Would be more efficient if she'd also smoke 30 cigarettes a day.

It's the 70s. The cigarettes are implied haha
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.
True, but I don't drink alcohol unless it's a dry wine, or a low carb seltzer.
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 could 100% live on this diet. It is probably almost as healthy as I eat now.
Three eggs a day? In this economy!?
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
I was at the grocery store yesterday $6 a dozen was the lowest price one they had
$8.99 for 12 in California
The average dozen is about 3 USD
2 daily eggs, give or take, is about 30 usd a month
So they have to be a total destitute to not reach that in a month given the complexities on preparing the eggs (iev boiling). Ironic, given that they seem to have a good internet connection and a device for it
I think your math is off. At 3$/dozen 2 eggs a day is 1doz/6 days 30/6 =5 5x3 = 15$/month
The reason it hurts when egg prices go up is because eggs were (and are still) some of the most cost-effective protein (especially as a whole protein) you can buy and eggs are in everything.
That's the average in (early) 2024. With bird flu the current commodity price is 7/dozen and expected to rise. The joke above was meant to reference the sudden and alarming spike in egg prices. Without public health intervention things could get pretty bad.
This guy gets it
Trump is going to bring the egg price down any day now
The Gulf of How Does This Lower Grocery Prices
Egg in a hole is the new avocado toast
I got curious and asked chatgpt to calculate things for me. It suggests that if doozens of eggs cost you more than 5$ 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.
I would sub out a decent bottled in bond bourbon for the wine. But overall I approve of the diet.
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 think the poaching was only mentioned cause it's in vogue and it had to make the reader feel bougie.
Winner gets the others leftover eggs
I have to forfeit. just went to 3 stores, no eggs to be had till wednesday I heard. I guess you win, and you get all my leftover eggs.
Replace the egg by a croissant, add a cigarette after each meal. Become condescending. Move to France. Blend in.
Imagine that being your fuel for every day. Oh, and while you're at it, wrangle one or more small [animal-like] children all day, keep the entire house clean, and dinner better be ready when I get home--it's been a hard day at work. And stop being such a bitch, eh?
The booze was less of a diet aid and more of an anti-psychotic, I assume.
This diet was easy with a health dose of amphetamines. Wine took the edge off.
With a healthy enough dose, you can speedrun this by cutting the eggs, coffee, wine, and steak.

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.
Unspoken component of this diet was an array of experimental opioids and uppers that were handed out to housewives like tic-tacs.

What ties it together for me is suggesting that poached egg for Lunch is acceptable, as if they understand the horrors of war experienced during breakfast
