Its not what you eat it's how much of it you eat according to this gentlemans diet of chocolate bars, chips, biscuits, pizza, doughnuts and sugary cereals for two months.

I do notice that the details of the full study isn't up which could indicate he supplemented with thermogenic fat burners and carb/fat blockers but what really interested me was that his LDL-cholesterol fell 20 per cent, whilst his HDL-cholesterol rose by 20 per cent!
isn't 1800 calories of sugar and fats still bad for you?

Any chance you could write shorter question titles Micky, as they tend to take up the space of 2 or 3 in the unanswered questions box?

long term a diet of junk is hardly going to make you feel good inside which is more important that weight loss. being a heroin addict can make you thin, doesnt make it good though.

Ok Countastrong I've noticed that there is a trend here of just putting up the basic title of the question in the top box and the main body of the question in the larger bottom box which I shall be adopting from now on.

Cazzz does heroin do this to your cholesterol levels LDL-cholesterol fell 20 per cent, whilst his HDL-cholesterol rose by 20 per cent?

No problem at all countastrong.
Cazzz I seriously doubt it! Like the Atkins diet this offers a short term loss but then it's likely to have a rebound effect long term with Ldl rocketing through the roof and Hdl ploughing through the floor.
Wouldn't this diet be dangerous to diabetics?

lol, I would imagine over a long term it would be detrimental to health

Not sure I would dignify this experiment by the term study, since it consists of one person ;)

As an experiment it is interesting, but the standout factor is not "eating junk food makes you lose weight" - its that eating 800 calories a day less allows you to lose weight. Given the amount of weight loss he achieved, I dont find the change in LDL /HDL levels especially surprising either.

Not a diet for the long term, i think :)
