Hi, I’m Arielle Chandler—and This Is the Story I Never Thought I’d Share Publicly
Let’s rewind to a version of me I wasn’t proud of.
Tired. Bloated. Stressed out. A closet full of clothes that didn’t fit. I’d tried every “quick fix” diet, every juice cleanse, every fad that showed up on social media with promises of instant results.
I’d lose five pounds… and gain back ten.
Every Monday started with good intentions, and every Friday ended with delivery pizza and regret. I felt trapped in a cycle that I didn’t know how to break.
And the turning point wasn’t some big dramatic moment.
It was a boiled egg.
The Moment It All Clicked
One evening, I was scrolling through a forum about metabolism and meal prepping when I stumbled across a thread titled:
“Boiled Egg Diet: Anyone Tried This?”
It wasn’t fancy. It wasn’t written by a doctor. But something about the simplicity caught my attention. Eat eggs, lean protein, vegetables, fruit. No sugar. No starchy carbs. Drink water. Stick to it for 14 days.
No powders. No points. No weird subscription boxes.
I thought, “What do I have to lose—except maybe this stubborn weight?”
So I made a plan. I bought a dozen eggs. Some spinach. A bag of grapefruit. Chicken breasts. I boiled a batch of eggs that night.
And the next morning, I started.
The First Week: Expecting Nothing, Experiencing Everything
I won’t lie — the first few days were tough. Not because I was hungry (the protein kept me surprisingly full), but because my body was detoxing from the constant flow of bread, sugar, and snacks.
By day 3, I had a headache. I wanted to give up. But I kept drinking water, eating clean, and reminding myself why I started.
Then something amazing happened on day 4.
I woke up energized.
No bloating. My face looked slimmer. My cravings were lower. And when I stepped on the scale… I’d dropped 3 pounds.
I almost cried.
Week Two: The Real Shift Begins
By day 10, I felt like a new person.
I wasn’t just losing weight. I was gaining momentum. I was sleeping better. I had mental clarity I hadn’t felt in years. And I wasn’t obsessing over food anymore. I just followed the plan.
It felt like a fog had lifted.
By the end of the 14-day cycle, I had lost 9.6 pounds, several inches off my waist, and a whole lot of self-doubt.
So… What Is the Boiled Egg Diet?
Let’s break it down simply. The Boiled Egg Diet isn’t just eggs—it’s a structured way of eating built around high protein, low carbs, and clean eating.
✅ What You Eat:
- Hard-boiled eggs (2–4 per day)
- Lean proteins (chicken, turkey, fish)
- Leafy greens (spinach, kale, lettuce)
- Low-carb veggies (cucumbers, zucchini, broccoli)
- A small amount of fruit (mainly grapefruit, berries, oranges)
- Water. Water. More water.
To synergistically enhance the water for even better results, I recommend this crystal water bottle below!
❌ What You Don’t Eat:
- Bread, pasta, rice, or other grains
- Processed sugar
- Alcohol or soda
- Dairy (limited use of cottage cheese is fine)
- Snacks or junk food
From Personal Notes to Publishing: How My First Book Was Born
I started emailing a basic PDF of my plan. Friends passed it on. Within weeks, it had been forwarded over 300 times.
That’s when I wrote:

Common Reader Results

💡 Common Mistakes to Avoid
If you’re trying this for the first time, avoid these:
- Not eating enough – Skipping meals slows your metabolism.
- Too much fruit – Stick to citrus or berries.
- Underhydration – Water flushes fat.
- Overcomplicating it – Don’t count every gram. Stick to the food list.
- No plan after Day 14 – That’s why I made Book Two.
💬 FAQs (Expanded)
Q: Is coffee allowed?
A: Yes, but skip the sugar and cream. Black or with a splash of unsweetened almond milk works.
Q: What about exercise?
A: Optional—but walking, yoga, and light resistance can help accelerate results.
Q: Will I be hungry all the time?
A: Most people feel full because of the protein. Add volume with leafy greens.
Q: What about cheat meals?
A: Not during the 14 days. After that, yes—but plan them!
🏋️ Pairing With Light Exercise
While exercise isn’t required, I found adding just 20–30 minutes of movement a few times a week made a noticeable difference:
- Walking after meals improved digestion.
- Bodyweight exercises helped tone faster.
- Stretching reduced inflammation and helped with sleep.
It’s not about hitting the gym—it’s about keeping your body active.
💬 Sample Daily Plan
Day 1 Sample Menu:
- Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs + half grapefruit
- Lunch: Grilled chicken breast + spinach salad
- Dinner: Baked fish + steamed zucchini
- Drinks: Herbal tea, lemon water
Final Thoughts: It’s Not Magic—It’s Momentum
You don’t need a coach. You don’t need to punish yourself. You need a reset.
Start small. Stick to simple meals. Let the results speak for themselves.
