This is just as stupid as the guy who ate nothing but McDonald’s food.

There is no magic to dieting. When calories in < calories spent, you lose weight. Sure you can lose weight on twinkies, but you can also foul up your system.

Hmmm. So cancer feeds on sugar, hydrogenated oil, and partially hydrogenated oil. That is what this professor ate all day. More power to him, but no thanks from me. Also, I have PCOS so the only way I lose weight is following a low GI diet. I just think the low GI diet is a healthy lifestyle. I don’t care about what the government created food pyramid says.

I agree this is silly. Why not try the starvation diet? Eat nothing but a crust of bread and only drink water every day and you will lose weight too.

His premise: That in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most -- not the nutritional value of the food.

That's not the premise most commonly in dispute when it comes to weight loss. He should do another experiment eating about the same number of calories of mostly protein rich foods that are low in carbs and see which results in the most and fastest weight loss.

Has there ever been a food safety recall for Twinkies?

So far 49 posts but little to no mention of exercize.

And Americans grow fatter by the minute, eating too many CALORIES, and getting too little exercize.

I don’t want the government to do anything about it.

Each person should be completely “free to choose,” as Milton Friedman said.
