This was my diet as an alcoholic, just add 4 more glasses around noon so I pass out and miss dinner lmao

This is also when smoking was allowed on airplanes. 😄

This is pretty close to what my “naturally thin” Boomer mother eats every day, although she prefers Gewurztraminer to Chablis and doesn’t start drinking until lunchtime. So that’s one way to keep your figure, I guess.

My gut feels gross just reading this!

I love that it says “poached if necessary” as if that actually effects the nutritional value, and if you happen to be too weak willed to eat a boiled egg.

Omg imagine the farts these poor ladies must have had. No one around to judge your weight when you’ve gassed them all to death, I guess.

I do not wanna smell the breath, farts or shits of anyone following this diet. 🤢

So this would put someone in ketosis probably(?) depending how the wine hits. But weirdly it’s actually about 1200 calories which is low but enough for a lot of women (on a diet). Prob stop die of liver failure or what it but interesting that the calories themselves are not the problem. You’d probably end up being sick as a dog but technically it’s enough calories. Would never do this diet.

I don’t eat eggs, drink coffee, or drink alcohol, what am I left with 😩 a 5 oz lemon juice and pepper steak?

The drinking man’s diet was the precursor to the Atkins diet which preceded the keto diet.

It was first published in *Sex and the Single Girl* by Helen Gurley Brown in 1962. Vogue reprinted in 1977.
The original diet was 3-5 boiled or poached eggs, 5oz of steak without sauce, and 1 710ml bottle of wine of choice. Consumed in whatever order you like.
The breakdown, wine specification, and addition of coffee was all Vogue

A bottle of wine a day?? Pretty expensive diet

with so little food and so much alcohol, this person was sloshed all day long.

I swear someone much more recently tried this, made it like a day and a half, and felt so sick, but she did lose weight. :/
Also, as unhealthy as this is, you’re only supposed to do it for 3 days. Even drinking this much, doing it for just 3 days isn’t bad enough to cause you permanent damage.

Instructions unclear. Am wasted and starving.

2 poached eggs, two glasses of Chardonnay, a cup of hot black coffee and baby you got a stew goin’

I feel like they forgot to add how many cigarettes should be paired with the wine
