Answer this Please :-)

It's possibly you still might lose weight, but chances are it'll be a struggle. If you still eat "junk food" your body wont be getting the proper nutrition it needs and won't work as well as it should. it's good to have a cheat day once in awhile, but for the mos tpart, you should try to eat as healthy as you can.

Every body is different. I would try yours and see. My mom ate high fat foods and lost 50lbs in like 6 months at the 1-2lb a week limit. I eat higher fat foods and have lost weight, but I feel like it's been a struggle. If it's what YOU need to do for YOU to be happy losing weights, try it. If you want to see if the other way is more effective, try it. Because if it doesn't work for YOU, you wont keep up with it.

Weight loss seems to mostly come down to calories consumed. A while ago a guy did an experiment where he basically lost weight on stuff like Twinkies (with some multivitamins and such added to try to keep him from being too nutrient deficient) to demonstrate that even the most intensely junky of foods could bring about weight loss if the calorie count was right.

There are a couple of big things you should keep in mind when trying an approach like this, though. if your preferred foods are very junky and nutrient-poor, you probably will be robbing your body of the chance to get all of the nutrients it needs. A multivitamin may help, but it can't really overcome the lack of real foods in your diet.

Also, if you do not make changes to what you eat, you will pretty much have to count calories very closely forever, because your ability to keep from regaining weight will ALWAYS rely entirely on how much you are eating. In contrast, people who transition to eating a lot of vegetables and fruits ultimately have less of a need for close monitoring later on, because their diet is naturally low in calories (if you eat mainly vegetables, it's very difficult to eat 3000 calories in a day without noticing it!)

There are also many many benefits to eating healthy food that have nothing at all to do with your body weight.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with just cutting back on what you currently eat to get the calories in line so that you can get started on weight loss if you want to do that. Ideally, though, you should over time be trying to look for ways that you can reduce or eliminate whatever the least healthy things you eat now are, and begin to replace them with healthier foods. This often actually happens naturally, when you're staring at that 1500 calorie limit (or whatever) and you realize how tiny the serving of ice cream you want is going to have to be if you want to make it fit. It starts to feel less worth it when you really get a look at how much different foods cost against your 'budget'.

You could eat straight lard and still lose weight, so long as you consumed fewer calories than your body burned.

Of course, you would almost certainly die a horrible premature death.
