Obesity and related health problems have become a significant concern today with lifestyles getting more sedentary. Consequently, there’s a growing trend of diets and exercise regimes, with numerous coaches promising weight loss solutions.
However, the desire for weight control is not new. Maintaining a healthy weight has long been a challenge, particularly for women, especially those in the modelling industry, where a slim physique is deemed essential.
Recently, a 48-year-old diet chart featured in Vogue magazine has gone viral on social media, surprising many.
The 1977 Wine And Egg Diet
This viral Instagram post showcases a diet plan published in a 1977 edition of Voguea renowned fashion magazine. It claimed to help women shed approximately 2.5 kg in just three days. The plan revolved around consuming wine and eggs and was allegedly used by models to manage their weight before major events, ensuring they looked their best for photographs.
Closer Look At The ‘Crash Diet’
The diet plan outlined specific meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Surprisingly, it permitted women to consume a full bottle of alcohol daily.
Breakfast consisted of a glass of wine with a boiled egg, followed by two glasses of wine and two eggs – boiled or as an omelette – for lunch. Dinner comprised 150 grams of chicken with vegetables and the remaining alcohol. A cup of black coffee was included with each meal.
This restrictive diet promised a rapid weight loss of 3 kg in three days.
Are Crash Diets Good For You?
Crash diets, which promise rapid weight loss in a short period, might seem tempting, but they come with significant risks to health and well-being. They may cause nutrient deficiencies, leading to fatigue, weakened immunity, and emotional strain. Rapid weight loss also slows down metabolism, making it harder to maintain weight, and can result in muscle loss, further hindering weight management.
While these diets may deliver quick results, they may lead to long-term negative consequences if followed without the proper guidance of health professionals.
