Date: November 08, 2010 08:40PM This is a new trend now: eating fast food to lose weight. It is interesting to me how fatuous the goalset is; all that matters is quick weight loss. In 20 years I would expect to suffer from all kinds of serious health repercussions if I ate nothing but Twinkies for months on end. But no one speculates about this in estimating the value of this or that fast food based diet. And vegetarians still get called out as extremists. It's bizarre. Re: twinkie diet

Date: November 08, 2010 08:49PM yeah, they base the numbers on two months of eating this way. Why would the nutritionist stop if he believed it was worth doing? david Re: twinkie diet

Don't people call anything outside of the basic four extreme? I know my in law would consider the twinkie diet extreme. So, perhaps they aren't singling out vegetarians as 'extreme'. I got called a fanatic at one workplace because I avoided junk food. The general thought is that of 'moderation'. I don't quite get it, because I can't see any harm in avoiding thigns that are known to be unhealthy. So, I question the sense of 'moderation' because that can mean different things to different people, so much so that it almost doesn't mean anything. Re: twinkie diet

Date: November 08, 2010 09:13PM What ever happened to just eating a healthy varied diet and a little exercise to lose weight naturally.
Hes still following the same principles of weight loss less calories in than he expends. So why not do that with healthy nutritious foods rather than junk. Crazy world, its the exact type of diet crap that plagues womans magazines, no wonder alot of woman have such a bad view on eating. Re: twinkie diet

Date: November 08, 2010 09:23PM If you read the article, you'll notice that he consumes a protein shake, multivitamins, as well as vegetables along with his twinkies.
I think the better lesson in this that many seem to be missing in that the 'markers' that we use to assess health currently aren't very good. For one, weight is used as a measure of fitness, and it just isn't the case. Re: twinkie diet

Date: November 08, 2010 09:44PM I did read the rest but a protein shake, some synthetic multivitamins and 4 sticks of celery wont do much to prevent him getting severely ill on the long run.
These kind of diets usually rebound also the weight you have lost comes back just as quick when you resume your normal dietary habits. Just seems abit insane when he could have ate a normal healthy varied diet and just cut the calories. Re: twinkie diet

Date: November 09, 2010 12:45AM Would love to see the results of this "diet" over 6 months or a year. Let the body utilize its fatty stores then watch the metabolism completely tank and the weight gain begin. Ten weeks isn't even long enough for insulin resistence to kick in. But hey... for a short term weight loss solution, I guess the proof is in the pudding. LOL Re: twinkie diet

Date: November 09, 2010 01:07PM I think its supposed to give people some permission to eat as they please. I am not sure thats an entirely great idea, considering the thought that a twinkie could be something desired. If your going to 'cheat' with something unhealthy, a twinkie just doesn't seem like maximium use of 'indulgence'.
Doesn't make much sense to me. Its been years and years since I have had a twinkie, I can't say that I am missing anything. But to some people I guess life just isn't worth living without one for some reason. Re: twinkie diet
