I don't know if it's a legitimate fad diet or this lady was just nuts...but I worked with a woman several years ago who was on a "diet" that allowed her to eat only Campbell's tomato soup with chopped celery added, and scrambled eggs, but as much of it as she liked, and then a "sensible dinner" which she usually got at a fast food or fast casual restaurant. She cooked her eggs in Ziploc bags and chowed down on about ten eggs per 8-hour work day. She didn't lose any weight on this diet, which surprised no one.1

How do you even cook eggs in a ziplock bag? That sounds nasty.0 -

I'm assuming microwave. Either way still disgusting
I eat eggs very rarely and the thought of chowing down ten everyday is .. disgusting0 -
