      Yeah it is keto + OBOWAD. Alcohol inhibits fat metabolism so I would expect this to be less effective than keto for fat loss.

      When I was keto I could have 1 serving of alcohol a day and that seemed to actually help prevent plateaus, probably due to diuretic effects. However, 2 or more drinks in a meal and I wouldn’t lose or would even gain due to inflammation. I don’t think I tried drinking 1-2 per meal for more than one meal a day.

      My doctor thinks that’s reasonable. French in his sixties.

      To be fair they had the whole “I’m not drinking more than one Litre of wine per day!” in the nineties (maybe eighties), pronounced by popular actors and so.

        there was also the “french are having less coronary diseases that must be because of wine!” craze as well, which I think has been recently debunked. not that there is anything wrong with a good glass of red wine, it is just not a substitute for genetic luck, healthy diet and brisk walking when it comes to coronary health.

    my wife and I tried this for a couple weeks and it works but I’d recommend putting the steak at lunchtime or breakfast if you’re at all active before dinner.

    I nearly passed out when I tried to exercise before dinner steak. Next time I had the steak for lunch and was A OK.

      I got curious and asked chatgpt to calculate things for me. It suggests that if doozens of eggs cost you more than 5$ you can save money if you raise your own chicken.

      In the first year, considering initial costs for setup and equipment, you may not save much—perhaps only $10 to $50. However, after the first year, the ongoing costs (mainly feed) could result in savings of $50 to $100 annually for each hen you keep.

        Chickens get sick extremely easy and require a LOT of time for extra care and maintenance of their boxes.

        For an amateur, the first years will be as much if not harder.

        But my guess is if someone can’t make the 30 USD a month it takes to eat 2 daily eggs, they surely are not struggling for free time

        Growing up we had 4 egg laying hens. We were swimming in eggs. Literally had to plan meals and baking and whatnot around how many eggs we had. We fed them to our dogs. Granted, it was just my mom and I, but damn we had eggs.

      Wait how expensive are eggs in the USA? In Germany I pay 3.50 Euros (3.65$) for a dozen organic eggs. Make that 2.20 for non-organic not free-range

        The average dozen is about 3 USD

        2 daily eggs, give or take, is about 30 usd a month

        So they have to be a total destitute to not reach that in a month given the complexities on preparing the eggs (iev boiling). Ironic, given that they seem to have a good internet connection and a device for it

          That’s the average in (early) 2024. With bird flu the current commodity price is 7/dozen and expected to rise. The joke above was meant to reference the sudden and alarming spike in egg prices. Without public health intervention things could get pretty bad.

          I think your math is off. At 3$/dozen 2 eggs a day is 1doz/6 days 30/6 =5 5x3 = 15$/month

          The reason it hurts when egg prices go up is because eggs were (and are still) some of the most cost-effective protein (especially as a whole protein) you can buy and eggs are in everything.

    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. Edit: in addition to the alcohol.

          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.

    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 wine 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?

    I know someone who gets the shits from egg yokes and also coffee on occasion. This diet would work well for them because they’d shit themselves inside out after 3 days of this.

    It’s a distant ancestor to the hunter s Thompson diet. It just needs more drugs.

    Not a veggie in sight, so your whole digestive motility was based on alcoholic diarrhea. (Been there…)

    So fashionable to shit yourself in public in white dresses.

      The dozen is about 3 USD.

      Even if it was 5 USD, what, you can’t spend like 30 USD a mont to eat 2 eggs on the morning for each day?

      Come on
