Not necessarily. Didn't you read the whole article? His health was good after.

Haub's "bad" cholesterol, or LDL, dropped 20 percent and his "good" cholesterol, or HDL, increased by 20 percent. He reduced the level of triglycerides, which are a form of fat, by 39 percent.

yes, sorry, I was being a smart ass.

He hasn't drawn any real conclusions it appears other than that calories are king. No matter what you ingest, the count is what, well counts. We have been trained to dislike certain foods etc. one day pizza is bad next its not, butter vs. margarine, and despite that we eat them anyway, as far as the additives and preservatives etc. we add, well, as he says its not clear why his cholesterol etc. didn't take a hit, the contrary actually....so in the end it may be that simple, caloric intake(?).

That's it then!

I'm quiting my gym, no more working out, and living on everything I can get at a convenience store! (as long as there's no animal products in it of course!)

Yes, but keep the guns away from him or he will shoot a homosexual politician.

That is what too many Twinkies do.

This is why he remained in relative good health:

He also took a multivitamin pill and drank a protein shake daily. And he ate vegetables, typically a can of green beans or three to four celery stalks.

The vitamin pill and the protein shake gave him what he was lacking in his diet. The veggies didn't hurt either.

This whole project really isn't even all that facinating. If the guy wasn't supplementing the twinkie diet, it might have been interesting.

It really is all about caloric intake. If you burn more than you take in, you lose weight. I don't know why people don't get it.

Probably because they do it for 2 weeks and see no results, and quit because they can't stand not eating whatever they want. You can eat whatever you want, you just have to use portion control. It takes discipline.

Of course, there are people who are just naturally fast metabolizers like myself and can eat however much of anything we want and be fine
