I just saw an advert on the front of a magazine for a 'chips, chocolate and cheese diet' as a way to lose weight.

I am not kidding.

    If this info was legit, I'd already be thin. Chips, chocolate, and cheese are part of the reason I joined MFP!

    Anything will work if you monitor calories.

    Most things will work if you monitor calories. I could get the requisite calories from eating 2 Penn Station chocolate chip cookies a day, but I'm pretty sure I'd be malnourished.

    You'd lose weight if you only ate 1200 calories of chips, chocolate and cheese and nothing else. It's not like those foods make you fat no matter how much of them you eat. You wouldn't be healthy, but you'd lose weight.

    Oh I'm not saying you should never eat this stuff. It was just the idea of selling a diet that is mainly constituted of chips, chocolate and cheese. It's just not healthy.

    I doubt it's based on that, it's just the tease to get people to read it.
