Long-Term Effects of Snack-centric Diets

Dr. Haub definitely validated his thesis that a daily caloric deficit is a path to weight loss. Statistically it’s a horrible path to weight loss, that much is certain, as upwards of 98% of conventional diets fail within a year (Dr. Haub’s diet is a conventional diet, irrelevant of his food choices – he was focused on expending more calories than he consumed).

It should be noted that Dr. Haub has been successful for all of 10 weeks so far — even he questions the sustainability of this diet.

WHATEVER FOODS YOU USE, Caloric deficit dieting is a huge cause of weight GAIN. It’s not sustainable and slows metabolism. Basically it puts you in a jail that to lose weight you will have to eat less and less and exercise more and more. That’s not healthy.

Training your metabolism to handle more food is clearly a better way, and this can be accomplished by shifting the timing of your eating and exercise to better align with your natural metabolic cycle.

The EET Fitness Plan has proven this over the last 3 years with members eating plenty of junk food as well as all other kinds of foods (EET has no calorie counting and no food restrictions).

This is where I take issue with this article -- all foods can be eaten if the correct timing is observed while still achieving weight loss and improved health readings. I personally have sustained this for nearly 3 years and other EETers are now over 1 year into their plans, so we are evidence that Dr. Haub's blood readings are no fluke and can be sustained at least when using the EET Guidelines.

EET believes and our results support the notion that their are not unhealthy or junk foods, only foods eaten at the wrong times.

I had hoped Dr. Haub’s message would be to get people to question EVERYTHING about conventional dieting — we are calling a 98% failure rate state of the art?

Instead, I fear the public is taking from Dr. Haub’s experiment that a conventional calorie counting dieting is the way to go, and if that’s the case it will cause more harm than good.

Being that we already seem to be sharing factors regarding Twinkie diet - Long-term Effects of Snack-centric Diets, It is of vital importance to understand the adverse effects that may be caused by following a 500 calorie diet without the proper supervision of a medical doctor. We hope that this article has changed your mind about starting or continuing the use of homeopathic "HCG" drops. Although hCG hormone programs may be more expensive, ask yourself, is this small expense worth preventing a lifetime of potential health and weight issues?

Hi Monique, excellent follow-up on the Twinkie diet aftermath! I think the publicity of this diet can lead people to the wrong conclusions if they don't read carefully.
