Poached if necessary
Just throwing in a little shame for free
I wonder when poached eggs are necessary
Tired of boiled maybe, like necessary for your sanity
I choose to see it as stealing eggs from the nests of eagles and condors.
I must add, the gas I would produce on this diet would for sure violate the Geneva Suggestions
username checks out.
Sgt Johnson: “Master Chief, use the space lasers!”
John: “wookie battle cry”
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
Found the Canadian. “It’s never a war crime the first time”.
Why the coffee for dinner?
My guess is the caffeine shuts off the appetite, hence having it at every meal.
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.
Yup. Stopped adding sugar when I discovered there was better coffee than Dunkin’s.
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 coffee. Provided it’s quality sugar.
Here come the men in black
Sugar with no black is the best coffee, provided it’s a quality brew
If you go black… Wait what are we talking about?
You can’t go back
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 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
Today is one of these days when a poached egg is necessary.
The excessive amounts of white wine is actually the only thing here that saves you from scurvy.
I don’t think that you’ll get scurvy in the 3 days of this diet. 😆🍋
Excessive you say? Hmm…seems like the bare minimum.
Excellent reference. I think about this at least once per week.
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.
Military diet, I remember that. Did that as a kid for a month or so
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 feel like one would lose their mind looking at the toilet afterwards. I imagine it looks like you shit out blood clots
Sounds like the only-kale diet I read about.
I wonder if some of those were just the result of a dare between magazine writers.I suppose it’s one way to lose weight. It wouldn’t be long before I decide to choose hunger over even more fucking beets
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 get rid of most of the fat cells
- drinking milk doesn’t add water because your stomach acid turns it into a solid, so it isn’t liquid anymore
Nutritional advice used to be wild.
In my experience “nutritional advice” changes completely every 7 years on average. In 2032 we’ll probably be saying “nutritional advice used to be wild” about a lot of what we’re taking for granted right now.
Keto, carnivore and low-carb is my guess.

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.
Fun fact: Nikola Tesla suggested to drink a bit of… burbon or the like before bed.
He also had to walk around a building a 3 times before entering. It’s a wonder he got anything done.
Every innovator of the early 20th century was a mentally ill alcoholic.

France?
If this was Balkan, it would have been espresso.
Finland. Coffee, cigarette, and vodka. Called blöro
Ahh, so not apricot brandy… Oh well.
Enjoy the sauna!
I take the smaller glass is “little water”
Such a foodie
Shit. Where you getting the money for so many cigarettes? Best I can do is drag a two pack of Swisher Sweets out over the week.
When is it “neccessary” to poach an egg instead of hard boil? I guess the 70s was a strange time. It was half a century ago and no one had computers or cell phones back then. I think people sat around and played monopoly.
One bottle a day per person. Boooo. Maybe get the double sized bottle then. The cheap ones they sell at the drugstore. And drinking water and coffee in the same meal, nice. Maybe mix them together. It says chablis only, a regional subset of chardonays. Seems a little bit strict-- I again blame the 70s.
OK damnit, I’m in with you OP. First one to -5 pounds (or death) wins. Shall we bet?
Winner gets the others leftover eggs
I have to forfeit. just went to 3 stores, no eggs to be had till wednesday I heard. I guess you win, and you get all my leftover eggs.
I think the poaching was only mentioned cause it’s in vogue and it had to make the reader feel bougie.
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
The wine is probably 500 Calories in carbs though.
True, but I don’t drink alcohol unless it’s a dry wine, or a low carb seltzer.
Low calorie seltzers dont exist. They just aren’t required to include alcohol in the Calorie count. One ounce of pure alcohol is about 250 Calories.
I don’t pay attention to calories, just the carbs I intake. However I have to watch my intake of alcohol because it will mess with your metabolism.
I could 100% live on this diet. It is probably almost as healthy as I eat now.
Anyone actually doing something like that has a problem.
We all have problems.
eating disorders have been around forever :( we just have the language to describe it now
And no supper? I would definitely die without coffee, hard boiled egg and a glass of wine for supper.
It looks like they’ve never heard of second breakfast, either.
