Twinkie Diet

In 2010, Mark Haub, a professor at Kansas State University, embarked on an unusual diet consisting mainly of sugary snacks, including Twinkies, Oreos, and Doritos, consumed every three hours. Despite lacking exercise and essential nutrients, Haub experienced a drop in bad cholesterol and a decrease in body fat. However, this diet poses potential health risks, including diabetes, and neglects vital food groups like fruits and dairy. While he supplemented with multivitamins and protein shakes, the Twinkie diet raises questions about sustainable health practices.
