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

Oh, and while you’re at it, wrangle one or more small [animal-like] children all day, keep the entire house clean, and dinner better be ready when I get home–it’s been a hard day at work. And stop being such a bitch, eh?

This diet was easy with a health dose of amphetamines. Wine took the edge off.

I must add, the gas I would produce on this diet would for sure violate the Geneva Suggestions

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.

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
Throwaway131447@lemmynsfw.com 2 days ago
I love the grocery store yesterday $6 a dozen was the lowest price one they had
Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 days ago
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

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.
Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Chickens get sick extremely easy and require a LOT of time for extra care and maintenance of their boxes.
Fire 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
caboose2006@lemm.ee 2 days ago
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.
myusernameis@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
Basically yes.
addie@feddit.uk 3 days ago
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.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 3 days ago
They aren’t done until you get an even green layer around the yolk.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 days ago
OK but also boiled eggs are fine. Like I don’t hate them with seasoned salt, but fried and scrambled are the way to go
ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 3 days ago
I laughed way too hard at this.
I love wine, but it is a depressant, and without a more normal amount of food to help blunt the effects of alcohol, I think I was experiencing a little bit of that “sad drunk girl crying in the bathroom” syndrome many of us observed (or experienced, no judgment!) in college.
garbagebagel@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I feel this without the alcohol so maybe I should try this diet and lose some weight at least.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 days ago
OK that’s hilarious and also it puts a bit of a contextual spin on mid century misogyny. Every description of the mental and emotional effects of that diet reminded me of how all that was the stereotype of young professional women in the 70s
rivan@lemm.ee 3 days ago
Unspoken component of this diet was an array of experimental opioids and uppers that were handed out to housewives like tic-tacs.

Also nothing but protein and a smidge of fat. The only carbs you get is the little bit of sugar in the wine, but considering it recommends dry wine that’s not much. I bet you’d have the worst headache of your life by day three.

A lot of fat too. Eggs and steak are high fat, especially high saturated fat.

I don’t like chicken, so sounds like 3 bottles of rum a day.

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
bustAsh@lemmy.world 3 days ago
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
OK damnit, I’m in with you OP. First one to -5 pounds (or death) wins. Shall we bet?

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.

Very similar to The Drinking Man’s Diet.
