By the way guys one thing I should have mentioned is that The standards for eggs here in Japan are way higher than countries like America, which is why I was comfortable eating so many of them raw. In fact there are many Japanese dishes that contain raw egg. Check the status of raw eggs in your country before you down 30 raw eggs a day 🥚
Shoutout to @junkfoodjapan (Nick Pettas) for joining me! Check out his channel for our discussion on Yakitori
In anticipation of Vince’s 80th birthday, John Balik organised an event to honour him and his life’s work, at the prestigious Ritz Carlton Hotel in Marina del Rey.
But sadly on October 18th 1997, Vince Gironda, the Iron Guru, passed away from suspected choking and heart failure.
ugh....🐥
This channel used to be awesome. Now it’s all about ego, plastering his face everywhere and a troubling dose of narcissism. I’m out
This.
whats your blood type?
Yes, here in brasil you would get a nasty infection really really fast eating raw eggs
The basic error was to change two things at the same time. It would have been way more informative to see what your regular training regiment combined with the egg diet would have yielded. The switch from crossfit to a sport that at it's core has the goal to make stronger/bigger would have resulted in muscular gains with almost any diet.
very true, can't tell that much from this
I was just about to say that
True, but we can still take away that the diet is fairly negligible in regards to health concerns. The extra protein, nutrients, and water would have helped build muscle during CrossFit too
Try doing the same with a vegan diet
I was thinking the same. The strength gains he noted could be attributed to the “novice effect” which lifters experience even with no changes to their diets, and he did mention that he hadn’t really done serious lifting before. So I feel like that kind of clouds the results
We've all been there...
One minute you're listening to the Huberman lab podcast...
The next, you're eating 800 eggs an hour
Haha and staring into the sun while sitting in an ice bath

This channel is a triumph of curiosity and the bold willingness to try anything to reach a new level. We salute you Joseph!
This guy is next level,
This guy's comes against the common conclusion in the science with his research .
I die eating for hís video
I work at a warehouse, every day we have free breakfast u have 3 options - Boiled eggs, nutella sandwitx or yogurt with fruits, every morning i eat 6 boiled eggs and 2 bananas while 90% of people eat nutella sandwitx, that breakfast gives me energy for over 6 hours of warehouse work lifting stuff and walking over 30k steps, when i was eating nutella sandwitx i was hungry and tired after 2'hours
what warehouse are you working at? 👁️

Great vid! Just a note that the Eggs Vince recommended were supposed to be Fertilized for the full steroid effect because these eggs contain high levels of Folistatin, which is a muscle growth signaling protein (suppresses Myostatin). Regardless, that many eggs will give anyone gains. Great experiment.
Your awesome too.
what does that mean 💀
@@ocoro174 Some balut 🤣
@@DiverDailey 😄
I can only imagine the eggs in his day were also not fed the atrocities they're fed here now. At least Joseph was in Japan, so he's probably not got as much to worry about regarding food quality.
Very interesting to see your labs- especially your LDL levels. Thank you for sticking through this difficult challenge!
It's in the video 😆
You don't know how to read very well, do you? @@koreeeyk
He said 'very interesting to see' which implies he saw it and found it interesting, not 'very interested to see' which would imply that he hadn't seen it but would like to...
Love this, super interesting and your dedication is off the charts! WIL has gotta be my favorite CZcams channel
Eggs, hands down, are one of the most nutritious foods on earth...It would have also been interesting to see what would happen if you just consumed the 30 eggs for 30 days with no other foods.
Eggs, whey, protein, fatty fish, beef (and liver), fermented vegitables, fermented dairy, lentils and quinoa are peak food.
Probably burnt out on eating eggs for a very long time.
Egg yolks (and honey) are the only things that are "designed" to be eaten by nature.
@@neolithictransitrevolution427 look up Natto, a couple ounces of Natto provides all the K2 you need for a week.
@@viive4107 All fruits are designed to be eaten. Grasses to, although not by humans.
Milk is up there.
Dude, this experiment was a bulk - you upped your calories, which will affect your strength weight and blood markers. This experiment isn’t useful if you don’t isolate the variable (raw eggs) you want to test. You can’t say how much of these effects are due to the increase in calories and what is caused by the eggs.
And the training??
OK dumumy eat ur ""calories"" in soy oil if you think it don't matter 😂
This is great. I've been waiting for this video. Appreciate all the work you put into it!
This was so much fun ! Thanks for sharing and always crushing it in my gym. It’s been a real pleasure to have you coming in. All I want to know is? What’s next ? I love how you really put yourself out there and am not afraid to use your body as an experiment.
