I think you’d be better off just not eating for three days, only drinking water.
It makes me wonder if the alcohol is to distract you. Lol
Oh, it is. Basically some wine over “fml” so it’s more tolerable.
At least they added caffeine, which is often added in weight loss remedies to bump up metabolism, and that does have some science behind it.
Getting heartburn just by reading this…
Its the real life version of the Butterfield Diet
You can substitute beer for the wine. Remember Kiddies, there is a pork chop’s worth of calories in every bottle! This is why diabetics prefer beer of a real chop! ./////JKing!
This is NOT accurate dietary and medical advice!
White wine with steak? Blasphemy!
The white wine was for the eggs, which works, and the steak is just collateral because finishing the bottle.
1 bottle of white ~ 600 calories
3 hard boiled eggs - 225 calories
5 oz steak ~ 325 calories
For a total of 1150 calories. You’ll need to be pretty active for a 5 lbs loss but you’d definitely lose some weight on this diet. Now I do not envy the heinous shits a diet of pure protein, coffee, and white wine will give you
5lb of fat is 17500 kcal. An additional 3450 kcal consumed brings that to 20950 kcal you’d have to expend in three days, or just under 7000 kcal/day. That’s Olympic athlete level, isn’t it?
Mostly of the weight loss would be water.
No carbs plus alcohol and coffee is just diuretics
No carbs
An entire bottle of white wine a day
Google results are showing to me that are at most 30g in a bottle of red dry wine.
That’s like a potato or something
Plus anything that was in your intestines / bowels. There’s no fibre in there at all.
I used to have to “make weight” and water and empty intestines are the short version of how it’s done.
So if we add some weetabix to the morning meal it’s basically a perfect diet! I’ll start experimenting tomorrow, I’ve already ordered 30 bottles of wine
Protip: Use white wine instead of milk for your cereal. Turbo charge your morning shit by blending it together with four shots of espresso and a whole cigarette!
Top advice!
Oh hey that’s the main way men get eating disorders!
Is that true? It wouldn’t surprise me. When I was competing in that weight category sport I had a very skewed view of what I considered overweight (for me).
99% of the population would have considered me lean as fuck when I thought otherwise.
Unironically yeah. There’s more ways for a girl to pick up a restrictive eating disorder (family pressure, wider social pressure, more sports that care about weight like gymnastics and dance) but men can absolutely still get one and this is the most common way. And I really should have specified restrictive because binge eating disorder is pretty common in both sexes. Although orthorexia is also kinda coming into vogue for both sexes.
I was going to say, sounds like the shit the wrestlers used to do back in high school. Always seemed wildly unhealthy.
Imo weight class should be determined by an average of a bunch of weigh-ins for weeks or months before an event. Then, on the day of the event, allow some tolerance over the max weight but only if the average stays under. If the average creeps up into the tolerance zone, then they go up a weight class. Make the weight classes based on healthy habits rather than basically cheating in an unhealthy way to make weight a day before, then bulking back up to whatever weight for the actual fight.
Not that I have any stake in any of that, so my say isn’t really relevant.
There’s no good solution IMO. There’s a way to game everything. Ultimately it boils down to: You don’t want hefty people fighting little people. A 24 hour weigh in causes a small number of folks to go to extremes and a weigh in just before fighting could have someone fighting dehydrated.
Nearly everyone runs a 6 or 8 week run up to a fight where they’re constantly losing weight. For me it was pure numbers. e.g. I’m 7KG over fighting weight with 6 weeks to go. It’s a 1000 calorie a day deficit with maintenance days here and there and shift 2 - 2.5 by making weight.
You’ve 24 hours to rehydrate and it’s enough IMO.
The trouble comes when you’ve lads trying to shift 5KG in 48 hours. It causes death. Maybe a weigh in 3 days out then another with 24 hours to go would work. Tough nut to crack though.
Sounds conplicated, how about we just try more runnin’ in a trash bag.
If you’re only eating protein you don’t need fiber.
And your brain won’t work because it requires at least 110 grams of carbs to function normally. Then you might start saying things like “if you’re only eating protein you don’t need fibre”
Gluconeogenesis is a thing. So while correct, it doesn’t have to be dietary carbs.
Fair enough, that being said, eating exclusively protein is still likely to result in death from nutrient deficiency, kidney overload, protein poisoning, the list goes on.
But thats not as funny.
Though a fruit only diet, that’s funny.
All those negatives notwithstanding, you still don’t need fiber in your diet if you’re only eating protein.
Oh god your poor anal tract.
Why?
If you lose more than water weight in 3 days, it’s probably due to traumatic illness or amputation.
Or a change in plans for space flight!
