"It's a great reminder for weight loss that calories count," she said. "Is that the bottom line to being healthy? That's another story."

And he went from 33.4 to 29% body fat. So, for fatties looking to lose weight, doing ALMOST ANYTHING will help. For those who are already at a "healthier" level, as we were originally discussing, the twinkie diet would not be ideal.

Furthermore, the numbers don't really seem to add up. They claim he went from 33.4 to 29% body fat and his BMI went from "28.8, considered overweight, to 24.9, which is normal. He now weighs 174 pounds." bullshite. 29% body fat is not considered normal, and no one at 29% body fat has a BMI of 24.9.
