I think you'd be better off just not eating for three days, only drinking water.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It makes me wonder if the alcohol is to distract you. Lol

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Oh, it is. Basically some wine over “fml” so it’s more tolerable.

At least they added caffeine, which is often added in weight loss remedies to bump up metabolism, and that does have some science behind it.

I'd prefer Sauvignon Blanc but sacrifices have to be made.

White wine with steak? Blasphemy!

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

The white wine was for the eggs, which works, and the steak is just collateral because finishing the bottle.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

You can substitute beer for the wine. Remember Kiddies, there is a pork chop's worth of calories in every bottle! This is why diabetics prefer beer of a real chop! ./////JKing!

This is NOT accurate dietary and medical advice!

[–] xyguy@startrek.website 2 points 5 days ago

Its the real life version of the Butterfield Diet

TIL psyop advertising has been around since the 70s..

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

It’s been around since Ancient Rome. They didn’t call it psychology, but where they put the Flavian Arena (aka. “The Colliseum”) is done to increase patronage. Additionally, stoking the crowd to foment an opinion agreeable to the State (e.g. the Emperor in Ancient Rome) was strong using theatrics.

Getting heartburn just by reading this…

1 bottle of white ~ 600 calories

3 hard boiled eggs - 225 calories

5 oz steak ~ 325 calories

For a total of 1150 calories. You'll need to be pretty active for a 5 lbs loss but you'd definitely lose some weight on this diet. Now I do not envy the heinous shits a diet of pure protein, coffee, and white wine will give you

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

5lb of fat is 17500 kcal. An additional 3450 kcal consumed brings that to 20950 kcal you'd have to expend in three days, or just under 7000 kcal/day. That's Olympic athlete level, isn't it?

[–] new_guy@lemmy.world 98 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Mostly of the weight loss would be water.

No carbs plus alcohol and coffee is just diuretics

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No carbs

An entire bottle of white wine a day

[–] new_guy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Google results are showing to me that are at most 30g in a bottle of red dry wine.

That's like a potato or something

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago (12 children)

Plus anything that was in your intestines / bowels. There's no fibre in there at all.

I used to have to "make weight" and water and empty intestines are the short version of how it's done.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So if we add some weetabix to the morning meal it’s basically a perfect diet! I’ll start experimenting tomorrow, I’ve already ordered 30 bottles of wine

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Protip: Use white wine instead of milk for your cereal. Turbo charge your morning shit by blending it together with four shots of espresso and a whole cigarette!

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Top advice!

[–] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Oh hey that's the main way men get eating disorders!

They left out the cigarettes.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 64 points 1 week ago

In the 70s, it's probably just a given.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Some stinky ass farts coming from an all egg and beef diet.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 58 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Don't worry. You and everyone you know is chain-smoking cigarettes all the time. Nobody will notice.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

The good ol days

[–] kablez@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Cigarettes used to make me need to shit really bad. I can't even imagine combining that with the Vogue diet of a boiled egg, glass of wine and black coffee. Sounds like a recipe for a day on the toilet!

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think we cracked the code. This "diet" is just bulimia with extra steps.

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

Yup, out the tail pipe instead of facing the toilet.

I'm all for morning drinking, but pairing a dry white with boiled eggs just doesn't seem like a good match
