Day one! It's a low activity day, so I would think I'll survive!

I hope you ha e a wine glass from the 1970s as they are much smaller than they are now.

But bottles aren’t, and it says you can have whole one over the day.

I am tempted to do this but not with Chablis, it would have to be Pino Grigiot

It's missing the bifters.

Yup. You need at least 20 a day to get through that.

I'm having cheapo sauvignon blanc from Lidl, and so far so good

Thank you OP for carrying out this scientific experiment for us.

How long will you be doing it for?

Ah, they lost me at steak.

I know 🤣

SinnerBoy · 12/06/2023 13:39

Blimey, it's like a low carbohydrate diet, with booze!

Ooh loving this and following too lol. I think maybe ok as a holiday beside a pool diet, I’m not sure how well I would function at work on this one. I always get very hungry when drinking alcohol unless I’m absolutely plastered, I would have thought a cigarette would be better diet suppressant

mosiacmaker · 12/06/2023 13:42

Hunger suppressant *

DataNotLore · 12/06/2023 13:45

You need twenty fags a day to do it right

Rollinghill · 12/06/2023 13:46

@momager1 that made me cackle!

TheMurderousGoose · 12/06/2023 13:46

I feel like to do this diet authentically you also need a handsome and brooding lover who you will have tempestuous (post-boozy lunch) fights with.

Ooh yes, a young Oliver Tobias or Michael Praed

Or her off Evanescence

On a zoom call and can definitely feel the wine

Never heard of Oliver Tobias before but googling shows me his younger self would have made a splendidly brooding romantic partner!

cathyandclare · 12/06/2023 14:24

I bet Joan Collins would have given the wine, eggs, and probably fags, diet and good go back in the day. Then back to the hard work of swinging naked on a swing with a brooding Oliver. No zoom calls for her!

Weight Watchers are really missing some tricks

Pontipin · 12/06/2023 14:28

“Zoom calls” - has there ever been a less erotic phrase?

adviceseeker22 · 12/06/2023 15:22

I just did a 30min barre session and definitely felt it!
