Feels like the Lucille Bluth diet.
“It’s what’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner…”
I heard of fitness models doing restricted water intake and glass of white wine the night before the shoot. Not a bottle
A bottle of wine a day is a lot of empty calories
Could always cut down on the eggs and add some tequila
I mean, at least the wine and coffee have some antioxidants.
3 eggs is a lot of empty protein
Key point is that while ethanol can easily be turned into triglycerides, it’s not so easy to do gluconeogenesis with it. Since you can’t turn it all into glucose, you can’t refill your glycogen stores with it. Every gram of glycogen comes with 3 grams of water. You’ll end up losing a lot of water weight in a few days even if you’re in a calorie excess because of the relatively low carbohydrate profile of this diet. If you drink enough wine, the sugar from the wine will allow you to rebuild your glycogen stores so that’s why this diet limits it to a bottle.
I keep telling my parole officer this but he won’t listen.
This is clearly fake. No mention of cocaine anywhere
That one really works
You’re not gonna stop at 3 days though
It’s from the 70s, not the 80s
I believe back then that was routine with your daily multivitamin
Pretty sure it was all crack back then.
70s: Freebase 80s: Crack
I was under the impression that crack was a cheap mrans of freebase. 70s were powder, but also mostly “diet pills” (if you’re lucky it was amphetamines or methylphenidate, everything else was even harder on your body)
Didn’t the CIA invent crack in the 80s?
Did the cia invent crack? I was under the impression the cia was just selling huge amounts of cocaine to the inner cities and it was the ingenuity of the drug dealers that invented it
I would believe either. But the fact is the CIA dumped loads of illegal substances on poor communities and may it may not have dropped a recipe or two along the way because someone in power may have wanted a reason to start a war on poor people of color.
That’s what I heard, at least.
I must add, the gas I would produce on this diet would for sure violate the Geneva Suggestions
Geneva Suggestions
Found the account of US government
No, they now consider them the Geneva aggressions. As in how dare those Genoese tell us not to do something, we should invade Sweden over it. /s
“We highly recommend gassing civilians indiscriminately is like probably not really the best idea.”
username checks out.
Sgt Johnson: “Master Chief, use the space lasers!”
John: “wookie battle cry”
Found the Canadian. “It’s never a war crime the first time”.
My uncle has an enforced limit on deviled eggs at family gatherings for similar reasons.
Pro Tip: For an even quicker result, drink a cup of tequila right before bed. The agave’s thermogenic properties will ensure that you puke those 3 eggs and half a stake right out.
Fun fact: Nikola Tesla suggested to drink a bit of… burbon or the like before bed.
He also had to walk around a building a 3 times before entering. It’s a wonder he got anything done.
Every innovator of the early 20th century was a mentally ill alcoholic.

France?
If this was Balkan, it would have been espresso.
Finland. Coffee, cigarette, and vodka. Called blöro
Ahh, so not apricot brandy… Oh well.
Enjoy the sauna!

Such a foodie
Shit. Where you getting the money for so many cigarettes? Best I can do is drag a two pack of Swisher Sweets out over the week.
I take the smaller glass is “little water”
When is it “neccessary” to poach an egg instead of hard boil? I guess the 70s was a strange time. It was half a century ago and no one had computers or cell phones back then. I think people sat around and played monopoly.
One bottle a day per person. Boooo. Maybe get the double sized bottle then. The cheap ones they sell at the drugstore. And drinking water and coffee in the same meal, nice. Maybe mix them together. It says chablis only, a regional subset of chardonays. Seems a little bit strict-- I again blame the 70s.
OK damnit, I’m in with you OP. First one to -5 pounds (or death) wins. Shall we bet?
I think the poaching was only mentioned cause it’s in vogue and it had to make the reader feel bougie.
Winner gets the others leftover eggs
I have to forfeit. just went to 3 stores, no eggs to be had till wednesday I heard. I guess you win, and you get all my leftover eggs.
This is what is now called a keto diet. Eggs, due to high protein, work as an appetite suppressant for several hours. Sugar causes cravings in a few.
There was never, among other things, a high population of obese people until the recommendation of the low fat diet (pyramid diet). Usually you would just see them at carnivals.
I’ve gone back to the 60’s diet several years ago. Lost 95 lbs, have increased energy levels, feel great.
10/10 recommend
The wine is probably 500 Calories in carbs though.
True, but I don’t drink alcohol unless it’s a dry wine, or a low carb seltzer.
Low calorie seltzers dont exist. They just aren’t required to include alcohol in the Calorie count. One ounce of pure alcohol is about 250 Calories.
I don’t pay attention to calories, just the carbs I intake. However I have to watch my intake of alcohol because it will mess with your metabolism.
I could 100% live on this diet. It is probably almost as healthy as I eat now.
And no supper? I would definitely die without coffee, hard boiled egg and a glass of wine for supper.
It looks like they’ve never heard of second breakfast, either.
Anyone actually doing something like that has a problem.
eating disorders have been around forever :( we just have the language to describe it now
We all have problems.
Three eggs a day? In this economy!?
Wait how expensive are eggs in the USA? In Germany I pay 3.50 Euros (3.65$) for a dozen organic eggs. Make that 2.20 for non-organic not free-range
I was at the grocery store yesterday $6 a dozen was the lowest price one they had
$8.99 for 12 in California
The average dozen is about 3 USD
2 daily eggs, give or take, is about 30 usd a month
So they have to be a total destitute to not reach that in a month given the complexities on preparing the eggs (iev boiling). Ironic, given that they seem to have a good internet connection and a device for it
That’s the average in (early) 2024. With bird flu the current commodity price is 7/dozen and expected to rise. The joke above was meant to reference the sudden and alarming spike in egg prices. Without public health intervention things could get pretty bad.
This guy gets it
I think your math is off. At 3$/dozen 2 eggs a day is 1doz/6 days 30/6 =5 5x3 = 15$/month
The reason it hurts when egg prices go up is because eggs were (and are still) some of the most cost-effective protein (especially as a whole protein) you can buy and eggs are in everything.
Trump is going to bring the egg price down any day now

Egg in a hole is the new avocado toast
I got curious and asked chatgpt to calculate things for me. It suggests that if doozens of eggs cost you more than 5$ you can save money if you raise your own chicken.
In the first year, considering initial costs for setup and equipment, you may not save much—perhaps only $10 to $50. However, after the first year, the ongoing costs (mainly feed) could result in savings of $50 to $100 annually for each hen you keep.
Chickens get sick extremely easy and require a LOT of time for extra care and maintenance of their boxes.
For an amateur, the first years will be as much if not harder.
But my guess is if someone can’t make the 30 USD a month it takes to eat 2 daily eggs, they surely are not struggling for free time
Growing up we had 4 egg laying hens. We were swimming in eggs. Literally had to plan meals and baking and whatnot around how many eggs we had. We fed them to our dogs. Granted, it was just my mom and I, but damn we had eggs.
my wife and I tried this for a couple weeks and it works but I’d recommend putting the steak at lunchtime or breakfast if you’re at all active before dinner.
I nearly passed out when I tried to exercise before dinner steak. Next time I had the steak for lunch and was A OK.
I know someone who gets the shits from egg yokes and also coffee on occasion. This diet would work well for them because they’d shit themselves inside out after 3 days of this.