Holy crap it's Nicholas Pettas! I remember seeing you on the news in Japan. Also, you're a legend in the martial arts world, of course. Time to click on your pic and follow you.
Thanks for helping him out.
Props to sticking this out, I'm sure there were some rough days haha. I was interested in seeing the results when you first announced this project, and to be honest the biggest surprise to me was how much the triglycerides went down.
@@kingsly3690 You will smell it... If it smells and tasts ok, you will be fine
Triglycerides come from carbs.
@@machinemaker2248 okay
They only get clogged there if you're eating to much carbs throughout the day, when you eat carbs you store fat, it's simple as that if you don't eat carbs (in excess) or doing intermittent fasting sometimes it won't ever be an issue, many doctor I follow in CZcams said this and tried on themselves showing the results, biology sure is a complicated thing and we should appreciate it a lot more
I was getting worried this challenge killed WIL. I'm just glad he's alive to post his results.
Why would eggs kill someone, I eat nothing but meat, eggs and water for 3+ years. I'm healthier at 35 than any part of my life
@@sv4207 do you cook them?
@@sv4207 because if your body hyper absorbs cholesterol (which is totally genetics) and you start a diet like this for an extended period you gonna be six feet deep pretty soon. Thank your parents you are a hypo absorber

Great video Joseph. Always appreciate your positive attitude when presenting new challenges.
Thanks for the effort and for putting your time and your HEALTH on the line for us to study and experiment with our own bodies in a safer manner. High quality content 👍
I was very concerned when WIL announced he was doing this challenge. I am -slightly disappointed- quite relieved he did not turn into an giant man sized egg.
Or a teeny egg-sized man
The prequel to Humpty Dumpty we never knew we needed
Great video as always Joseph! Was really looking forward to this one.
I am also doing the 3 big lifts but I feel a little stuck. Is it possible that you share your optimized routine for hypertrophy? Thanks in advance!
Obviously not the person you’re looking for but, for hypertrophy I recommend doing high-weight pulling and pushing exercises in a rep range of 6-12. For squat, leg press, bench, deadlift, etc. you can make that 4-8. If you have any other questions lmk. Hope that helps!
Now i can continue my 8 eggs a day diet plan without feeling any guilt.🍳🍳🥚🥚
Going to eat all the eggs in one sitting?

Jow do you eat them?
@@junior17medval cooked normally, I eat about 4-5k calories normally so it’s pretty easy
How’s that going for you champ? I want to up my egg intake to 12 currently eating 6
Glad to see that you turned out well and the eggsperiment was a success. You look physically much better in terms of mass too. I've been most curious to see how this would turn out after your frequent meme-esque posting on Twitter and Insta 👍
I am loving this content, what a phenomenal channel. 100 percent.
We sometimes reach different conclusions from reading the same research...but not very often. I really like the way you take all the research, then apply it to a practical, real world situation. Also a bit jealous of your dual language comfort level. That opens up a whole world of new data and experience.
Egg prices are up 356% per dozen since November 2021. It may get expensive to complete this challenge. Great work on the information.
It's most of his diet so less extra items
Not every country. I'm in Australia and they've barely changed. I believe he's in Japan
@@Michael-yl4ch I can see you've not owned chickens - they'll destroy a year's worth of garden-growing in a week 💀

Fun experiment. Thanks for doing these things. Very educational!
Great video as usual! Been following your content for years.
This is a really Great video! Very insightful
One of the rare people who mentioned proteins like avidin and trypsin inhibitors in raw egg whites. I usually separate egg yolks from egg whites, cook the egg whites to denature the proteins, put cooked egg whites and raw egg yolks in blender, add some WHEY protein with milk for taste or banana and chug it down - simple and effective way to chug down the cooked egg whites.
*Thanks for doing this video! I thought you were just doing 30 eggs only without other food. Would have been nice to see you keep the same exercise routine for the month, though. Also woudl have liked to have seen if your other hormones had changed- Free Test, SHBG , estrogen etc. to see if that made the test you have more available or whatnot. Cheers for the video again! appreciate you doing all this!one my fave channels!* 💪👍
One of the best videos on the subject I've seen. I've been into the science of sport & nutrition since the 90s & learned some new info from it.
Bonus points for pronouncing hyper trophy correctly.
Been waiting for this WIL!
It's really hard to gauge the lift Improvement since since you weren't lifting before and there is always that immediate improvement with form and muscle memory improving. Do you think you'll stay lifting? Obviously its not worth maintaining a different work out for a possible future video, but it would provide a better comparison baseline.
