Almost every blogger out there who stresses the importance of maintaining a calorie-deficit in the hope of losing weight quotes ‘The Twinkie Diet’ (invented by Mark Haub).
This should come as no surprise since the diet basically consisted of eating predominantly junk food (with the exception of protein shakes, a few vegetables here and there and multivitamins).
So, What is The 'Twinkie Diet?'
Despite going on this crazy diet (consisting of Doritos chips, sugary cereals, oreos, and other sugar-rich processed foods), he (Mark Haub) maintained a calorie-intake of 1800 calories.
His daily calorie-expenditure was 2600 calories per day
10 WEEKS LATER, MARK
LOST 27 POUNDS!!!
On top of that, Professor Haub also noted a reduction in his BMI (28.8 to 24.9), a drop in his ‘bad’ cholesterol (or ‘LDL’) by 20%, an increase in his ‘good’ cholesterol (or ‘HDL’) by 20%, and a reduction in his triglycerides (a form of fat) by 39%.
