Bodybuilder slams fitness 'buffoons' who make one key mistake with diet

A bodybuilder has shared the secret behind his muscly body – and it's not consuming a load of protein shakes. Eddie Abbew prefers to get his protein in a more natural way – so guzzles down at least 10 eggs per day. He was turned onto the food after being recommended them by the former British body building champion Johnny Fuller and has acted on the advice for nearly 40 years.
Now sharing his slightly bizarre daily diet to his more than 1.2 million followers Abbew has made a name for himself as an egg advocate. Taking to TikTok, he slammed those who rely on whey products instead of just eating eggs. He said: "What I learnt about eggs is this, an egg is nutrient dense. It's got every vitamin in there apart from vitamin C. Now in the fitness industry you get these buffoons who tell you about whey protein. Don't eat whey protein eat eggs and meat.".
"Eggs are the best protein on the planet, your body can absorb it, your body can recognise it, whey is not food." before telling his finds to "wake the f*** up" and eat more eggs. Before you get the hot water on and boil a dozen for your dinner, some dieticians have warned of possible negative effects of excessive egg eating. A study by Northwestern University collected data from six US studies, and involving 29,615 people showed that people who eat more eggs have a higher risk of heart disease and death.
Commenting on the research Victoria Taylor, senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation advocated for a more balanced approach: “There has been much debate about the role of eggs in relation to heart and circulatory disease. This study suggests that people who ate more eggs were at a greater risk of heart disease because of the cholesterol in them.
