A Twinkie Diet? Yeah, I'll Pass.

Twinkie diet helps nutrition professor lose 27 pounds

 

(CNN) -- Twinkies. Nutty bars. Powdered donuts.

For 10 weeks, Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of these sugary cakelets every three hours, instead of meals. To add variety in his steady stream of Hostess and Little Debbie snacks, Haub munched on Doritos chips, sugary cereals and Oreos, too.

The premise held up: On his "convenience store diet," he shed 27 pounds in two months.

Growing up, I thought the chair stunt she did around the 2:20 mark was the coolest thing ever. :)

Quote (taken from #commentz)

Sidenote: after adding the PicPosterous app to my iPod touch & finally taking time to create an album of some screenshots, I didn't realize I posted a few of them over the weekend...oops! So it does post instantly.

And now for today's quote:

“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” - Mark Victor Hansen

If you're into public relations & new media and don't have time to search all the daily headlines, I'd recommend you subscribe to the #commentz newsletter, published Monday-Friday by pr consultant Sarah Evans, you'll find valuable information and a nice quote or two :)
