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

[–] new_guy@lemmy.world 123 points 3 days ago (9 children)

Mostly of the weight loss would be water.

No carbs plus alcohol and coffee is just diuretics

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 57 points 3 days ago (13 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.

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

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Is that true? It wouldn't surprise me. When I was competing in that weight category sport I had a very skewed view of what I considered overweight (for me).

99% of the population would have considered me lean as fuck when I thought otherwise.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I was going to say, sounds like the shit the wrestlers used to do back in high school. Always seemed wildly unhealthy.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Imo weight class should be determined by an average of a bunch of weigh-ins for weeks or months before an event. Then, on the day of the event, allow some tolerance over the max weight but only if the average stays under. If the average creeps up into the tolerance zone, then they go up a weight class. Make the weight classes based on healthy habits rather than basically cheating in an unhealthy way to make weight a day before, then bulking back up to whatever weight for the actual fight.

Not that I have any stake in any of that, so my say isn't really relevant.

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 4 points 2 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 2 points 2 days ago

Top advice!

No carbs

An entire bottle of white wine a day

If you lose more than water weight in 3 days, it's probably due to traumatic illness or amputation.

They left out the cigarettes.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 80 points 3 days ago

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

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 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.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 54 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 61 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] kablez@lemmy.world 5 points 2 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 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

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

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

The good ol days

[–] marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It was in fashion at the time. The all important question of "Do you fart with that ass?" was finally silenced for one glorious year.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 3 days ago

Silenced, but still deadly.

White wine with steak? Blasphemy!

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

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

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 6 points 2 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!

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

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

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] pishadoot@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 days ago

Look at the friggin sommelier over here

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A fatty chardonnay could do

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fatty Chardonnay will be your nickname at the tennis club.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is why I tend to avoid tennis clubs

What's the difference between a boiled egg and a poached egg? Theyre both just the egg cooked in water one with shell and one without

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 55 points 3 days ago

You burn more calories peeling the boiled egg.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

I like how it says "if necessary." Like what possible scenario exists where it's necessary to poach an egg instead of hard boiling it lol

If you're staring at that hardboiled egg thinking. "I can't do it. I can't eat one more of those..."

Fine, if you're going to be a baby about it, poach it, instead

[–] lyrial@anarchist.nexus 6 points 3 days ago

I imagine that eating exactly the same thing for multiple days would get tiring to say the least, so at least a different preparation would be welcome. Probably not necessary in the literal sense, but in the sense that you "need" something different.

The crunch mostly.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Seems perfectly reasonable to me

Shit your guts out, the diet.

[–] DEJED@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Getting heartburn just by reading this…

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

Its the real life version of the Butterfield Diet

So get drunk and get skinny?

I don't think its working, I'm still fat.

P.S.

Its just a joke folks, you can chill

[–] addie@feddit.uk 12 points 3 days ago

Lots of calories in beer. Need to move yourself over to neat spirits. Make sure that you spend all your money on them, so that you've nothing left to buy food. Then follow the diet posted above, but skip the eggs and replace the large glass of wine with a large glass of vodka. You'll lose a tonne of weight.

There are articles online about people trying this diet. At least one girl said it worked, but obviously the amount you lose would depend on Your starting weight and You would lose mostly water.
