Would be more efficient if she’d also smoke 30 cigarettes a day.
It’s the 70s. The cigarettes are implied haha
I would sub out a decent bottled in bond bourbon for the wine. But overall I approve of the diet.
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. It says chablis only, a regional subset of chardonays. Seems a little bit strict-- I again blame the 70s.
OK damnit, I’m in with you OP. First one to -5 pounds (or death) wins. Shall we bet?
I think the poaching was only mentioned cause it’s in vogue and it had to make the reader feel bougie.
Winner gets the others leftover eggs
I have to forfeit. just went to 3 stores, no eggs to be had till wednesday I heard. I guess you win, and you get all my leftover eggs.
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
The wine is probably 500 Calories in carbs though.
True, but I don’t drink alcohol unless it’s a dry wine, or a low carb seltzer.
I could 100% live on this diet. It is probably almost as healthy as I eat now.
Three eggs a day? In this economy!?
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
I was at the grocery store yesterday $6 a dozen was the lowest price one they had
$8.99 for 12 in California
The average dozen is about 3 USD
2 daily eggs, give or take, is about 30 usd a month
So they have to be a total destitute to not reach that in a month given the complexities on preparing the eggs (iev boiling). Ironic, given that they seem to have a good internet connection and a device for it
I think your math is off. At 3$/dozen 2 eggs a day is 1doz/6 days 30/6 =5 5x3 = 15$/month
The reason it hurts when egg prices go up is because eggs were (and are still) some of the most cost-effective protein (especially as a whole protein) you can buy and eggs are in everything.
That’s the average in (early) 2024. With bird flu the current commodity price is 7/dozen and expected to rise. The joke above was meant to reference the sudden and alarming spike in egg prices. Without public health intervention things could get pretty bad.
This guy gets it
I got curious and asked chatgpt to calculate things for me. It suggests that if doozens of eggs cost you more than 5$ 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.
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.
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
Trump is going to bring the egg price down any day now
The Gulf of How Does This Lower Grocery Prices
Egg in a hole is the new avocado toast
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.
Yes you do lose weight when you develop cirrhosis of the liver.
Replace the egg by a croissant, add a cigarette after each meal. Become condescending. Move to France. Blend in.
Replace the egg by a œuf.
Imagine that being your fuel for every day. 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?
The booze was less of a diet aid and more of an anti-psychotic, I assume.
This diet was easy with a health dose of amphetamines. Wine took the edge off.
With a healthy enough dose, you can speedrun this by cutting the eggs, coffee, wine, and steak.
That’s what I’m talking about!
So passé, it’s ecig now.
(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.

I still chuckle from this… somehow the thought of doing a diet is even worse than death for him hahaha
- Brought to you by the American Egg, White Wine and Steak Association.
Feels like the Lucille Bluth diet.
“It’s what’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner…”
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.
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.
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.
But they don’t even say to do that lol.
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
Yeah same, those old rolling balls were delicious.
Why would you do that? Are there people who prefer the white? If so, they need to be my friends, we would be compatible.
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
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.
Sponsored by a wine maker. A bottle of wine a day - jeeze.
There’s a lot of days when I eat less and drink more.
The diet works, you guys. I haven’t been this light in like 23 years, and back then I was quite a bit shorter. (Which is why I don’t use the word thin. I’ve never been this thin.)
edit (it’s 19:12 and my “breakfast” is this bottle of Dr Pepper that I put a few fingers of rum into)
That wine is gonna kick like a mule on an empty stomach.
And the coffee to really make you going.
Coffee to get you up wine to bring you down, everything in balance.
