast?
No. This plan doesn’t use heavy whipping cream. If you want to risk it and can’t stand to drink your coffee any other way, then go ahead and try it – if you’re not losing weight, the first thing to go should be the HWC and see if that makes a difference. If you do it with HWC and lose a bunch of weight, please let us know in the comments so others will know it’s possible.
Do You Need to Be in Ketosis Before Starting an Egg Fast?
You don’t need to be in ketosis already to do the egg fast, but it will be easier if you are. The detox symptoms of getting into ketosis can be rough already on first timers – doing something as extremely low carb as the egg fast right off the bat will be much harder.
I recommend easing into the egg fast plan with my 3 Day Keto Kickstart Plan if you’re a complete newbie to any low carb plan. If you’re really desperate to get started on the egg fast though – go ahead and give it a shot, you’ve been warned.
Can You Eat Vegetables on the Egg Fast Plan?
This is a late addition to the FAQ’s based on the comments. The answer is NO. That being said, if you want to experiment with a handful of spinach here, a few romaine leaves there, some chopped onions and peppers thrown into your eggs, etc. then that is completely up to you, and you might still have great results.
I’m not the boss of you and neither is this egg fast plan.
Here’s the problem – looking for loopholes and making eggceptions (sorry, couldn’t help myself and I should get credit for holding out this long with no egg puns by the way – it wasn’t easy, ya know!) with a little of this and a little of that is a slippery slope. If you want to do the egg fast plan the way it was intended by the originators – you don’t eat any fruits or vegetables. The end.
Why Isn’t There Nutrition Info for This Keto Plan?
Each person will eat a different amount, making it hard to calculate for this keto menu plan. Also, egg fasting is hard enough without trying to calculate everything that goes into your mouth. Focus on eating until you’re full and no more. That may even mean eating more than this egg fast plan calls for – especially in the first couple of days.
You’ll find that you’ll eat a lot less as the week continues – you won’t need to worry about the calories. Also I lost the most on the days that I ate the most calories – when you start to restrict calories in order to maximize the results, I think it can actually have the opposite effect. All the nutrition info is available for the recipes in those posts, if you really must know you can easily figure it out on your own based on the quantities you are actually eating.
Where Can I Get Support During an Egg Fast?
In addition to posting questions and your progress here in the comments, you can join our IBIH Egg Fast Group on Facebook to get support and encouragement from others doing the egg fast plan!
Can You Repeat the Same Meals on this Plan?
Sure, go nuts.
Can You Drink Alcohol on an Egg Fast?
No. Alcohol impedes liver function and you need your liver focused on metabolizing your fat – otherwise what’s the point of putting yourself through this egg fast plan?
Can You Drink Coffee during an Egg Fast?
YES. You can drink black coffee or bulletproof coffee on the egg fast plan. As mentioned above, heavy whipping cream is not allowed, so the best way to get a creamy egg fast coffee is to make bulletproof coffee.
If you have never heard of it, bulletproof coffee is coffee made with MCT oil (or coconut oil), and grassfed unsalted butter. It has thermogenic (fat burning) properties, and gives you ridiculous amounts of energy. Plus it tastes amazing.
How do you make bulletproof coffee?
Combine 6-8 ounces of coffee with 1 Tbsp unsalted butter (I use Kerrygold), and 1 Tbsp of MCT oil (coconut oil works if you can’t get MCT oil). You can also add sugar free sweetener – I make Mr. Hungry’s with Splenda (he prefers it) and cinnamon – it’s yummy.
The key to good BPC is that you emulsify it. I use this battery-powered, hand-held frother thingy and it works great. Others make it in a magic bullet or blender and blend for 20 seconds or so. You can’t just stir it in with a spoon or you’ll have a gross oil slick on top. Ewww.
Try bulletproof – you’ll never want to go back to heavy cream again – or at least we didn’t!
What can you drink while on the plan?
Water – and lots of it! Aim for 100 ounces per day.
Can You Drink Diet Soda on an Egg Fast?
Diet soda is inherently unhealthy for you. However, I did have a few Diet Cokes while on the egg fast plan. It helped clear my palate and made me not want to kill myself when we were at people’s homes and everyone else was eating and drinking things I wished I was having. Limit it to special occasions though if possible. If it makes the difference between staying on the plan or giving up – a diet soda might be worth it. I also had some sweetener free sparkling water while on the plan, which helped break the monotony. Make sure you’re getting most of your liquid from regular water though and avoid the diet sodas if you can.
Should You Take Supplements on an Egg Fast?
If you’re already taking vitamins or supplements, continue as long as they are mostly sugar free. Don’t stop taking any medications! If you aren’t already supplementing with magnesium and potassium (lite salt added to your food works best), then you should start. Be sure to get plenty of sodium as well. These three things will help you avoid getting cramps, headaches, and help regulate your fluids to avoid lightheadedness, heart palpitations, etc. as you release any retained water (which you should be drinking A LOT of) during the fast.
How Do You Stay Regular on an Egg Fast?
