the wine and egg diet from vogue magazine in the 70s
highly likely it was not written by anyone in the health field
maybe you have to stay drunk to get through it?

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
I enjoy wine, and confess I have had days when a bottle has slipped down very nicely. But for breakfast? Even I cannot manage wine at breakfast! This must have been for those ‘super-skinny’ models who were so popular back then.
Best wishes, Pete. 😊🍷

What kind of crazy diet is that? Seven bottles of white wine a week seems a little excessive!

I do remember quite a few diet fads, especially ones that involved hard boiled eggs, but I’ve never come across this one. Eggs AND a whole bottle of wine a day… Phew! At least it says on the top that it’s meant for three days. That’s perhaps just about survivable… Ah, the 70s…

I’m almost (almost…) tempted to try it ~ purely for research, you understand ~ given that it would “only” be for three days. I wonder if red wine would be allowed? Or champagne ~ which is, after all, a breakfast drink : )
