I'm currently eating around 24 whole eggs a day (yes, 24), following closely to Vince Gironda's bodybuilding teachings, and have become noticeably leaner, stronger, and more energetic in the 2 weeks I've been at it. From what I understand, the cholesterol in eggs should not effect blood cholesterol levels, though I'm not certain if that's fully true. So far, I'm really liking it and haven't felt this good in general in a LONG time, but if my posts here just abrubtly quit in a few weeks, it's probably safe to assume I've dropped dead from a heart attack and not take egg eating to such a wild extreme.
As food for thought though, has anyone out there ever heard of any people in history who primarily lived off of protein and (natural) fat (ie no processed junk, minimal starchy carbs, and fruit/veggies when available- their main food source being fatty meat/fish, such as Native Americans, Eskimos, etc) dropping dead left and right of heart attacks, or having obesity problems when that was generally their ONLY source of nutrition? Ie, before McDonalds took over their countries?
