Eggs for breakfast, eggs for dinner…
When you finally shit it will be like 2 Coke cans stuck together.
That’s what all the coffee and wine is for!
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 could 100% live on this diet. It is probably almost as healthy as I eat now.
tummy ache city
I would absolutely vomit on this diet.
That’ll help with your figure even more!
I guess that’s the point? Besides, it’s only three days
I’m pretty sure fasting for 3 days would have the same weight loss effect and be healthier.
Or just do the sort of liquid diet that you need to do before a colonoscopy or something like that.
Clearly the key to success is how hard-boiled the eggs are.
I was a little curious why the egg has to be hard boiled.

Which is wild considering the spice trades of the… (according to the internet, prehistory through modernity, so that’s a thing…)
I have to assume that 1950s housewives were so thoroughly drugged up that they couldn’t tell the difference…
I know that they made everything in jello/aspic because gelatin was formerly a luxury, like sugar and basically any spices, so they went a bit batshit when they got cheap access…

Anchovy paste makes sense, much like using soy sauce or fish sauce or miso paste or even tomato paste does. You just don’t use a ton of it. It doesn’t necessarily taste fishy, but it adds a lot of umami and salt. It improves most soups, for example.
No butter or margarine maybe?
Because it’s harder to digest! The point is, you use more calories digesting a hard boiled egg than you get from it. Or so the theory was at the time.
Well that’s just fucking nonsense. At least the celery myth starts on the premise that celery has 15 calories a serving instead of an egg, a food literally packed with all the calories and protein you need to make a baby chicken.
Does celery have a lot of protein? TIL
No, but it also isn’t calorie-neutral, or calorie-reducing like fad diets claim…
That’s nuts. I just assumed it was because hardboiled eggs are cooked without additional fat
This is clearly fake. No mention of cocaine anywhere

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.
It’s from the 70s, not the 80s
That one really works
You’re not gonna stop at 3 days though
ah yes, the trembling alcoholic diet
Very similar to The Drinking Man’s Diet.
On a single bottle of wine?
That’s why theyre trembling.
Wine + coffee
But you would build resistance to both over about three weeks.
tbf when I was young and single and would go out 4 times a week I was the skiniest I’ve ever been
When I was 20 I ate pizza and drank soft drinks every day for two years straight and I was fine. Having the youth and body that allows you to make tons of mistakes is great.
It’s not only that. The acohol diet is real. We go out and drink drink drink, puke, no sleep, work work work. I was living out of 1 sandwich a day and It was fine. Of course my body allowed me to do this lol, nowdays if you ask me out past 8pm I think you are insane
I was always skinny, no matter my diet or exercise etc. until I turned 30. I’m a bit above normal now, not fat but got some stuff to tug on. Looking back at photos from my crazy party years is scary, almost feels like a miracle that I’m still alive. I was so damn skinny and had almost green skin colour, just sickly looking. That’ll definitely come and bite me in the ass in older days.
Young is doing a lot of lifting.
Just as I never had to when I was young…
I can already smell the deadly farts. The force is strong with this one.
After a whole bottle of wine, you wouldn’t care, and you would care if anyone else cares :)
Does wine cause farts? News to me.
eggs and nothing else certainly does
Today is one of these days when a poached egg is necessary.
Dieuretic diet. It works, but your piss will be brown. Removing all the glycogen and water from your system can lose you over 5 pounds in a few days, but it won’t change your shape.
I mean, there’s nothing preventing people from drinking water as part of this diet…
Hilariously enough, it’s really a very basic, boozy ketogenic diet.
You’ll lose a lot of water-weight in the first few days regardless, as you deplete your glycogen stores; the caffeine, alcohol and lack of carbohydrates should help keep satiety (lack of hunger pangs).
I challenge you to stay hydrated while drinking coffee with every meal and a whole bottle of wine.
That is absolutely insane. Black coffee? What am I a savage?
That was exactly how I felt I was treated when I was 20 and visited the US.
Asked for a small Cup of coffee in Starbucks, and the girl asked me 3 times if I was absolutely sure I wanted it without cream and sugar.
Black with sugar is the best coffee.
Black with no sugar is the best coffee, provided it’s a quality brew.
Yup. Stopped adding sugar when I discovered there was better coffee than Dunkin’s.
Sugar, with no coffee. Provided it’s quality sugar.
Here come the men in black
Man, I’ve never found any coffee that was good enough for straight black. Just sugar or just milk/cream, sure. But I always need to cut the bitterness or the acidity.
If you can find some Guatemalan coffee, it’s amazing black. Colombian is a close second Imo.
Sugar with no black is the best coffee, provided it’s a quality brew
If you go black… Wait what are we talking about?
You can’t go back
Lemon juice at dinner guarantees that you reach max level of heartburn, if not yet.
The first time I ever experienced heartburn, it was so bad that I felt like a chestburster alien was trying to come out. I was absolutely desperate and immediately started trying the home remedies, none of which did shit.
I went to the doctor later and I was like, “This cannot be heartburn. I’ve seen the heartburn commercials and this is so much worse. And the commercials all have old men with heartburn.”
Surprise! Chronic heartburn started as a 22-year-old woman.
One of many reasons that medications should not be allowed to be advertised on TV.
I had heartburn when I started eating really unhealthily and putting off exercise around the time before I went vegan. Because I didn’t know what I was doing at first I dropped a ton of weight, then gained some of it back when I discovered the array of processed vegan junk food.
I rarely get it now but when I do it’s after I haven’t been active for awhile—in other words when I start getting fat.
I had horrible heartburn throughout my 20s and into my 30s. Mentioned it to every doctor. It would keep me up at night. It would hurt like a bitch and I’d often feel like i was throwing up. One new doctor was like, “you ever try a food allergen panel?”
Turns out, I’m allergic to caesin. It’s a protein in pretty much all dairy. Stopped having dairy products and heartburn is 99% gone.
Moral of the story: heartburn can be caused by a tonne of reasons and it’s hard to pinpoint if there’s even something concrete to even point to
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.
Why the coffee for dinner?
My guess is the caffeine shuts off the appetite, hence having it at every meal.
Vitamins be like… hmph, skinny ass bitches really are going to die.
Excellent reference. I think about this at least once per week.
