    1 bottle of white ~ 600 calories

    3 hard boiled eggs - 225 calories

    5 oz steak ~ 325 calories

    For a total of 1150 calories. You’ll need to be pretty active for a 5 lbs loss but you’d definitely lose some weight on this diet. Now I do not envy the heinous shits a diet of pure protein, coffee, and white wine will give you

      Mostly of the weight loss would be water.

      No carbs plus alcohol and coffee is just diuretics

        If you lose more than water weight in 3 days, it’s probably due to traumatic illness or amputation.

        Plus anything that was in your intestines / bowels. There’s no fibre in there at all.

        I used to have to “make weight” and water and empty intestines are the short version of how it’s done.

            Is that true? It wouldn’t surprise me. When I was competing in that weight category sport I had a very skewed view of what I considered overweight (for me).

            99% of the population would have considered me lean as fuck when I thought otherwise.

              I was going to say, sounds like the shit the wrestlers used to do back in high school. Always seemed wildly unhealthy.