Magnesium is a mild laxative and will help with constipation if you’re supplementing (as you should be.) As a side bonus, magnesium helps you sleep so the best time to take it is typically about an hour or two before bedtime.
In addition, because you are eating so much fat, it should help keep things running smoothly. Bulletproof coffee is your friend.
What Fats Can You Eat on an Egg Fast?
Any full fat, less than 1g net carb per ounce type of cheese should be ok. (cream cheese, mascarpone, cheddar, mozzarella, brie, monterrey jack, etc.)
Aim to avoid vegetable oils and highly processed fats and stick to healthier fats like grass-fed butter, avocado oil, olive oil, bacon grease, duck fat, etc.
That being said, I love Duke’s mayonnaise with my eggs and it’s something I’m not giving up without a fight.
Can You Do an Egg Fast Without Dairy?
Yes – but most of my egg fast recipes will not work for you. You’ll have to stick to eggs and another pure fat like olive oil or coconut oil. It will be monotonous but you can still get results. Cheese substitutes made with nuts or soy are not recommended – but you can always try it and see what happens.
Can Eating Too Many Eggs Cause Intolerance?
Allergies can come on at any time and any age – but they are not caused by overeating a certain food. You may notice an intolerance that wasn’t obvious previously if you start eating more of something you already have an issue with. If eggs make you feel funny, stop eating them for sure and see an allergist to get tested.
Will an Egg Fast Raise Your Cholesterol?
There is a lot of research out there about the effects of a high fat keto diet on your cholesterol – way too much to go into detail here. The short answer is no – not the bad cholesterol anyway.
Eggs were long vilified because they contain cholesterol, but the theory of dietary cholesterol increasing your blood cholesterol has been debunked.
If you are concerned, I recommend doing some research on dietary cholesterol.
Will an Egg Fast Make You Hate Eggs?
I can’t say for sure that it won’t happen, but it’s unlikely. I couldn’t stand the thought of another egg by Day five. Had two fried eggs with butter this morning – still delicious. The plan is designed to keep you from getting sick of eggs by varying the form that you eat them in and mixing up sweet and savory.
I think you’ll be ok. If you already love eggs, then you might be looking forward to some variety by the end of the fast, but you’ll be back to enjoying them again soon after. That being said, if you hate eggs forever after doing this plan, I take no responsibility – you knew the risks.

The amino acids could change the chemistry of how the diet works but it’s hard to say. I guess try it and see how you do.
Severine says
Hi Mellissa! Thank you for your kind reply!
I decided not to break my fast with BCAA following a thorough research and study. (mostly watching DeLauer and Dr. Berg’s YouTube, LOL).
Just want to say that this particular article and menu for egg plan is like a bible to me whenever I fell out of ketosis as a result of unplanned weekends failure :).
Thank you so much!
Gala says
Mellissa, can I do the egg fast for three weeks??
I have been on it for 8 days now. I have lost 8 lbs. in two more weeks I think I will eat the Keto soups on your link.
Dianna says
Hi there! I just finished the 5-day egg fast and the two transition days. Wow – it wasn’t easy by any means, but it wasn’t exactly torture, either! It is all about discipline and mind over matter. The hardest part for me was when I hit the dreaded “keto flu” on days 3-4. I had gone through this “flu” previously, so I recognized that it was that vs. a reaction to the food. I should also add that I might have had a slight advantage on this plan, as I love, love, LOVE eggs. And while I am not currently on a ketogenic diet, I was on one for over a year, so I am familiar with how it works. So, here is the breakdown of my experience:
DAY 1: Followed the meal plan exactly with no issues at all. Drank 3 liters of water. Did a 45-minute low-impact HIIT workout and energy levels were just fine.
DAY 2: Ditto from Day 1 comments, but did a 30-minute HIIT workout, instead of 45. Drank 3 liters of water. Also dropped about 1 lb.
DAY 3: Followed the meal plan exactly, but struggled a little to get it all down. The day started out fine and that “ok” feeling lasted through the afternoon. Drank 2.5 liters of water. Dropped another pound. That evening, I became lethargic, had some body aches, and a mild to moderate headache. Did a simple yoga/stretch workout, due to having no energy. Went to bed early and slept like the dead.
DAY 4: Tried to follow the meal plan, but couldn’t get all of the food down. Keto flu was in full force and I couldn’t stomach all of the eggs. Didn’t cheat and eat other foods; just didn’t eat the full portions of all of the meals on the plan. Backed off the water a bit due to the keto flu (drank about 2 liters, with salt added). Dropped ½ a pound.
DAY 5: Ugh – the thought of eggs was making me wretch. But…I ate what I could of the meals with no cheating and managed to drink about 2 liters of water. Good news is the keto flu had greatly subsided. Managed to do a 30-minute HIIT workout and things were fine. Dropped another pound.
