If you ate 1500 calories worth of candy does that mean you’ll lose weight?

Ziekerz asked:


Just a hypothetical here:

If your daily allowed calories was 2000 and you ate 1500 calories worth of candy bars, does that mean you’ll lose weight? Does it just depend on the calories or are there other factors involved?

    calories aren’t all that matters.
    candy has alot of fat and sugar, neither of which are terribly healthy in large amounts.
    so it depends on the fat content.
    regardless, eating nothing but candy for a day isn’t going to do you much good.

    Need to lose weight?

    LOL…

    There are many other factors involved. If you ate 4000 cals of beef a day would you turn into Arnie?

    think about it..

    When it comes to losing weight calories are not everything. Other factors are involved in major roles as well such as sugar and fats which are loaded into candy bars. Also consider how much sugar in candy bars that would put your glucose up to a very unhealthy level. This diet will not lead to weight loss and very well could leave you malnourished as candy lacks major nutrients

    contrary to what people think, not all calories are created equal.. moreover, the simplistic view, that eating less/more calories than what you expend would result in weight loss/gain, should be thrown away…

    for example.. if you eat 5000Cals worth of protein and fat without any carbs, you’d lose weight (the principle behind the atkins diet)..

    now candies are very high in fat and sugar (w/c is the total opposite of what you’d eat to lose weight)… this would definitely create constant insulin spikes… and, what do you feed to those spikes? FAT. so i BET you’d even gain weight…

    if you do try it (i hope not), please tell us how it turns out.. =)
