    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.

    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.

    Replace the egg by a croissant, add a cigarette after each meal. Become condescending. Move to France. Blend in.

    Bless her. If someone that really 'loves and appreciates wine' but 'hates eggs' finds that a complete nightmare, then I (who am the opposite) should leave it alone.

    She'd absolutely cooked the shit out of those eggs, though. I'd probably hate them too if I only got 'yellow cooked until it's a powdery dust' as my options.

    Not a veggie in sight, so your whole digestive motility was based on alcoholic diarrhea. (Been there..)

    So fashionable to shit yourself in public in white dresses.

    Unspoken component of this diet was an array of experimental opioids and uppers that were handed out to housewives like tic-tacs.

    What ties it together for me is suggesting that poached egg for Lunch is acceptable, as if they understand the horrors of war experienced during breakfast

    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.

    Another of the 3-day diets on this list (and to be fair, they said don't do any of them for more than 3 days!) was:

    Ice cream. As much as you want. But only vanilla, and no extras like fudge sauce or sprinkles.

    I remember, because I'm old.

    I read one in a magazine that was for more than 3 days, and it suggested only drinking milk instead of water.
    The reasoning was:

    • fat cells are mostly water
    • so not drinking water will "dry out" the fat cells
    • drinking milk is fine because your stomach acid turns it into a solid, so it isn't liquid anymore

    Nutritional advice used to be wild.

    A bottle of wine a day is a lot of empty calories

  • source

    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.

    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

    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.

    Diuretic diet. It works, but your piss will be brown at the end. 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.