I know you said you had some mitigating factors screwing up your base line going in. Do you think you will repeat this ever, and if so, would you consider fasting or moving into Keytosis immediately after? I am curious how a body would respond with the raised hormon levels.
You know, you could just do it yourself
@@popculturereference1147 Ya for sure but I don't have fans to pay for my blood tests and also don't really want to.
Great experiment , very informative ,very interesting and funny.Merry Christmas from Spain!!
Always very informative
Putting on a noticeable amount of muscle in 30 days as someone natural and not new to lifting is impressive. Don't sell it short :)
I usually cook the eggs over easy or soft boil them to keep the yolks raw and whites cooked. Also spices like salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, etc help with variety. Salsa and tomato sauce too. 👍
Super cool video! Thanks again for making such amazing content!
i just discovered your channels and wow man. Thank you
Prior to the egg diet, what is a typical diet for you? Did thus diet also influence your fasting/calorie consumption window
Would have been interesting t check your levels of somatotropin. I heard in a lecture that prior to just taking recombinant produced somatotropin , people ate lots of stuff (Professor said 30 Schnitzels as an example) to induce production of somatotropin. Somatotropin does lots of stuff like preventing breakdown of proteins (maybe that's where the lower creatinin levels in your blood are from), bur in general it promotes growth.
(story was about heart valves, because it promotes all muscles growing, but some things like heart valves are excluded, so you might get an insufficient aortic valve if you do this for too long, especially not by eating eggs but taking it as a drug for bodybuilding)
Hey this was interesting to see how it would pan out. I'm not sure I would have taken the rice or honey, but it was interesting to hear that you didn't experience any ongoing negative impacts. Other than the mango and possible whites issue.
I've heard somewhere else, maybe a Dr. Ekberg video, that the optimal nutritional uptake does require eating the egg whole as it has an effect which is mitigated when separated. Although it's a huge pain, maybe you should consider poaching your eggs, that way the whites are cooked off and the yolk suffers as little denaturing as possible. If you're masochistic enough, you could pre-poach all your eggs and have them ready to go quicker, or mix in with beef to keep it interesting.
Been waiting for this👍👍
Dude those muscle gains are actually insane for 30 days.
This guy is the reason there's an egg shortage. It all makes sense now. The bird flu was just a red herring
Well done. I would so be interested in long term effects. Love the testing. The fact the triglycerides went down by over half is amazing.
Love it, well done. I have started taking half a teaspoon of sea salt and gulp it down with water containing potassium and magnesium citrate. This I do an hour before my workout and boy I get pumped and I am also stronger. No more weak days.
The fact that his triglyceride levels went from 87 to 44 is insane.
I dropped my triglyceride levels from 1200 to 95 just by cutting out carbs.
@@descargaelbano same. Low carb plus keto for me really works.
Not insane at all, quite expected actually since he was practically on a low carb diet
Well it maynot be because he was eating eggs but rather what he was not eating
Joseph can you please do a video about SIBO? I have rarely met a single doctor who even acknowledges that it exists, yet from what I understand it's currently believed (again, not a ton to go off of given it's just started to be recognized by the medical community as even existing) that ~70-80% of IBS Sufferers actually have SIBO. I feel like with the work you've done with this channel over the last few years (I've been following/learning from you since 2018) your voice talking about the issue would be loud enough to actually bring it into public conversation and thus people's awareness. Thanks for all you do!
Great video once again! Can't wait to see what you do next! Maybe an all raw fish and egg diet. 👍
I've been waiting for this! ✨
While I cannot attest what it’s like to be on anabolic steroids, I did 36 eggs a day for a couple of months. Energy overall was great, energy in the gym was incredible. I found the best results and best digestion with drinking them and being cognizant to getting in some beef liver daily (1-2 oz). Biotin deficiency is probably not likely to occur with the whole egg raw but it’s better to hedge that bet. Great video.
2 tbsp butter for breakfast. Then work out fasted , then eat the raw eggs..
Is supposed to be the most efficient way, and maxing HGH
For naturals
@@fepethepenguin8287 why?
@@sassyterminator3858 butter for fuel and won't break ketosis. And prevent catabolic state
Working out fasted releases growth hormone .
Then you eat the eggs raw after, to break your fast, spike insulin, stop more catabolism from work out.
Plus eggs digest in minutes .
They are high in cholesterol, which is what you're body uses to make hormones
Yesss finally the egg video feels like an early Christmas gift thanks so much
Had been waiting for this video for so long
Wow that was an eggciting journey! ... Okay I'll stop.
But amazing experiment man! So much dedication needed to continue this for a whole 30 days - we should go out somewhere to eat and celebrate you finishing the video. How does omurice sound?
