diets that work fast to lose weight

so… a nutrition professor from kansas stateuniversity decided to go on a rather interesting diet, consisting mainly of nutty bars, powdereddonuts, and twinkies. dubbed the “twinkie diet,” he was ableto lose 27 pounds in 10 weeks. the point he was trying to make is that ifyou wanted to lose weight, you just have to count your calories. considering that he burns roughly 2600 caloriesper day, the professor decided to eat 1800 calories of mainly junk food daily. and voila, he did in fact lose weight, andanecdotally, proved that his hypothesis was true.


you’re probably wondering, “hmm, i wonderif this would work for me?” the short answer is… yes. as dearth and unimaginable as it might sound,the theory behind calories in and calories out has been relentlessly shown to have somemerit to it in many studies. and if you assume that calories simply meanthe amount of food you eat, then it makes much more sense when you say, “if you wantto lose weight, you just need to eat less.” but it doesn’t mean that for people wantingto lose weight, they should be doing the same twinkie diet. problem is, today’s media and society hasbecome obsessed with the number on the scale


that it blatantly ignores many other healthfactors. it just doesn’t boil down to a single number. in all honesty, doing such a diet is ratherpointless. yes, it’s true, that you can in fact loseweight eating nothing but junk. but you will do so at a cost… …such as the lack of nutrients. in terms of macros, junk food consists ofheavy amounts of processed sugar and saturated fat. two things of which, when consumed chronicallyor in excess, has been connected to health


diseases such as atherosclerosis and type2 diabetes. it’s also missing an abundance of protein,the number one macronutrient needed to build any considerable amount of muscle when pairedwith training. worse yet, muscle breakdown during weightloss will increase since you don’t have enough protein to fend it off. and don’t forget micronutrients. vitamins and minerals, although not significantfactors of weight loss, are still needed for good health and to prevent malnutrition. vitamin and mineral deficiency is no joke,causing a wide range of health issues.


ahem, to name a few:parasthesia, hypothyroidism, confusion, cheilosis aka lip fissures, fatigue, loss of memory,anemia, pale skin, depression, hair loss, rashes, numbness, cramps, decreased strengthoutput, and, arrr scurvy. and the professor knew this can be an issue,and that’s why he was smart enough to at least supplement his junk food diet with amultivitamin supplement, a protein shake, and a good handful of veggies. if we also truly look at how much junk foodyou’re allowed to eat versus healthy food on an 1800 calorie diet, you’ll see thatyou’re in for quite a starving experience. and again, you’ll probably want more thanjust losing weight.


i’m sure most of you are looking to puton some muscle or at the very least, lose weight and get that elusive “lean” look. you can work out, of course, but much of yourexercises will go to waste if you’re not giving your body enough protein to begin with,something that we know junk food is sorely lacking. in the short run, you might be able to getaway with a junk food diet with very little negative impact to health. but if you expect this to work in the longrun, sorry to burst your bubblegum, it won’t pan out too well for you.


so let’s revisit the question. if you ask, “can you lose weight eatingnothing but junk food?” the answer is factually yes. but if you ask “is losing weight by eatingnothing but junk food healthy? then the answer is a big, fatty, no. what are some crazy diets you’ve tried? share it in the comments. please like and share the video if you enjoyed,and don’t forget to subscribe. thanks for watching!
