Twinkie Diet Helps Nutrition Professor Lose 27 Pounds

Professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University Mark Haub has managed to lose 27 pounds in 10 weeks eating only junk food available at a convenience store. Haub wanted to prove that when it came to dieting calorie counting mattered much more than the nutritional value of food. From the article: "For a class project, Haub limited himself to less than 1,800 calories a day. A man of Haub's pre-dieting size usually consumes about 2,600 calories daily. So he followed a basic principle of weight loss: He consumed significantly fewer calories than he burned."

Yeah.

I'd like to know how many pushups he can do now that he's lost all that weight.

It's not so much that people should be trying to lose weight as it is they should be trying to lose fat

After all, equal volumes of fat and muscle: muscle weighs more.
