The Egg and Wine Diet was promoted by Helen Gurley Brown (the editor of Cosmopolitan) in 1962 and is so infamous that it has its own Wikipedia page. You eat only eggs and steak and drink a bottle of wine per day for three days and lose 5 pounds. I think there is some logic to it which I will explain. First, realize that it is a short term diet lasting only three days so it is a fad diet, but won't cause any permanent harm. I would add grapefruit to it. The basic theory (unstated in the articles) is that it will mess with your gut and stomach (and brain) a little so you won't be hungry. And if you aren't hungry, you won't eat and you will lose weight. I think it would work.
