If most of the food you eat is wrapped in plastic or in a box, it’s not going to be any different.
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
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
User name checks out.
Basically yes.
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.
They aren’t done until you get an even green layer around the yolk.
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
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.
Clearly the key to success is how hard-boiled the eggs are.
I was a little curious why the egg has to be hard boiled.
The thing is, flavor wasnt invented until about 1980
Which is wild considering the spice trades of the… (according to the internet, prehistory through modernity, so that’s a thing…)
I have to assume that 1950s housewives were so thoroughly drugged up that they couldn’t tell the difference…
I know that they made everything in jello/aspic because gelatin was formerly a luxury, like sugar and basically any spices, so they went a bit batshit when they got cheap access…
I’ve been watching Sandwiches of History on YT lately, and noticing how much anchovy paste he goes through. I’m certain that 100 years ago, people were smoking so many cigarettes they had no sense of tastes except for the strongest concentrates.
Anchovy paste makes sense, much like using soy sauce or fish sauce or miso paste or even tomato paste does. You just don’t use a ton of it. It doesn’t necessarily taste fishy, but it adds a lot of umami and salt. It improves most soups, for example.
No butter or margarine maybe?
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.
That’s nuts. I just assumed it was because hardboiled eggs are cooked without additional fat
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.
Does celery have a lot of protein? TIL
No, but it also isn’t calorie-neutral, or calorie-reducing like fad diets claim…
ah yes, the trembling alcoholic diet
Very similar to The Drinking Man’s Diet.
tbf when I was young and single and would go out 4 times a week I was the skiniest I’ve ever been
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.
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
Young is doing a lot of lifting.
Just as I never had to when I was young…
On a single bottle of wine?
Wine + coffee
But you would build resistance to both over about three weeks.
That’s why theyre trembling.
tummy ache city
I would absolutely vomit on this diet.
I guess that’s the point? Besides, it’s only three days
I’m pretty sure fasting for 3 days would have the same weight loss effect and be healthier.
Or just do the sort of liquid diet that you need to do before a colonoscopy or something like that.
That’ll help with your figure even more!
I must add, the gas I would produce on this diet would for sure violate the Geneva Suggestions
My uncle has an enforced limit on deviled eggs at family gatherings for similar reasons.
“We highly recommend gassing civilians indiscriminately is like probably not really the best idea.”

Geneva Suggestions
Found the account of US government
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. /s
Yeah right, you give me that much wine and I’m eating all the escargot.
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.
That is absolutely insane. Black coffee? What am I a savage?
That was exactly how I felt I was treated when I was 20 and visited the US.
Asked for a small Cup of coffee in Starbucks, and the girl asked me 3 times if I was absolutely sure I wanted it without cream and sugar.
Black with sugar is the best coffee.
Black with no sugar is the best coffee, provided it’s a quality brew.
Man, I’ve never found any coffee that was good enough for straight black. Just sugar or just milk/cream, sure. But I always need to cut the bitterness or the acidity.
If you can find some Guatemalan coffee, it’s amazing black. Colombian is a close second Imo.
Sugar with no black is the best coffee, provided it’s a quality brew
Yup. Stopped adding sugar when I discovered there was better coffee than Dunkin’s.
Sugar, with no coffee. Provided it’s quality sugar.
Here come the men in black
If you go black… Wait what are we talking about?
You can’t go back
It’s a distant ancestor to the hunter s Thompson diet. It just needs more drugs.
It’s the 70s, same time and concept. It’s just that it was undignified to acknowledge the drugs housewives were on st the time
There were dinosaurs in the place, and some fucker was serving them alcohol
I thought we were talking about a movie not real life ahahahah hahahahahaha LOLOLOLOLOLOL
People eat way worse than this and manage to live through it (for a while).
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.)

Feels like the Lucille Bluth diet.
“It’s what’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner…”
Lemon juice at dinner guarantees that you reach max level of heartburn, if not yet.
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.
I had heartburn when I started eating really unhealthily and putting off exercise around the time before I went vegan. Because I didn’t know what I was doing at first I dropped a ton of weight, then gained some of it back when I discovered the array of processed vegan junk food.
I rarely get it now (despite eating super spicy foods constantly) but when I do it’s after I haven’t been active for awhile—in other words when I start getting fat.
I had horrible heartburn throughout my 20s and into my 30s. Mentioned it to every doctor. It would keep me up at night. It would hurt like a bitch and I’d often feel like i was throwing up. One new doctor was like, “you ever try a food allergen panel?”
Turns out, I’m allergic to caesin. It’s a protein in pretty much all dairy. Stopped having dairy products and heartburn is 99% gone.
Moral of the story: heartburn can be caused by a tonne of reasons and it’s hard to pinpoint if there’s even something concrete to even point to
DIET: WINE AND EGGS
