Samster, I would guess whole eggs are just fine, if you can't find pre-packaged whites. Those are so commonly available here, that I forgot that isn't the case everywhere.
The US has such a distorted food industry: the gov't put out guidelines over the last 30 - 40 years that totally messed us up. First, it was eat dairy and grain, because we produce a lot of both; then it was the low-fat directive, then the introduction of high fructose corn syrup. Every pre-packaged food seems to have sugar- there are over 40 names for sugar! - plus lots of stuff I can't pronounce. People are so much fatter than when I was a kid!
My family was always thin, but I had knee problems + menopause at the same time, and put on weight for over 10 years. Getting a high A1c reading finally pushed me to research and find HCG - thank goodness! Plus I switched to a whole foods ketogenic diet, and avoid the hidden sugars and starches.
Sorry to hijack your post to rant!
