Default My "diet" is cookies and chocolate and I actually losing weight onit

Al Bundy once said that we should live like the mighty cockroach. Look
what they eat, and they can survive a nuclear war!

I would like to know why my "diet" actually causes me to lose weight.

Due to a condition I had since early childhood, eating has been
difficult for me. So, my doctor (I see him every six weeks) said he
does care what I eat at the moment, as long as it's something.

So what do I eat all day? Cookies, chocolate, potato chips, maybe a
couple slices of bread, gummies. Maybe, a couple times a week, I may
have some meat, a few days a week I'll have a serving or two of fruit.
What do I drink? Kool-aid. (Artificial sweetener, though.) Ice cream
once in a while. 1 1/2 cup serving or so.

When I do eat meat, it's baked chicken (skin on of course) usually
though sometimes fried, or fried hamburger. Potatoes? Only French
fries (or coward fries I guess they should be called).

Over the course of this "diet", I've lost 40 pounds! Health? I just
had blood work done. I'm healthy as a horse. My cholesterol is 143.
HDL is 71 and LDL is 72. Yes, my "good" cholesterol is actually higher
than my bad cholesterol. My weight is currently 125 lbs.

I'm not saying this to brag. I'm actually wondering why such a
high-calorie diet actually causes weight loss. Could it be that
calories itself is not the sole cause of weight gain, but that calories
must work in conjunction with a binding agent in order to turn into fat?

Are we so "health conscious" in our eating that we have eaten ourselves
into a losing game? Would "diets" actually work better if we didn't
concern ourselves with starvation or denial of what we actually want
and...apparently...need?

Thoughts?

You may be losing weight for some kind of freaky reason, but this is
an awful diet which will surely destroy your health. You sound like an
extremely stupid person. Every day you eat this crap diet, your body
is being degraded and prematurely aging. Have fun with your terrible
health.
