Yes, they are.

One of the reasons why eggs are called "the perfect food"...

Whoever called them that ignored their near total lack
of carbohydrates. Must've been that Atkins hack.

There is no such thing as an "essential carbohydrate".

Your brain runs on complex carbohydrates. Cut down your
intake of them and you'll go stupid and sleepy.

Wrong.

Your brain runs on Glucose.

Your liver can make glucose out of fat and protein by a process called
"gluconeogenesis". It's not very efficient but it works, which is why
eating protein and fat instead of carbohydrates gives you a metabolic
advantage. Your body has to work harder to feed itself.

I'd suggest you do a bit of research. ;-)


And if you don't have them your liver puts you into a
state where you lose weight, both muscle and fat. It's
an illness, not a diet.

It helps you burn body fat.
That's the whole point!

As for being sleepy, only the first day or so. Once it gets going and a
good BMK level develops, I have more energy than ever!

High carb meals otoh, ALWAYS make me feel sleepy after eating them!


There are, however, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids and
essential vitamins and trace minerals that the body cannot create.

An egg is a very complete food.

Might have to do with the fact that it's an incubator for creating a
living animal, so it HAS to be.

A living chicken. So it might be complete, for a chicken.
If the chicken was an embryo. Which has very different
nutritional needs from an adult human.

No argument there. ;-) I'd never suggest someone try to live entirely on
eggs, but they are a good source of trace nutrients.
