Man on Twinkie Diet Loses 27 lbs in 2 months!

CNN is reporting that Kansas State University Professor Mark Haub has lost 27 lbs while eating a diet of Twinkies, "Hostess and Little Debbie snacks, Doritos chips, sugary cereals and Oreos."

He lost weight by carefully measuring his caloric intake.  By removing 800 calories from his daily diet, 2,600 cal/day to 1,800 cal/day, he was able to drop serious poundage while eating pure junk!  Somebody give this man an award!  And the keys to my heart.

Strangely, none of his other health indicators took a hit: "Haub's "bad" cholesterol, or LDL, dropped 20 percent and his "good" cholesterol, or HDL, increased by 20 percent. He reduced the level of triglycerides, which are a form of fat, by 39 percent."

I really can't tell you how happy I am that this information came out!  I'w I'll eat bacon, fried tomatoes, biscuits and gravy every day!  (Until my wife finds out and I get into some serious trouble.)
