    Unique way to lose 27 pounds in 10 weeks

    Twinkies, nutty bars, and powdery donuts... Yep. You read that correctly...junk food. A professor took a 10 week experiment limiting his calorie intake to 1800 a day. He rotated sweets between the three mention above and dropped 27 pounds in a ten week period. His point? It doesn't matter what you eat as long as you count the calories. Fascinating study.

    It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.

    What about his sugar intake?

    If I were to follow a diet like that, my type 2 diabetes would spike up into the stratosphere, and I'd probably go into diabetic shock.

    Interesting article.
    I'm surprised the glycemic count wasn't accounted for in the experiment. May it was but it wasn't mentioned in the article. I'm curious about that angle.

    Yeah...but it would be a different kinda weight loss.

    All that stuff has zero protein...so your muscles will start melting away.

    A dude who loses 27 pounds in 10 weeks by eating a protein-rich diet...will be stronger than a dude who loses 27 pounds in 10 weeks eating only sugary stuff.

    BTW, I'd take a ribeye steak over any sweets any day of the week...

    As soon as he starts eating regularly, because of this twinkie diet he was on, he is going to add more than the 27 pounds he lost.

    it's true, i just lost 22lbs. in 3 weeks just watching my cals. Simple as hell really..here's what i did

    for breakfast i'd have a fruit(banana usually) and a glass of ice Tea

    lunch I'd eat what ever the hell I'd want, I'm talking about a huge meal

    then for dinner something small like a yogurt and a fruit or a tuna salad

    3 weeks 22lbs.!! and I've been maintaining it for an additional 2 weeks now where it goes from 22-24 lbs. I don't gain any back and that's not even with working out

    Only if he ups his Twinkie intake.

    I lost about 140 pounds in less than 2 years on my own diet.

    Breakfast --- rice cakes and big coffee (fake sugar and creamer)

    Lunch --- 1 apple and some cheese

    Supper --- ground dark turkey meat

    Snack --- dry cereal

    Also, 1 meal per week you can pig out with anything you want and as much as you want.

    I got down to 155 and i'm 6.0

    Then I got bored and tired of starving myself and gained a lot of it back