What's the single best Japanese "junk" food you would tell Westerners to try?
+1 for "eggciting"
-2 for missing eggsperiment. Come on it was right there!!!!
This guy is the sole reason for the price of eggs doubling..
Only doubled where you live? It went from $1.79 for an 18 pack to $8.89 here.
I eat a lot of eggs so it really stinks!😢
@@randomanda Yeah it’s $7 here. Before it was around $3. I was dieting and using that as a main protein supplement as well as peanut butter in spinach shakes, but now it would cost me over $8 a day to eat my daily meals…
@@lol22332 it’s really tough. Eggs are one thing we can hope the price comes back down.
Oddly, cartons of liquid egg still about $5. I think a 32oz carton is like 27 eggs. And the quality is fine plus you can freeze the cartons and the quality stays. Just check ingredients that you don’t get a seasoned one when you want plain (added vitamins are okay though).
Very cool experiments!
Great video once again, very informative.
I can honestly say the diet works. I drank 36 eggs a day for 3 months and put on 25 pounds of pure muscle, dropped down to 8% body fat, & went from 42 to 36in waist. I worked out 5 days a week, took cold showers got 8 hours of rest daily & lifted super heavy in the gym. It’s honestly achievable with the right mindset and discipline…
I also injected 500mg of test, 250mg of winstrol and HGH weekly.
lol
Thanks for the honesty
skeptical at first lol
Had us in the first half lol
Lol perfect
I mean if you think about it, eggs need to be one of the most nutritious foods in the world because they need to have all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals necessary to grow a living being
Same as milk, it’s growth horomone for calves. Beestings is the yellow first milk that’s better again, can’t remember the general name for it but you can get it in powder form now.
Great video man!
Finally. I've been waiting a long time for this video
I remember that a study concluded that eggs slighly raise LDL cholesterol, and after a certain amount of eggs (around 4) it plateaus to increase it around 10 (however this is not the same for all people, there are certain persons that absorb too much cholesterol and for them it can be detrimental, but for most people the dietary cholestrol barely have any effect in the serum cholesterol).
Thanks for putting your body on the line for this experiment ✌️
Awesome video mate. Keep it up.
I was waiting for this!
only 30 days and your Rear got much more powerful looking so see what 300 days does and remember that Balance is the key to nutrition and listening to the body and not so much the mind...Great video and great obsevations thank you
I eat 3 eggs EVERY DAY and I feel just fine! Been doing for 3 years. Active lifestyle, bodybuilding.
Really really interesting video.
I love these kinds of videos.
Eggcelent work! I Always wondered about the effect of cholesterol in eggs on the human body, and I'm pleased to see these positive results!
It should probably be noted that Japan has really strict guidelines for eggs. If you eat raw eggs in many other places, there's a slight chance you might get salmonella poisoning
Yes, also in italy fortunately there are strict controls for eggs bought so no problems with salmonella here.
@@ahahvideos True. No one eats them raw here though. The closest to a raw egg dish is carbonara, which is still cooked to an extent. Italians are weird when it comes to food safety. We have some of the cleanest waters in Europe yet we still often refuse to drink tap water whereas it's no different from bottled water. Cheers from Torino btw
In just 30 days those gains are extremely impressive. Would of been interesting to see if the gains would of carried on if you did another month.
First off, mad props to you for doing this video; thanks for it.
Second off, HOW are you eating these eggs raw?! o__o! I don't even know how you were able to swallow the ones at the start of the video without gagging, but that could be a texture thing for me. I'm not going quite that far, but, thanks to Dr. Sten Ekberg, the goal is to start getting at least 5 eggs a day into my diet for the next 30 days to see how my appetite reacts or if there'll be any changes to how I eat.
Third off, that kick around the 0:42 mark was sexy af, ngl.
Fourth off, I feel like if you get the unflavored LMNT powder and use it with AirUp, I think you'd have a pretty cool combo. I donno, these were the two most recent sponsors I've seen in some of the videos I've been watching.
Okay but I'm happy to see your face hahaha, and interesting topic, gonna binge that and the next one
Such a eggcelent eggsperiment. Eggtually the results were better than I eggspected. For eggample that you woke up earlier and had so much eggcitement starting a new day.
I tried this for 30 days, but only with 12 eggs per day. I found out that I might be a Lean Mass Hyper-Responder. My free testosterone increased 5%. Strength gains up. My LDL and HDL went way up. My Triglycerides went way down.
you said you LDL and HDL went way up. were you in healthy range?
@@techworld3043 yes both my hdl and ldl were in the normal range before the experiment
@@activeintech i was talking about after experiment ? was your hdl and LDL was in normal range ?
