I remember reading about this years back. It was also called the Air Force Diet. Basically you eat all the meat you want, no matter how it’s prepared and drink beer. I don’t imagine it’s the most healthy program around but I thought it was amusing.
“Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.”
Sounds like a good diet to me - there’s beauty in its simplicity. I’ve been following it unintentionally for the past 2 weeks…
heh. I’ve been on that diet before. Can’t really say it was the best for body composition, but I had a good time.
There’s also a great variation- the BMW diet. Beer, meat, and women.
Sounds good to me. Both would make me a very happy guy.
Puts new meaning to the Canadian phrase “Molsen Muscle”.

Yeah, done that one too. But women don’t provide too much nourishment. They can, sometimes, ligthen your wallet however.
I like to call that the “Las Vegas Diet”.
When I was there all I ate was lobster, steak, prime rib and beer. ;]
Over here in Japan they have these yaki-niku (barbeque) all you can eat/drink places. For about 25 bucks, two hours and it’s on. Your table has a hot plate on it. They bring you plates of meat and pitchers of beer. You cook the meat yourself and it’s a good time.

The Korean side of my family has a similar meal…mounds upon mounds of thinly sliced ribeye, sweet and spicy nappa cabbage salad, rice, sesame oil w/ s&p (to dip the meat in) a habachi grill and lots of beer.

You have no idea how delicious this unlimited amount of BBQ meat sounds to someone on the velocity diet right now. Plates of meat and beer? Amazing. By the way, deanosumo, being as I’ve never been to the far East, what are the typical types of beer they serve there? Mostly lighter lagers or are they more into the darker brews?
During the middle ages in Germany many people would get upwards of 75% of their calories through beer supposedly. This included young children. I’ll just assume that the rest was meat and market this is as the next big paleo type diet and make a fortune. I need a catchy title though. I think I’ll overlook the anachronism and go with the Barbarian Diet ™. The exercise portion will consist of some modern adaptaion of rape and pillage that doesn’t end with getting one’s ass raped and pillaged in jail.

Almost exclusively lagers. Very few Japanese drink ales or stouts.
