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

[–] new_guy@lemmy.world 126 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Mostly of the weight loss would be water.

No carbs plus alcohol and coffee is just diuretics

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago (15 children)

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!

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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.

If you lose more than water weight in 3 days, it's probably due to traumatic illness or amputation.

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.

They left out the cigarettes.

Some stinky ass farts coming from an all egg and beef diet.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 65 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Don't worry. You and everyone you know is chain-smoking cigarettes all the time. Nobody will notice.

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.

I'm all for morning drinking, but pairing a dry white with boiled eggs just doesn't seem like a good match

[–] pishadoot@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago

Look at the friggin sommelier over here

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A fatty chardonnay could do

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fatty Chardonnay will be your nickname at the tennis club.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is why I tend to avoid tennis clubs

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

That’s okay Fatty Chardonnay.

[–] shweddy@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 54 points 1 week ago

You burn more calories peeling the boiled egg.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

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

The crunch mostly.

[–] UncleArthur@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

I'd prefer Sauvignon Blanc but sacrifices have to be made.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Seems perfectly reasonable to me

I’m trying to picture what sort of necessity is that.

Oh no! My Instagram account can’t handle another boiled egg!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

Shit your guts out, the diet.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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

[–] addie@feddit.uk 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Simon_Shitewood@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

I think you'd be better off just not eating for three days, only drinking water.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It makes me wonder if the alcohol is to distract you. Lol

This will technically do what it says on the tin but there are definitely better diets to achieve the same, haha.

And if you're anything like me, counting calories will be going out the window pretty shortly after polishing off that daily bottle.
