If you had two women of exactly the same everything- height weight etc.
If both ate 1200 cals a day.
But one ate a balanced diet of protein and carbs and veggies etc.
The other ate junk food of the same calories.
Would the look the same.
I'm aware that one would be healthier on the inside, and have the benefits that come with a balanced diet.
Just wondering if they would have the same outcome?
Yes, they'd both be dead. Eventually.
They're probably dead already.
they were already dead to me...

On a 1200 calorie diet? Probably not much of a difference between the two.0

that is a function of water retention due to less or increased carb intake...
Thanks for that,- I am quite aware of that fact. I should have made myself clearer maybe. I took it that the OP was asking about how what you ate affected your looks. Well, for me the water loss associated with decreased carb intake makes my face appear slimmer and my stomach look flatter. I know it's not fat loss (I have a degree in human & applied biology) and only temporary.

Well if you think about it logically. These two would look and act differently. One is loading her body with good wholesome foods and the other is with junk foods. Your skin will be smoother and have more color and you wont be as tired. As with the other and junk foods. Her skin will look more pale, maybe more wrinkled and she wont feel as good as you do. Her clothes may fit her differently also,maybe a frumpier look.0

I get a bloated face when I eat crap food (though the bloat does make me look younger) and acne on my face and back. So I definitely look different when I'm shoveling cookies into my face than when I'm eating veggies and/or meats. If I keep eating crap I'll be constantly horizontal or slumped in a chair, too, which is markedly different from how someone looks when out for a walk on a sunny day.0

I don't know about that. My dog eats crap all the time and she's perfectly healthy and full of energy. Maybe because it's cat crap? I'm not a coprogastrologist so I don't know how all that works and I don't know what kind of crap you're eating that slumps you in a chair but maybe try cat?0 -

Haha. I know to be more precise on this site. So many smart alecs! How do you know your dog doesn't have zits under her coat?
Crap = cookies, chips, ice cream, cake, and candy, all in large quantities!0 -

She has really short smooth silky fur. I could tell if there were zits.
And if you're crapping cookies, chips, ice cream, cake, and candy in large quantities I think I'd like to know where you live.0 -

so clothing style is now a function of weight loss?
so if someone eats 1200 calories of "junk" then they will look frumpier..???
Also, you cannot tan if you are eating "junk", really??? I did not know that radiation from the sun discriminated based on food type...0 -
