We are biological creatures who adapt and change. I have tried to eat way more healthy and gained weight. I don't consume as much food as I used to (I just don't enjoy eating), but when I do, I really like to eat the things that I crave. I am the person who orders desert first and then will take my meal home in a to-go box. I am ideal height, weight, body mass, etc. I may not be super-toned like a body builder, but I can hold my own at the pool.
Is this guy's diet for everyone? Heck no. I applaud everyone that has the ability and drive to maintain a healthy diet. I like reading everyone's progress on here, which motivates me to do a little better such as having a yogurt today versus my swiss cake roll for snack. Will I ever give up my junk food? Most likely no, but I can say that reading all of your posst has at least inspired me to eat a few almonds a day along with my reeses.

It's funny because when I was younger I was the same way. I ate everything in sight and always stayed the same, I would eat candy and snack cakes all day long and always stayed at 160-165 with a 29" waist and then came my mid forties and that all changed.
There are different body types, ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph and any combination of the three. This body type determines how foods affect your body, some can get away with eating anything but that type usually has trouble gainning weight and/or muscle, and there are those look at food and get fat and then those that lift there wee wee to take a leak and gain muscle but these are extremes and generally speaking the diet that guy follows is a recipie for disaster.