The avg person expending 2000 Calories a day means an ~850 Calorie deficit. 2550 deficit over the course of 3days. That allows about 3lbs of muscle (700C) loss or almost 1lb of fat (3000-3500C)loss.
Up the calories expended via being active and you could reach the 5lb goal. With such severe caloric deficit nost of the weight loss would be muscle unfortunately.
Isn’t there enough protein in that diet to maintain the muscle?
If caloric intake was higher sure. Muscle breakdown is easier than fat so is a prime target in starvation diets to get energy. Results in long-lasting problems for people who have experienced famine or eating disorders. More moderate caloric deficits are healthier for a reason but obviously takes longer to lose weight.
There’s a lot of variability in nutrition that can impact things but generally protein in the diet helps maintain and grow muscle but doesn’t affect that when your body is starving for energy muscle tends to go more than fat.
Nutritional fads including the current lots of protein one are likely bunk or only for certain lifestyles.
I’m not familiar with this so am interested; presumably there’s a calorie deficit where more fat is consumed than muscle? Where does it switch?
It is complex, precise dietary requirements vary person to person (even mouse to mouse but less for lab strains). As a generality women have lower caloric requirements, men higher. Age, height, weight, activity level, genetics, etc all have impacts.
The timeline of caloric restriction matters. Muscle breakdown occurs first because muscles store glycogen which is a much faster energy source than fat. Fat breakdown can go on for longer as it has a higher density of energy. Simple short-term reduction in calories thus results in muscle before fat. Higher protein intake mitigates or prevents muscle loss in longer-term diets compared to lower protein intake as the muscle cells are used to process/use the protein. Exercise is the best at keeping or growing muscle as it turns them from energy providers to energy users.
Resistance training. When on a calorie deficit while doing weight training, you will lose less muscle. You’ll still lose some, but your body will try to rebuild the muscle using proteins and stored nutrients.
Well you’re clearly not sleeping
Depending where you start it would probably keep up a 2 to 3 pound a week loss until you get down to around 120lbs, then it would slow down.
Some stinky ass farts coming from an all egg and beef diet.
Not a single vegetable or fruit either (because of course I’m not counting the wine or lemon juice.) At least throw in some celery for fiber.
Don’t worry. You and everyone you know is chain-smoking cigarettes all the time. Nobody will notice.
Cigarettes used to make me need to shit really bad. I can’t even imagine combining that with the Vogue diet of a boiled egg, glass of wine and black coffee. Sounds like a recipe for a day on the toilet!
I think we cracked the code. This “diet” is just bulimia with extra steps.
Yup, out the tail pipe instead of facing the toilet.
The good ol days
It was in fashion at the time. The all important question of “Do you fart with that ass?” was finally silenced for one glorious year.
Silenced, but still deadly.
They left out the cigarettes.
In the 70s, it’s probably just a given.
I’d prefer Sauvignon Blanc but sacrifices have to be made.
TIL psyop advertising has been around since the 70s…
It’s been around since Ancient Rome. They didn’t call it psychology, but where they put the Flavian Arena (aka. “The Colliseum”) is done to increase patronage. Additionally, stoking the crowd to foment an opinion agreeable to the State (e.g. the Emperor in Ancient Rome) was strong using theatrics.
What’s the difference between a boiled egg and a poached egg? Theyre both just the egg cooked in water one with shell and one without
You burn more calories peeling the boiled egg.
I like how it says “if necessary.” Like what possible scenario exists where it’s necessary to poach an egg instead of hard boiling it lol
If you’re staring at that hardboiled egg thinking. “I can’t do it. I can’t eat one more of those…”
Fine, if you’re going to be a baby about it, poach it, instead
I imagine that eating exactly the same thing for multiple days would get tiring to say the least, so at least a different preparation would be welcome. Probably not necessary in the literal sense, but in the sense that you “need” something different.
maybe if the shell got a bit cracked before cooking? Might as well poach it at that point since it’ll just leak a bunch of albumen into the pot anyways
The crunch mostly.
I’m all for morning drinking, but pairing a dry white with boiled eggs just doesn’t seem like a good match
Look at the friggin sommelier over here
A fatty chardonnay could do
Fatty Chardonnay will be your nickname at the tennis club.
This is why I tend to avoid tennis clubs
That’s okay Fatty Chardonnay.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me
Shit your guts out, the diet.
poached if necessary
I’m trying to picture what sort of necessity is that.
Oh no! My Instagram account can’t handle another boiled egg!
Out of necessity for not spending the rest of my life in prison because I’m about to murder someone if I eat another goddamn hard boiled egg.
You get in prison, you’ll have to eat 50 eggs
You forgot to hardboil eggs and need some quickly?
QUICK it’s an EGG EMERGENCY
