Vogue’s 3-day diet: eggs and wine to lose 2.5 kg

A fad diet, or a lightning diet , which comes directly from the seventies, and a little something before: traces of this 3-day diet can already be found in a book that appeared in the sixties,  Sex and the Single Girl, whose author, Helen Gurley Brown, she later became editor of Vogue. And it is from a later publication in Vogue that this 3-day diet went viral. But what does Vogue’s 3-day diet consist of? In eggs and wine (white, sparkling, in practice Prosecco or Chablis) to eat for 3 days in a row apart from dinner to lose 2 kg and a half. Yes, I know, it’s quite creepy. According to its creator, this 3-day diet allows you not only to lose 2.5 kg immediately, but to make you feel “sexy and exuberant”. And I believe you!

Here is what the Vogue 3-day diet proposes:
Breakfast: a hard-boiled egg, a cup of coffee without sugar or milk, a glass of prosecco.
Lunch: two hard-boiled eggs, two glasses of prosecco, a cup of coffee without sugar or milk.
Dinner: 150 grams of grilled meat (steak) with lemon juice and pepper, a cup of coffee without sugar or milk, a glass of prosecco.
We don’t eat anything else for 3 days. Do you lose weight? Of course. I really can’t believe it. For two reasons. 1) Alcohol dehydrates. It is the reason why it should always be limited in proper nutrition. 2) Lack of carbohydrates leads to initial fluid loss


But can we really confuse fluid loss with real weight loss? Obviously it’s stupid.
Combine the two and you have a diet that quickly empties you of 2 kg and a half of liquids, which you will take back at the first fruit.
There is also the third factor to consider: food poverty which translates into less than a thousand calories a day. Prosecco in fact provides 70 calories per 100 ml, which translates into about 550 calories for 4 glasses. Steak and eggs provide no more than 500. One thousand calories for a 3-day diet are doable as a very short-term remedy., following a period in which we overdid the diet. It is not a sustainable number for those who have to lose more than that half a kilo caused by previous binges. And even then, there are more balanced quick diets than one that aims at dehydration.
