HUMAN NUTRITION PROFESSOR LOSES 10 POUNDS IN TWO WEEKS ON SNACK CAKE DIET

MANHATTAN -- A Kansas State University professor of human nutrition says his novel diet of snack foods is having better than expected results.

Sinfully sweet snacks may not be so sinful when it comes to your weight, according to K-State's Mark Haub, who has been on a diet of foods high in saturated fats and sugar for three weeks. 1xbet sports betting says 1xbet sports betting has lost 10 pounds so far.

&1xbet sports betting ;The healthy aspect of diets depends on perception,&1xbet sports betting ; he said. &1xbet sports betting ;All I know is that my 'bad' cholesterol has decreased on my diet and my 'good' cholesterol has increased. If cholesterol is a valid marker of cardiovascular disease risk, then it would appear my risk for cardiovascular disease decreased.&1xbet sports betting ;

Although most people consider products like peanut butter-chocolate bars and doughnuts to be unhealthy and cause weight gain, Haub is proving them wrong. 1xbet sports betting says that eating fewer calories than you expend is the key to weight loss.

1xbet sports betting said his diet shows there is no strong definition of healthy weight loss.

&1xbet sports betting ;It doesn't matter where the macronutrients are derived from as long as essential nutrients are consumed at the recommended levels, and the fuel is consumed at a level at or below energy expenditure,&1xbet sports betting ; he said.

Haub is not sure that 1xbet sports betting will try a different diet next semester to counter this one, but 1xbet sports betting did say 1xbet sports betting might extend his snack food diet for a few more weeks. 1xbet sports betting had planned to stick to the diet for four weeks.

&1xbet sports betting ;I've gotten a few comments that four weeks is not long enough to really establish worth,&1xbet sports betting ; he said. &1xbet sports betting ;I may, however, keep to the diet during the day and just eat a sensible dinner at night with my family.&1xbet sports betting ;

Haub said that 1xbet sports betting misses steak and hamburger the most, but 1xbet sports betting is not yet tired of sweet food.

&1xbet sports betting ;At this point I don't mind it,&1xbet sports betting ; he said. &1xbet sports betting ;As with any diet, people generally become bored with their food options. I think this is one reason why some diets work, but also a reason why they fail.&1xbet sports betting ;

Haub said 1xbet sports betting has received numerous supportive comments from dietitians and people recovering from eating disorders.

&1xbet sports betting ;Is it irresponsible to learn more about nutrition and push our understanding of health?&1xbet sports betting ; he asks.
