The Twinkie Diet - my kind of eating!

So...I ran across a professor who went on a Twinkie diet for one month.  Let's stop right there.

I LOVE Hostess products.  If I could eat one sweet for the rest of my life, I am pretty sure it would be little chocolate donuts or donettes.  I LOVE little chocolate donuts!

Having lived in Australia, the original Tim Tam would probably come in second.
Then, I would go back to other Hostess products in the following order:

1 - donettes
2 - Coffee cake
3 - Twinkies
4 - Ho Hos
5 - Ding Dongs
6 - Fruit Pies (Cherry or Apple - NOT Blueberry)
7 - Cupcakes

So imagine my interest when I read about this professor who wanted to prove calorie intake is the ONLY factor to diet.   http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/index.html

And, he did.  So just as I have been saying since fat camp, it is calories in and calories out.  He basically ate Twinkies and other junk food as his calories.  But still counted the calories.  Now he doesn't talk about how hungry he was and with all of those empty calories, he must have been STARVING!  But without meat, his cholesterol was down and all of the rest of his measurements were good.

CALORIES IN - CALORIES OUT.