@@techworld3043 I see. I haven't measured my levels since. I think I will in a month or so to see if it goes back to normal
Then you did very well in terms of the triglycerides/HDL ratio, which according to some is the measure that should be minimized.
This channel keeps getting better and better
I saw the shorts about this 30 days eggs experiment and was eagerly waiting for this video to drop, now i can sleep peacefully at night
I love you so much! Thanks to your experiment I can justify my egg consume. I always wanted to eat tons of eggs so that I can save up money during the inflation and energy crisis in Germany. Eggs are still cheap and healthy I think so I thought I can live by only eating eggs. Now I have the ultimate proof thanks to you that what I have been planning is healthwise justified ❤️
you can add chicken hearts if they are cheap too in Germany, but not too much liver because eggs already contain enough vitamin a
So mache ich das auch ^^
Mit Hühnerherz und Leber, eine Vitaminbombe :D
@Liya Carolyn Yeah I can't manage to find liver in Aldi :( As a salmon/beef enjoyer, I have to say that prices almost doubled recently, resulting in a drastic reduction of my meat consumption(probably positive)
it's not healthy to eat too much of anything
@@2big2fail2 Edeka
Very interesting and novel experiment! Congratulations! Your results did surprise me a little. Especially the triglycerides! I didn't expect an improvement, tbh. Is age and fitness a factor in how eating so many eggs daily will affect levels of triglycerides? Will a sedentary, unfit, overweight man in his 60s, say, raise his already excessively high triglycerides levels even higher by eating this many eggs?
Look up Dave Feldman and his energy model.
@@Gengh13 Thanks, I just did, and he's fantastic. Has lots of detailed videos. Great reference, I appreciate it!
Hey WIL, Ive seen many of your videos on fasting, ketosis, and diets. I was wondering how all of this would affect someone with crohns disease and how you sould be able to improve this condition
Anyone else a bit raw about the fact that he didnt JUST eat 900 eggs in a month?
It wasnt specified but I assumed he'd JUST have eggs and we'd get a more accurate result for eating so many eggs over 1 month....
Such an interesting video, I always love this approach of being one's own guinea pig. Since you still have many more eggs to go, I'd love to see a follow-up video on your progress and blood work. Just a quick constructive criticism, I invite you to revision the form/technique on your max lifting videos comparison, I would hypothesize that your increase of performance (max lifted weight) is more due to better coaching, sheer will and lower technique i.e. you can surely lift heavier with a lower range of motion for the sake of proving a point in an entertainment video, but it leads to higher risk of injury and less muscle recruitment (hypertrophy/strenght building). I hope you won't take this last part too personally and lift safely in the future. Keep the videos going, I enjoy watching your work, Take care!
Continue this!
Another awesome video! Keep up the great work man. Thanks for sharing the knowledge
Btw eggs are very high in sulfur and sulfur is antagonistic to mineral molybdenum. Molybdenum is very interesting mineral used in our body in many detox pathways. Most people are deficient in it because molybdenum is mainly in legumes.. I take 1x400mcg pill once a week..
Hey, great video! How many eggs were you eating before the eggsperiment?
Plot twist: he was previously eating 100 eggs per day and lowered it to 30 for this experiment
Great Video
8:05 So this is the only person on the internet to use the same light in before/after comparison photos, nice!
4 weeks looks like a turning point to me, I think that those 4 extra weeks would really have lifted things up quite a bit
If you think you can prove that, do it and show us.
@@toni4729 I said "looks like to me", did you miss it?
Eight eggs a day seems to be my limit. Wow 30! Raw eggs?! That's dedication!
Eating them raw is the trick. They’re much less filling.
Thanks man, I was wondering about that diet for a long time, but now I know...
Great video , this was awesome 👏
Mangoes are actually in the same family as Poison Ivy... Not many people realize this. Perfectly safe but should still be a consideration when taking large portions.
You should test your ldl for small particles vs large particle. The small is what you should be worried about.
Looking at the form of those lifts and, in particular, the depth (or lack thereof) in the (1/4) squat at 9:11 please please please consider trying 6 months of dedicated professional power lifting training or professional body building training so you learn form. There have got to be some decent CSCS certified coaches in japan at least. I imagine you'll be able to see massive benefits to your lifts. Strong lifts=strong body, strong body=better life
9:50 that's amazing ! Did you eat only organic eggs during this experiment or regular range eggs ?
If you want the yolks to be on the raw side to avoid fat oxidation, and you want the whites to be cooked to avoid stomach upset, then would soft boiled eggs be the way to go?
or scramble on low heat
