Man Loses 15 Pounds In One Month On The Twinkie Diet

November 13, 2010 by Adria Ali Leave a Comment

We are always steering away from junk foods, so why did this man lose 15  pounds while doing this absurd diet?  Regardless of the title Mark ate more then just twinkies.  During his month of dieting  he ate  Twinkies, Nutter Butters, steak, milk, and a multivitamin everyday.  The most shocking thing about this diet isn’t the weight loss or the foods he consumed, it’s his occupation!  Mark is a nutritionist at Kansas State University!  This Diet wasn’t  done as a dare but rather, a debate.  The question was, as long as nutritional values are met, is it WHAT you eat or just HOW MUCH that counts?

“I knew I could lose weight doing this, but I had no idea what was going to happen to cholesterol. That’s why I made it only four weeks because I had no idea how it would affect my health,” he says.

The thing is, he began to feel healthier. He had more energy, stopped snoring, and not only did he lose enough weight to drive down his overall cholesterol and body mass index (BMI), his good HDL cholesterol crept up two points and his blood glucose — despite all that cream filling — dropped 17 percent (source).”

During the experiment Mark also ate canned or frozen vegetables, and a protein supplement (smart guy).  While this diet did help him to lose weight and lower his cholesterol.  He stresses that the long term affects could be the real issue.  Eating junk day in and day out could shorten your life span and most people don’t think  to supplement with protein, vegetables, and multivitamins.   Also, you can lose weight as long as you consume LESS calories then you BURN.  This experiment was also a way to challenge the diets of today and make people question all the rules that come with dieting.  Did it  make you question your last diet???
