    Why would anyone doubt that you can fit a set amount of candy sourced cals in each day? It's nothing new.

    Calories count, not sugar, not carbs.

    Even if you don't have a medical issue against carbs... those carbs aren't healthy ones, they are SUGAR. Are you trying to lose weight? Forget it! You'd do yourself a real service if you just packed a few sandwiches and healthy munchies. :)

    You might still lose weight, but you'd be losing out on health properties you only get with good foods. How did it go btw?


    OP is severely gluten intolerant - that rules out most sandwiches.
    Yes I know you can get gluten free bread but pre packed gluten free sandwiches 4 days later???

    Of course a snickers only diet is not balanced nutrition ,but it is only for 4 days, I presume OP intends to eat a balanced diet after this.

    I personally think 4 days of snickers bars would be sickeningly sweet and not enough volume to not be hungry most of the time - but then again, OP is used to intermittent fasting and I am not, so perhaps it is doable for him.

    This thread so reminded me of my recent holiday....being gluten free and vegetarian was going to be a challenge in Gambia, but it was only a week, so I thought if I just ate what I could, I would be OK and still lose weight. One week of nothing but bananas, crisps, ice cream and peanuts later, supplemented with the gluten free rolls and flapjacks I had hidden in my suitcase, I was bored to death and 8lb heavier! Hope the OP had a better experience.

    If you are just recently home and took any flights, I wouldn't count the gain yet. I always retain water after flights. My last trip, it took a week for the 15 lbs of water weight to come off.

    Sure dude, eat whatever you want, but this long-winded paragraph leading the snicker bars isn't going to change make it healthy.

    Incidentally, I wonder it this will work to get past a food craving. Eat it until you hate it, lol.

    I had friends who worked at Baskin Robbins or a fro yo place in high school, and they ended up hating ice cream.

    (I worked in a plant shop in high school and don't really like gardening even now, hmm.)

    Yeah, flying always means water weight for me too.

    Back! Lost .4 lbs that week. Flight problems, grad school, and tornadoes have kept me busy (yay tornado season....); will provide more detail later.

    good for the loss, bad for the crummy stuff keeping you busy, but I'm really interested to hear about your experiment!

    If I had nothing but Snickers bars for that long it might take a few weeks before I was ready to talk about it :s congratulations on the weight loss you clearly have iron clad resolve (and a life threatening allergy)

    I'm interested on how it turns out. I don't eat protein bar but decided to try the quest bars today.. Big mistake, I was in the fetal position for a few hours and it totally wrecked my day

    Same! It's the whey I think, for me.
