Foil packet??!!

What's with all the eggs?

The egg diet???

Are you on an egg diet Ossie?

Ostrich eggs by any chance?

Yes indeed, the egg diet.

One is always on a diet of some sort in this household ...... and they do work, more or less . But whilst every diet is often successful the first time you do it, it's less so thereafter, I find, especially for ostriches.

What is interesting is that one of the most successful diets I've ever done was the 7-day GM (General Motors of America) diet, which involved at least one set day on nothing but bananas and milk . Over the years, this has been roundly rubbished by nutritionists and dieticians, so on, as a quack diet .... however, it was interesting to see it heavily promoted in a Times supplement a couple of weeks back as the "go-to" diet of 2017 if you want to get your body toned up for the beach!

What goes around, comes around, I guess, especially if it's a fad ...

I remember the Mayo Clinic diet featured a lot of eggs. And grapefruit I love eggs ( and eat one at least, most days ) but not so keen on grapefruit! It promised a 20lb loss in two weeks but I only lasted three days.....

That was many many years ago
