nutrition professor lose 27 pounds to 10 weeks Twinkie diet. For variety, he also munched on Doritos, Oreos, and Little Debbie Snacks.

nutrition professor Mark Haub, at the University of Kansas State loses 27 pounds to 10 weeks on a diet of Twinkie. This is not to one of the new low calorie publicly disseminated diet plans. It was an experiment to show the importance of the low-calorie diet for weight loss.

I know this sounds like a supermarket tabloid headline but the Twinkie diet is a legitimate professor of nutrition at an accredited university. The title did not explain the whole story. I will make an attempt to evaluate it.

My first question is does this seem reasonable. He consumed 1,800 calories a day on the diet. His normal diet of 2600 calories a day maintained a stable weight. You have to burn 3,500 calories to lose one pound. Within 10 weeks, the 56,000 caloric deficit would calories or 16 pounds. The other 11 pounds were lost by an average of 550 calories per day exercise.

A large number of variables involved in determining burn calories through exercise. A 180-pound person walking a mile in 13 minutes would burn 100 calories. 550 calories per day would be equivalent to 71.5 minutes of walking per day. This could include exercise programs and the normal activities of everyday.

The original Twinkie was developed in 1930 by Continental Baking Company in Indianapolis. He used the machines used to make a cream-filled strawberry shortcake when the strawberry season was over. It originally had a filling bananas until the banana shortage in World War II. Hostess still sells more than half a billion a year.

A Twinkie weighs 43 grams and contains 150 calories. It contains 39 ingredients including 5 grams of fat, 20 mg of cholesterol, 2,000 mg of salt, 25 g of carbohydrates and sugar. The cream center shortens.

Its diet consisted of 60 percent of junk food. He was only 5 Twinkies a day. He completed them with a protein shake, multivitamin pills, a can of green beans or four stalks of celery each day. He did not eat meat, grains and whole fruits. He completed the diet to protect their health. It should not be construed as part of a diet program. So I suppose it is better than consuming a dozen Twinkies a day for 1800 calories. He plans to take next month weight by eating healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables, lean protein and whole grains.

This may seem to be one of low-calorie diet plans, but it is not considered a healthy diet. It was an experiment to demonstrate the importance of the low-calorie diet for weight loss. It is very unlikely that this regime could support long-term weight reduction or long-term health.
