IMO all that sugar is going to catch up to him if he did it for any extended period of time, though and cause health problems. His health indicators improved short-term, likely from the weight loss mostly, but long-term I don't think someone living off sugar will survive.

fact.
the diet he did is called the christian diet/ the twinkie diet. some important things to consider::
Unlike most individuals who would live on twinkies and junk food, Mark started off with a very good health history and diet. The healthy basis gave him a proper foundation, allowing him to veer off his healthy lifestyle for a short period of time.
Even though Mark lived on junk food, he tried to remain active, which is an important piece of the equation.
Mark supplemented his ?Twinkie Diet? with vitamins and protein shakes. He also ate vegetables daily.
The story makes no mention of Mark?s overall energy level, which can often be depleted due to a high calorie, low nutrition diet (of the Twinkie Diet variety).
Mark only went on this diet for 10 weeks. The results would surely be different if he continued this diet continuously for months on end, as, unfortunately many people do.
