Alright - people - if you want to lose weight - here is the trick - eat less calories than you are right now.... that's it - there is nothing else you need to know... a science person has put this very difficult and complex issue to the test by completing the following: he tried the twinkie diet - so he didn't just eat twinkies - although I'm sure that some people will try that - what he did is he decided to eat only 1800 calories a day and most of that caloric intake came from twinkies and twinkie related products... he lost more than 25 lbs this way... and had a positive impact on his other health scores (cholesterol, etc)
So now let's put our thinking caps on - why did he lose weight - not because he ate twinkies, it is MATH! Math is what conquers the system... it isn't a magic pill, twinkies, more water, more milk... just math...
So I've figured out my problem with weight loss - I suck at math... note to self, must learn to add and subtract more efficiently....
Here is the full article if you care to read it...
