Lose Weight Eating Junk Food

It's been awhile since I've actually written anything on this blog outside of posting various exercise videos (which by the way, I hope you have enjoyed). So today you'll actually read something with some more substance and what better kind of substance than everyone's favorite topic...Junk Food.

A nutrition professor from Kansas is experimenting with losing weight....while eating junk food.



Basically, for 30 days he's eating high calorie, high fat food, but, keeping it within 1,800 calories a day. His goal in this is to show that even though he's eating junk food, he can still maintain or lose weight.

After that 30 days, he's going to flip it around and eat healthy foods, but eat more calories than what his body needs to maintain his body weight in order to show that even if you eat healthy foods, if you eat too much of them, you can gain weight.

The results so far on the junk food diet: in 6 weeks he lost 19 pounds... No word yet on when he'll start the weight gain exercise with the healthy foods so I'm going to keep up on this and she what happens.

The overall point that I think he's trying to make is a good one: No matter what kind of food you eat, CALORIES COUNT. If you eat less than what your body needs, you're going to lose weight and if you eat more than what your body needs, you're going to gain weight, regardless of the type of food you are eating.

With that said though, I wouldn't recommend dropping the broccoli and salmon for a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. He is only demonstrating what the effects are on weight loss. He's been monitoring other health indicators while doing this junk food diet and blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol have all INCREASED.

Which again bring up a great point: Just because you are losing weight, doesn't necessarily mean that you're getting healthier.

I know that I do a lot of stressing about keeping it simple by sticking with meat, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and oils. It works for me. It might work for you. But another form of eating might work for you if you’re just not into eating those kinds of foods. You just have to remember that if losing weight is your goal, to make sure you are keeping your calories lower than what your body needs.

Does that mean you have to measure out all your food, count calories, etc.? If you want to do it that way or if that’s how you stayed disciplined, then you can do that. But it’s not required. If you simply monitor what you eat, and watch your weight on the scale and take a measurement around your waist at your belly button on a weekly basis, that should be good enough. If you see the scale go down from week to week as well as the measurement around your waist, then you know you’re on the right track. See it stay the same or increase from week to week, then you know you’re eating too much and you need to eat less.

Which again, going back to the way that I think works well for eating (keeping it to various meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and oils), in various portions and timing of your meals that I lay out in the Fat Loss Nutritional Guide that comes along with the membership option of the 30 Minute Workout, makes it very simple to follow with a variety of food for even the pickiest of eaters, AND enhances that fat loss effect.

Give the 30-Minute at Home Workout a try, take a look at the nutritional guidelines that I set out for you, and see what you think. It only costs $4.95 to try out and if you’re not impressed, you can just go ahead and cancel it and all you lost was just one day worth of your favorite coffee drink at Starbucks.

This doesn’t have to be complicated. Want to lose weight: Eat less food. What to lose weight and see overall healthy results: Eat less healthy food, and exercise.
