ah yes, the trembling alcoholic 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.
Very similar to The Drinking Man’s Diet.
I must add, the gas I would produce on this diet would for sure violate the Geneva Suggestions
Clearly the key to success is how hard-boiled the eggs are.
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.
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.
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…
Replace the egg by a croissant, add a cigarette after each meal. Become condescending. Move to France. Blend in.
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.
