Clearly the key to success is how hard-boiled the eggs are.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I was a little curious why the egg has to be hard boiled.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Because it's harder to digest! The point is, you use more calories digesting a hard boiled egg than you get from it. Or so the theory was at the time.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well that's just fucking nonsense. At least the celery myth starts on the premise that celery has 15 calories a serving instead of an egg, a food literally packed with all the calories and protein you need to make a baby chicken.

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

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.

Unspoken component of this diet was an array of experimental opioids and uppers that were handed out to housewives like tic-tacs.

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

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.

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.

[–] chemical_cutthroat 20 points 1 week ago (3 children)

There was another one, don't know if it was from the same list or not, but it was the all beet diet. Just beets. Season and cook them however you want, but that is all you are allowed to have. Period. My stepdad did the diet and nearly lost his goddamned mind.

I read one in a magazine that was for more than 3 days, and it suggested only drinking milk instead of water.
The reasoning was:

  • fat cells are mostly water
  • so not drinking water will "dry out" the fat cells
  • drinking milk is fine because your stomach acid turns it into a solid, so it isn't liquid anymore

Nutritional advice used to be wild.

This must have been written by Hunter Thompson

[–] Machinist 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

Hunter Thompson's routine according to E. Jean Carroll:

3:00 p.m. rise

3:05 Chivas Regal with the morning papers, Dunhills

3:45 cocaine

3:50 another glass of Chivas, Dunhill

4:05 first cup of coffee, Dunhill

4:15 cocaine

4:16 orange juice, Dunhill

4:30 cocaine

4:54 cocaine

5:05 cocaine

5:11 coffee, Dunhills

5:30 more ice in the Chivas

5:45 cocaine, etc., etc.

6:00 grass to take the edge off the day

7:05 Woody Creek Tavern for lunch-Heineken, two margaritas, coleslaw, a taco salad, a double order of fried onion rings, carrot cake, ice cream, a bean fritter, Dunhills, another Heineken, cocaine, and for the ride home, a snow cone (a glass of shredded ice over which is poured three or four jig­gers of Chivas)

9:00 starts snorting cocaine seriously

10:00 drops acid

11:00 Chartreuse, cocaine, grass

11:30 cocaine, etc, etc.

12:00 midnight, Hunter S. Thompson is ready to write

12:05-6:00 a.m. Chartreuse, cocaine, grass, Chivas, coffee, Heineken, clove cigarettes, grapefruit, Dunhills, orange juice, gin, continuous pornographic movies.

6:00 the hot tub-champagne, Dove Bars, fettuccine Alfredo

8:00 Halcyon

8:20 sleep

[–] ZeffSyde 23 points 1 week ago (3 children)

For those wondering, Halcyon is a benzo like Xanax and likely the only reason this guy had any chance at slumber.

Also, everyone should try hot tub champagne at least once, or it's low rent cousin the shower beer. Something about a cold bubbly beverage in a hot steamy environment enhances both pleasure.

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

Could always cut down on the eggs and add some tequila

[–] roguetrick 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

The wine is probably 500 Calories in carbs though. Edit: in addition to the alcohol.

Lemon juice at dinner guarantees that you reach max level of heartburn, if not yet.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (5 children)

The first time I ever experienced heartburn, it was so bad that I felt like a chestburster alien was trying to come out. I was absolutely desperate and immediately started trying the home remedies, none of which did shit.

I went to the doctor later and I was like, "This cannot be heartburn. I've seen the heartburn commercials and this is so much worse. And the commercials all have old men with heartburn."

Surprise! Chronic heartburn started as a 22-year-old woman.

One of many reasons that medications should not be allowed to be advertised on TV.

Diuretic diet. It works, but your piss will be brown at the end. Removing all the glycogen and water from your system can lose you over 5 pounds in a few days, but it won't change your shape.
