Vogue printed an actual diet plan in the 1970s that comes down to three eggs, five ounces of steak, and a full bottle of wine a day, with a promise of five pounds gone in three days. Sara found it, read it out loud, and neither of them could believe it made it to print in a fashion magazine.

From there it turns into a deep dive on the worst diet advice history has to offer, including a viral TikTok thread full of people confessing their most feral weight loss tricks: chewing ice for hours, calling a licked apple a lunch, HCG drops, 500-calorie days. Some of it's funny. All of it explains a lot about where diet culture came from.

None of it holds up, and neither of them is recommending a sip or a bite of it. But if proof exists that the wellness industry has always been a little unhinged, this is it.
