Have you ever heard of a Twinkie Diet? Professer Mark Haub went on a 2 month "Twinkie Diet" and lost 27 pounds! But his diet also consisted of Little Debbies, Doritos, Twinkies, sugary cereal, and Oreos.After 2 months his body mass index went from 28.8 to "over weight" to 24.9 "normal". Haubs bad cholesteral dropped 20% and his good cholersteral wentt up 20%. But Mark does not want anybody else to try this diet due to increase in cancer risks.
I think that this diet was true and very affective. But becuase all of the risks that you are taking you probally shouldn't try it. If these snacks are supossed to be unhealthy then they should not be put forward like this. I don't think that this diet was origanally planned to help your body but ended up helping more than he realized. You probally shouldn't promote this kind of eating seeing on how America is dealing with countless cases of childhood obesity.

It is possible that he did lose weight, but they also should have checked to see if he was malnourished. That could have led to the weight loss.
