Seems perfectly reasonable to me
They left out the cigarettes.
In the 70s, it's probably just a given.
Not as good as The Butterfield Diet Plan
Shit your guts out, the diet.
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
Mostly of the weight loss would be water.
No carbs plus alcohol and coffee is just diuretics
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.
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.
I was going to say, sounds like the shit the wrestlers used to do back in high school. Always seemed wildly unhealthy.

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?
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.

Who says Americans don’t use the metric system?
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
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
You burn more calories peeling the boiled egg.
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
So get drunk and get skinny?
I don't think its working, I'm still fat.
P.S.
Its just a joke folks, you can chill
Lots of calories in beer. Need to move yourself over to neat spirits. Make sure that you spend all your money on them, so that you've nothing left to buy food. Then follow the diet posted above, but skip the eggs and replace the large glass of wine with a large glass of vodka. You'll lose a tonne of weight.
My old boss lost a load of weight when he switched from drinking beer to white wine spritzers when he was working. Did have to then switch to fizzy water after his wife gave him an earful for coming home drunk all the time though.
Like 30 years ago we used to have something called “wine coolers”. I don’t really see those anymore. There’s like Smirnoff Ice and Mikes Hard lemonade. Is that pretty much the same thing? Seems like the additional sugar would negate any weight loss when switching from beer.
No, it's just a 50:50 mix of white wine and soda water, so it has about half the calories of white wine. Very easy to drink a lot of in a hot kitchen though, so it's still a lot of wine.
Not that I'm encouraging drinking problems but this helped keep my weight in check in covid lock downs: Get Drunk, Not Fat
I had to wait until college to discover day drinking, why didn't the men's magazines BITD discuss this topic
Then rediscover it later in life when you work from home.
There are articles online about people trying this diet. At least one girl said it worked, but obviously the amount you lose would depend on Your starting weight and You would lose mostly water.
1970s: vegetables smegetables
Oddly it still seems like people were not as overweight back then.
The black coffee and nicotine are effective appetite suppressants
Butthole widening diet.
