Thinking about the holidays? Those few extra pounds you may put on? Well, good news! You can eat anything you want and still lose weight, just don’t eat too much of it.Twinkie Diet

Twinkies, Nutty bars and powdered donuts were the staple foods in one man’s diet for 10 weeks. Who you ask? What person would diet this way? A professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University ate the equivalent of nutritional ‘crap’ every three hours instead of meals to prove that the ‘secret’ to weight loss is just pure calorie counting, not the nutritional value of food. He dropped 27 pounds in two months by limiting himself to less than 1,800 calories a day from a regimen that usually saw him consuming about 2,600 calories, pre-diet.

But you might expect other indicators of health would have suffered. Not so. Hmmm, so what was he eating?
