I saw a little bit on the Today show this morning about a guy who ate nothing but Twinkie's, Ding Dongs and Ho Hos for 2 months and lost 27 lbs. The "expert" on the show said it's simple calories in vs. calories out. He only ate 1800 calories a day...well duh! What about nutrition? You can also starve to death by not eating any nutrients...my Aunt did that. A few years ago, she was eating nothing but cereal and pizza...she died of malnutrition.
So, to me, it's not simply a calorie thing. You have to be getting a good balance of fat, fiber, protein, vitamins, etc. No better way than to eat a well balanced diet! God made an awesome variety of foods for us to eat, full of nutrients...just the right ones that He designed our bodies to be able to absorb and use.
Time to read "Body By God" again, by Dr. Ben Lerner!