DAY 6: Ahh…bliss! I don’t want to touch an egg or anything with egg in it, but I get to eat…CHICKEN WINGS and CELERY for dinner. And AVOCADOS for snacks! Yummmmm!!! This was my motivation to persevere and eat all of my egg-based meals. I did manage to eat everything, per the plan, with the exception of 7 chicken wings vs. 8 (I was soooo stuffed, but they were so tasty!) Drank about 2.5 liters of water and dropped another pound. Took a rest day from working out.
DAY 7: Pretty much the same story as Day 6. I ate my eggs for breakfast (though I didn’t want to) and drank about 2.5 liters of water. Did a 30-minute HIIT workout. Didn’t weight myself. Was thinking to myself that I while I love eggs, I didn’t plan to eat them for a long, long, long time.
NOTES:
• I loved most of the egg recipes and even at the times I couldn’t stomach another egg, I thought the recipes made things as tolerable as possible. I particularly enjoyed the fettuccini alfredo…YUM!
• I think the plan was very well thought out in terms of variety of flavors and textures of the egg-based meals. This certainly made it easier.
• This plan is probably much better for those that are already in ketosis. I knew this going in, but accepted the risk and did it anyway. I lived to tell about it, so it can be done.
• A funny thing happened this morning (1-day post-egg fast). I woke up and thought of what I wanted for breakfast. I know I had previously sworn that I would go on an egg embargo for a period of time. Nevertheless, you know what? I wanted a runny egg (cooked in olive oil) over a piece of gluten free toast with avocado. What was I thinking?! However, you know what, I ate it and it was DELICIOUS. Therefore, I am thinking that my aversion to eggs during the plan was all of the butter they had to be cooked in and the fat that needed to be added. That was what I was sick of – not the eggs themselves. Thank goodness for that…
• Thank you for putting this plan together! I lost 4.5 pounds and am kick-started back into a healthier way of eating (I had fallen off the health wagon for about 2 months and needed a kick in the pants).
Ruth Ann says
Hi,
I would like to try the egg fast but wondering I can pick one meal plan and follow that for all 7 days?
Mellissa Sevigny says
If you prefer to do it that way it shouldn’t affect your progress so sure.
Dianne says
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your site is absolutely priceless! Love the FB, Insta and Pintrest sites too. I think I can do this!
Lori lawrence says
hello, would like to know please: when i read up on jimmy moore, he eat 24 eggs per day, my question is: then did he consume 24 tablespoons of fat for that (besides the possible cheese). my question (to be clear ) is: if you eat 24 eggs a day, then do you eat 24 tablespoons of fat with it? i’m amazed because of the calorie count, but he lost weight, it just didn’t seem to make that issue crystal clear. Thank you so much for your time!! GOD BLESS! lori
Mellissa Sevigny says
I’m assuming so if he followed the rules but you’d have to ask him!
Nancy Smith says
I haven’t read through all the comments yet, but I just completed my 5th day of the egg fast using your plan as a guide. I had been ketogenic for 2 yrs and went a little crazy this The last week of July through Augustlast month for my bday and a visit with my dad after not getting to see him for a year and a half. I had gained 6lbs during that time.
Starting weight: 116.8
After Day 5: 110.8
My results are: I lost exactly 6 lbs!
I felt great every day and exercised (T25) 4 out of 5 of the days. My energy was great and I wasn’t feeling exceptionally hungry each day. My abs are showing, my quads are starting to push through (which I always struggle with)
Today is the morning of the 6th day and I feel horrible. Shaky, nauseous, dizzy, and I felt like I might puke because I still made myself eat an egg. I’m probably dehydrated and will drink lite salt in my water this morning and pay attention to my body. I’m not planning to lose any more weight, so I will ease back into ketosis and just use egg fasts to break stalls. I’m happy with the definition it allowed me to see in my quads.
marcelle says
Day 3 shows 1 cream cheese pancake. Did you mean one SERVING or just one pancake?
christy says
i also used hwc in my coffee and, once, in my scrambled eggs. also ate the pancakes with SF syrup. realized afterwards maybe this was a no-no on the egg fast? still lost 7 lbs. recipes were delish! pancakes were better than the real thing. trying the fettucini alfredo tonight and am excited! thanks!!
Ashley says
Can I put almond milk in my coffee?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Almond milk isn’t egg fast approved, but if you are using a small amount of unsweetened in your coffee then it may not affect your results that much.
Sandra D.M says
hi Mellissa, there´s no BulletProof coffee in my country, how can I replace it ? thanks
Mellissa Sevigny says
It’s coffee with butter or coconut oil – if you have coffee and butter you can make bulletproof coffee. Or you can just omit it.
Mandy says
Can I just say, you’re a genius!? Seriously, I LOVE eggs, I mean, LLLUUUUHHHHVVVV them. I wasn’t too scared about doing an egg fast because of that. But by the end of Day 3 I began to wonder why I ever did, then came the salted caramel custard. OM Goodness…amazing. And that had me totally looking forward to the fettuccine alfredo, which absolutely did not disappoint either. I’m down 10 pounds and can’t believe I’m on my last day. Thank you for making such creative recipes and food that TASTES good for a “diet” — You are a blessing! <3
