    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.

      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.

      My doctor thinks that’s reasonable. French in his sixties.

      To be fair they had the whole “I’m not drinking more than one Litre of wine per day!” in the nineties (maybe eighties), pronounced by popular actors and so.

    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

      I’m also intrigued as to why they think hard boiling vs poaching the egg has any bearing on its calorie content.

        I heard some foods have more calories when they’re cooked versus uncooked because it puts them in a form that is easier for your body to process, but I don’t think it’s anywhere as granular as hard boiled versus poached lol.

          Yeah, that’s plausible for cooking in general, but boiling vs poaching is a pretty fine distinction.

        Pochwd has high probability you will eat the yolk which has the highest calories of all the egg

        Hard boiled you can just take out the solid yolk out and not eat it.

          Why would you do that? Are there people who prefer the white? If so, they need to be my friends, we would be compatible.

            Are there people who don’t prefer the white??? I love boiled egg whites so much I could just have a bowl of them next to me if I wasn’t so lazy to boil and peel

            On a hard boiled egg? yes. HB yolks taste like butter chalk to me. I don’t mind yolks in things, but their individual flavor and texture in HB is lacking to me.

              You have boiled it too long then. Hard boiled doesn’t need to be taken literally as boiled until tough and rubbery. I aim for just past “jammy” yolks, the white completely set, the yolk fully cooked but only just. That is done by putting them in boiling water, 9 minutes or a little less, immediately cool by draining them filling the pot with ice.

                For textbook perfect boiled eggs, place the eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil then cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Wait 10 minutes since the eggs under cool water and peel immediately.

                  I used to do that but lowering them into boiling water works a lot better for me, can get ramen eggs, soft, hard boiled, the timing somehow always works out even though they can’t possibly be going in at exactly the same temperature every time. The boil and wait 10 gets them too cooked.

                  I do also poke a hole in the empty end of the egg, with a pin, and this makes 'em easier to peel.

                I’d certinly give that texture is configurable. But there’s something in that yolk that I don’t care to deal with without some serious masking. I don’t even like deviled eggs.

    There’s a lot of days when I eat less and drink more.

    The diet works, you guys. I haven’t been this light in like 23 years, and back then I was quite a bit shorter. (Which is why I don’t use the word thin. I’ve never been this thin.)

    edit (it’s 19:12 and my “breakfast” is this bottle of Dr Pepper that I put a few fingers of rum into)

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

    It’s a distant ancestor to the hunter s Thompson diet. It just needs more drugs.
