well that sounds bland i will give you that but i'm not sure it qualifies as a great diet eggs already have more or less the right protein to calories ratio so adding bread and butter to them would just slow weight loss i would just have 6 eggs and call it a meal and i would certainly have them soft boiled than hard boiled there is a difference between not adding sauce to a meal and deliberately ruining it to the point of being almost inedible 😄

Oh I wouldn't claim it was a great diet at all, but it worked. Also this was several years ago and I would do things differently now in the same situation. The bread is of course not essential but it made the meal seem more complete. I kept my diet bland for a couple of years until I was in the range I wanted to be, and there were many variations. For example, I would also use chicken and steamed vegetables for dinner. Or for breakfast, I would have granola, whey protein and yogurt with some jam -- it was certainly the case that fiber acted as an appetite suppressant. Not a great diet but it wasn't meant to be, it was just a means to an end.
