"Hostess with the Most-est"

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2010/11/nutrition-professor-loses-27-pounds-in-10-weeks-by-eating-only-twinkies/1

A Kansas State University professor Mark Haub lost 27 lbs. on a 10-week diet of Twinkies, Oreos, Doritos, and Little Debbie snacks. Though his health appears to be fine, his life expectancy has been lowered because the next Atkins dieter he meets is going to kill him.

The nutrition professor was attempting to prove that total calorie intake is what matters most when it comes to weight loss. Over the course of the diet, he did monitor things like heart rate and blood pressure. Or as it is now known, crème filling pressure.

Though his food choices were loaded with sugar, his beverage of choice was insulin.

His study also suggests that Super Size Me filmmaker Morgan Spurlock was just being a pig.

Professor Haub’s weight loss makes a lot more sense once you see him. The chemicals in Twinkies have shrunk him to 17 inches high.
