I'm doing the eggs and wine diet for the giggles

[adviceseeker22]

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

Exactly. Crisps just go too well with wine. I could probably happily live on crisps and wine for a few days, mind.

Your arse will stink but you’ll be too pissed to care!
(NRTWT so someone else might have said this already🤣)

I can't sleep properly if I've had more than 2 glasses of wine.

I'm invested to see if you actually lose 5lb. This diet was probably intended to be supplemented by a lot of cigarettes.

Came back from running 5 miles, it was more of a struggle. Had some extra water as I sweat more than average and a banana.

You're allowed water at least?

I know it's very little food but I can't see you losing anything significant in three days. You'd feel better, and lose more, with some sort of three day detox diet.

In the 70s Marina Andrews in the Sunday Express used to have some weird diets. I can remember one with cottage cheese and oranges.

You're nuts to do this diet and exercise in this heatwave!

Are you happily drunk yet?

No, I'm not YET. I had an issue with a fixed penalty, and that stopped me from drinking. My stomach is feeling it though (the lack of food that is).

Further update, had my two eggs for lunch, but my stomach isn't happy, so I'll either eat something like skyr or completely give up, not sure

I could probably do this, but not without salt. Eggs and steak without salt wouldn't work for me.

So I've more or less given up. The core is the same but can't have any more wine so switched to diet coke

And another 2lbs lost, so 5lbs total so far.

Well to be fair that's the result it suggested so a win for dodgy 70's diet tips!

and I still have one more day to go! If I end up losing 7lbs, then it did what it claimed it would do

Final balance 3kg/6lbs!

I might give this a go out of interest. I'm struggling to lose weight no matter what I do!

Well, most people will lose weight sticking to 1300 cals a day. But you'll put it back on again in five minutes after and more and keep doing that and you'll fuck up your metabolism and muscle tone and 1300 cals is all you'll be able to eat without gaining weight.

Very few women would lose 6lb in three days on 1300 calories. I also don’t think three days is enough to fuck up your metabolism.

I think this diet puts you into ketosis, so you get the appetite suppression and fluid loss of the first woosh. I’ve done a 3 day egg fast a few times ( more eggs, less wine) which has a similar effect. I tend to regain a pound or so but not the rest, but I eat a low carb diet in general.

Imagine combining this with the cabbage soup diet, that could be volcanic! 💨💨💨

That’s so interesting op. Thank you for taking this one for the team for us.

I'm glad you've given up. I was worried at the idea of you running again in this heat after only eggs and wine. 😱

There's an east fix to the black coffee. Just have extra wine in its place! 😅

She hasn’t given up @willahelmina, it was only ever designed for 3 days and, like the trooper she is, op carried on to the bitter end.

Not to poopoo your loss OP but I’m just musing… could it be dehydration that’s showing on the scales? I read once that bodybuilders would drink a bottle of wine the night before weigh in to lose a couple of lbs in water weight… maybe that’s why they include wine?
Or maybe it’s to make the rest of the diet more bearable 😆

I actually love eggs and wine. I’d give it a go myself but I’m worried about getting funny looks on the school run stinking of eggs & booze!
