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
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.
Unironically yeah. There’s more ways for a girl to pick up a restrictive eating disorder (family pressure, wider social pressure, more sports that care about weight like gymnastics and dance) but men can absolutely still get one and this is the most common way. And I really should have specified restrictive because binge eating disorder is pretty common in both sexes. Although orthorexia is also kinda coming into vogue for both sexes.
So if we add some weetabix to the morning meal it’s basically a perfect diet! I’ll start experimenting tomorrow, I’ve already ordered 30 bottles of wine
Protip: Use white wine instead of milk for your cereal. Turbo charge your morning shit by blending it together with four shots of espresso and a whole cigarette!
And your brain won’t work because it requires at least 110 grams of carbs to function normally. Then you might start saying things like “if you’re only eating protein you don’t need fibre”
Fair enough, that being said, eating exclusively protein is still likely to result in death from nutrient deficiency, kidney overload, protein poisoning, the list goes on.
The avg person expending 2000 Calories a day means an ~850 Calorie deficit. 2550 deficit over the course of 3days. That allows about 3lbs of muscle (700C) loss or almost 1lb of fat (3000-3500C)loss.
Up the calories expended via being active and you could reach the 5lb goal. With such severe caloric deficit nost of the weight loss would be muscle unfortunately.
If caloric intake was higher sure. Muscle breakdown is easier than fat so is a prime target in starvation diets to get energy. Results in long-lasting problems for people who have experienced famine or eating disorders. More moderate caloric deficits are healthier for a reason but obviously takes longer to lose weight.
There’s a lot of variability in nutrition that can impact things but generally protein in the diet helps maintain and grow muscle but doesn’t affect that when your body is starving for energy muscle tends to go more than fat.
Nutritional fads including the current lots of protein one are likely bunk or only for certain lifestyles.
Resistance training. When on a calorie deficit while doing weight training, you will lose less muscle. You’ll still lose some, but your body will try to rebuild the muscle using proteins and stored nutrients.
It is complex, precise dietary requirements vary person to person (even mouse to mouse but less for lab strains). As a generality women have lower caloric requirements, men higher. Age, height, weight, activity level, genetics, etc all have impacts.
The timeline of caloric restriction matters. Muscle breakdown occurs first because muscles store glycogen which is a much faster energy source than fat. Fat breakdown can go on for longer as it has a higher density of energy. Simple short-term reduction in calories thus results in muscle before fat. Higher protein intake mitigates or prevents muscle loss in longer-term diets compared to lower protein intake as the muscle cells are used to process/use the protein. Exercise is the best at keeping or growing muscle as it turns them from energy providers to energy users.
5lb of fat is 17500 kcal. An additional 3450 kcal consumed brings that to 20950 kcal you’d have to expend in three days, or just under 7000 kcal/day. That’s Olympic athlete level, isn’t it?
1 bottle of white ~ 600 calories
3 hard boiled eggs - 225 calories
5 oz steak ~ 325 calories

Mostly of the weight loss would be water.
No carbs plus alcohol and coffee is just diuretics
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.
Oh hey that’s the main way men get eating disorders!

Top advice!
If you’re only eating protein you don’t need fiber.
And your brain won’t work because it requires at least 110 grams of carbs to function normally. Then you might start saying things like “if you’re only eating protein you don’t need fibre”
Gluconeogenesis is a thing. So while correct, it doesn’t have to be dietary carbs.
Fair enough, that being said, eating exclusively protein is still likely to result in death from nutrient deficiency, kidney overload, protein poisoning, the list goes on.
But thats not as funny.
Though a fruit only diet, that’s funny.
All those negatives notwithstanding, you still don’t need fiber in your diet if you’re only eating protein.
I mean if you just eat steak and eggs you’re not going to shit. As I said earlier it was a tactic we used for making weight.
Not shitting is a great way to get colon cancer.
Oh god your poor anal tract.
Why?
If you lose more than water weight in 3 days, it’s probably due to traumatic illness or amputation.
Or a change in plans for space flight!

Isn’t there enough protein in that diet to maintain the muscle?

I’m not familiar with this so am interested; presumably there’s a calorie deficit where more fat is consumed than muscle? Where does it switch?

Google results are showing to me that are at most 30g in a bottle of red dry wine.
That’s like a potato or something
Well you’re clearly not sleeping
Depending where you start it would probably keep up a 2 to 3 pound a week loss until you get down to around 120lbs, then it would slow down.
