ah yes, the trembling alcoholic 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
Young is doing a lot of lifting.
Just as I never had to when I was young…
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.

Very similar to The Drinking Man’s Diet.
If most of the food you eat is wrapped in plastic or in a box, it’s not going to be any different.
User name checks out.
Throws out all my rice, oatmeal, milk, and berries because they all come in either plastic or a box
You know if you eat that stuff you’re going to die eventually
you know who else comes in a box
Everything?
Y’all motherfuckers need gardens smdh I haven’t had a plastic wrapped berry in years.
Cant help with grains though those are pretty rough at urban homestead scales
I’d love a garden. That would require a yard, which is a luxury
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.
Fun fact: Nikola Tesla suggested to drink a bit of… burbon or the like before bed.
He also had to walk around a building a 3 times before entering. It’s a wonder he got anything done.
Every innovator of the early 20th century was a mentally ill alcoholic.
The excessive amounts of white wine is actually the only thing here that saves you from scurvy.
I don’t think that you’ll get scurvy in the 3 days of this diet. 😆🍋
Excessive you say? Hmm…seems like the bare minimum.
DIET: WINE AND EGGS
Steak
Breakfast:
Lunch:
Dinner:
Shit. Where you getting the money for so many cigarettes? Best I can do is drag a two pack of Swisher Sweets out over the week.
I take the smaller glass is “little water”
France?
If this was Balkan, it would have been espresso.
Finland. Coffee, cigarette, and vodka. Called blöro
Ahh, so not apricot brandy… Oh well.
Enjoy the sauna!
Good point, the cigarettes were probably a given.
The finn special.

Such a foodie
Three eggs a day? In this economy!?
Trump is going to bring the egg price down any day now
The Gulf of How Does This Lower Grocery Prices
Wait how expensive are eggs in the USA? In Germany I pay 3.50 Euros (3.65$) for a dozen organic eggs. Make that 2.20 for non-organic not free-range
The average dozen is about 3 USD
2 daily eggs, give or take, is about 30 usd a month
So they have to be a total destitute to not reach that in a month given the complexities on preparing the eggs (iev boiling). Ironic, given that they seem to have a good internet connection and a device for it
That’s the average in (early) 2024. With bird flu the current commodity price is 7/dozen and expected to rise. The joke above was meant to reference the sudden and alarming spike in egg prices. Without public health intervention things could get pretty bad.
This guy gets it
I think your math is off. At 3$/dozen 2 eggs a day is 1doz/6 days 30/6 =5 5x3 = 15$/month
The reason it hurts when egg prices go up is because eggs were (and are still) some of the most cost-effective protein (especially as a whole protein) you can buy and eggs are in everything.
I was at the grocery store yesterday $6 a dozen was the lowest price one they had
$8.99 for 12 in California
I got curious and asked chatgpt to calculate things for me. It suggests that if doozens of eggs cost you more than 5$ 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.
Chickens get sick extremely easy and require a LOT of time for extra care and maintenance of their boxes.
For 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
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.
Egg in a hole is the new avocado toast
70s keto
Yeah it is keto + OBOWAD. Alcohol inhibits fat metabolism so I would expect this to be less effective than keto for fat loss.
When I was keto I could have 1 serving of alcohol a day and that seemed to actually help prevent plateaus, probably due to diuretic effects. However, 2 or more drinks in a meal and I wouldn’t lose or would even gain due to inflammation. I don’t think I tried drinking 1-2 per meal for more than one meal a day.
(one bottle allowed per day)
My doctor thinks that’s reasonable. French in his sixties.
To be fair they had the whole “I’m not drinking more than one Litre of wine per day!” in the nineties (maybe eighties), pronounced by popular actors and so.
there was also the “french are having less coronary diseases that must be because of wine!” craze as well, which I think has been recently debunked. not that there is anything wrong with a good glass of red wine, it is just not a substitute for genetic luck, healthy diet and brisk walking when it comes to coronary health.

Feels like the Lucille Bluth diet.
“It’s what’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner…”
A bottle of wine a day is a lot of empty calories
I mean, at least the wine and coffee have some antioxidants.
3 eggs is a lot of empty protein
Could always cut down on the eggs and add some tequila
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.
Did you die yet?
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
I’m also intrigued as to why they think hard boiling vs poaching the egg has any bearing on its calorie content.
Pochwd has high probability you will eat the yolk which has the highest calories of all the egg
Hard boiled you can just take out the solid yolk out and not eat it.
I keep thinking of the old rolling ball on the bottom of mice when I see hardboiled yolk
you are over cooking your eggs if they come out with grey yolks
Man, my mom has been ducking up my eggs
Yeah same, those old rolling balls were delicious.
But they don’t even say to do that lol.
Why would you do that? Are there people who prefer the white? If so, they need to be my friends, we would be compatible.
I hate the yolk of a hard boiled egg unless it’s mixed into something (like tuna salad). If I am eating hard boiled eggs, I usually give the yolks to someone else. They taste like sandy farts.
On a hard boiled egg? yes. HB yolks taste like butter chalk to me. I don’t mind yolks in things, but their individual flavor and texture in HB is lacking to me.
You have boiled it too long then. Hard boiled doesn’t need to be taken literally as boiled until tough and rubbery. I aim for just past “jammy” yolks, the white completely set, the yolk fully cooked but only just. That is done by putting them in boiling water, 9 minutes or a little less, immediately cool by draining them filling the pot with ice.
For textbook perfect boiled eggs, place the eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil then cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Wait 10 minutes since the eggs under cool water and peel immediately.
I used to do that but lowering them into boiling water works a lot better for me, can get ramen eggs, soft, hard boiled, the timing somehow always works out even though they can’t possibly be going in at exactly the same temperature every time. The boil and wait 10 gets them too cooked.
I do also poke a hole in the empty end of the egg, with a pin, and this makes 'em easier to peel.
I’d certinly give that texture is configurable. But there’s something in that yolk that I don’t care to deal with without some serious masking. I don’t even like deviled eggs.
Are there people who don’t prefer the white??? I love boiled egg whites so much I could just have a bowl of them next to me if I wasn’t so lazy to boil and peel
Ok, deal, I get the yolks, you get the whites. I’ll even boil and peal to get the yolks!
I am coming over to give you a kiss on the lips rn
Why not on the eggs?
Many reasons really. health reasons is the first one that comes to mind. Others don’t like the texture, while being fine with the runny yolk using it as a sauce in other situations. The reduced surface area also heightens the flavor of salt, so you end up eating less salt per egg overall
In any case yeah. There are people who prefer the white part as well
I heard some foods have more calories when they’re cooked versus uncooked because it puts them in a form that is easier for your body to process, but I don’t think it’s anywhere as granular as hard boiled versus poached lol.
Yeah, that’s plausible for cooking in general, but boiling vs poaching is a pretty fine distinction.
Vitamins be like… hmph, skinny ass bitches really are going to die.
Basically yes.
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.
I feel this without the alcohol so maybe I should try this diet and lose some weight at least.
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
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.
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
They aren’t done until you get an even green layer around the yolk.
