    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

          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.

    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.

        I was always skinny, no matter my diet or exercise etc. until I turned 30. I’m a bit above normal now, not fat but got some stuff to tug on. Looking back at photos from my crazy party years is scary, almost feels like a miracle that I’m still alive. I was so damn skinny and had almost green skin colour, just sickly looking. That’ll definitely come and bite me in the ass in older days.

        When I was 20 I ate pizza and drank soft drinks every day for two years straight and I was fine. Having the youth and body that allows you to make tons of mistakes is great.

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

    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.

      The first time I ever experienced heartburn, it was so bad that I felt like a chestburster alien was trying to come out. I was absolutely desperate and immediately started trying the home remedies, none of which did shit.

      I went to the doctor later and I was like, “This cannot be heartburn. I’ve seen the heartburn commercials and this is so much worse. And the commercials all have old men with heartburn.”

      Surprise! Chronic heartburn started as a 22-year-old woman.

      One of many reasons that medications should not be allowed to be advertised on TV.

        I had heartburn when I started eating really unhealthily and putting off exercise around the time before I went vegan. Because I didn’t know what I was doing at first I dropped a ton of weight, then gained some of it back when I discovered the array of processed vegan junk food.

        I rarely get it now but when I do it’s after I haven’t been active for awhile—in other words when I start getting fat.

        I had horrible heartburn throughout my 20s and into my 30s. Mentioned it to every doctor. It would keep me up at night. It would hurt like a bitch and I’d often feel like i was throwing up. One new doctor was like, “you ever try a food allergen panel?”

        Turns out, I’m allergic to caesin. It’s a protein in pretty much all dairy. Stopped having dairy products and heartburn is 99% gone.

        Moral of the story: heartburn can be caused by a tonne of reasons and it’s hard to pinpoint if there’s even something concrete to even point to

          Which is wild considering the spice trades of the… (according to the internet, prehistory through modernity, so that’s a thing…)

          I have to assume that 1950s housewives were so thoroughly drugged up that they couldn’t tell the difference…

          I know that they made everything in jello/aspic because gelatin was formerly a luxury, like sugar and basically any spices, so they went a bit batshit when they got cheap access…

            I’ve been watching Sandwiches of History on YT lately, and noticing how much anchovy paste he goes through. I’m certain that 100 years ago, people were smoking so many cigarettes they had no sense of tastes except for the strongest concentrates.

              Anchovy paste makes sense, much like using soy sauce or fish sauce or miso paste or even tomato paste does. You just don’t use a ton of it. It doesn’t necessarily taste fishy, but it adds a lot of umami and salt. It improves most soups, for example.

        Because it’s harder to digest! The point is, you use more calories digesting a hard boiled egg than you get from it. Or so the theory was at the time.

          Well that’s just fucking nonsense. At least the celery myth starts on the premise that celery has 15 calories a serving instead of an egg, a food literally packed with all the calories and protein you need to make a baby chicken.
