RUSH: I\u2019m gonna have fun with this story on CNN. Ladies and gentlemen, those of you who have been here for a while know how I love stirring the pot, the conventional wisdom when it comes to diet and exercise. I just love it. I absolutely love it because the conventional wisdom on diet and exercise is all wrong. It\u2019s been all wrong for all time. A nutrition professor lost 27 pounds eating nothing but Twinkies. He lost 27 pounds, and his cholesterol went down. The bad cholesterol went down, the good cholesterol went up, triglycerides came down. All he did was eat Twinkies. When he got tired of Twinkies he went and got some Little Debbie stuff and then some other Hostess Cakes. He ate nothing but desert essentially and lost 27 pounds, and I am going to relish explaining this to you as the program unfolds today. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I told you I was gonna have fun with this story: ‘Twinkie Diet Helps Nutrition Professor Lose 27 Pounds.\u2019 I love stirring the conventional wisdom pot, as you know. And I love being right. Folks, it\u2019s a thrill. I have to tell you, you don\u2019t know what it\u2019s like to be right as often as I am, particularly when you\u2019re simply following instincts, when being right really doesn\u2019t have that much to do with formal education, just being street-wise smart, just having common sense, having the guts to say what you know to be true regardless what the reaction to it is gonna be and when it eventually is all proven like ‘I hope he fails,\u2019 all this stuff. <\/p>\n

What have I told you about diet and exercise? Exercise is irrelevant. What matters in losing weight is what you eat, pure and simple, and how much, nothing more than that. And everybody tries to tell me I\u2019m wrong, that I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about. And every time a story comes out on this I am validated, and nobody has ever said, ‘Rush, you know, you were right about this.\u2019 This is CNN, their Web page: ‘For 10 weeks, Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of these sugary cakelets every three hours, instead of meals. To add variety in his steady stream of Hostess and Little Debbie snacks, Haub munched on Doritos chips, sugary cereals and Oreos, too.\u2019 This is a nutrition professor. ‘His premise: That in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most — not the nutritional value of the food. The premise held up: On his ‘convenience store diet\u2019 –‘ now, remember, this is what Michelle (My Butt) — uh, that\u2019s the second time I\u2019ve done that and I apologize. <\/p>\n

You know, I have sworn, folks, that I\u2019m not gonna pass on stories to you that have to do with her fashion sense, \u2019cause I, frankly, don\u2019t care. I really don\u2019t care. But some of it\u2019s getting too hard to stomach now. The fact that she\u2019s a fashion icon, I\u2019m sorry. When she gets off the plane wearing something that looks like it\u2019s got grease splotches on the dress, looks like she ran up against the hydraulic machine on the airplane and they\u2019re calling it a fashion statement, I\u2019m sorry, it doesn\u2019t cut it with me. And I don\u2019t care. But when you go that far overboard to claim she\u2019s making fashion statements, like, they call it vintage. (interruption) No, I haven\u2019t forgotten the diet story. Look, it works here. They\u2019re calling it vintage. Go back and wear old-fashioned stuff that you shoulda thrown away from the eighties that you still have and then you mix it with what somebody bought you today and call it a fashion statement called vintage, when basically you wear what fits. You and I know a lot about that. You and I, we wear what fits, to hell with fashion. We don\u2019t have time for that. <\/p>\n

Anyway, Michelle Obama\u2019s on this big obesity kick, right? Gotta eat healthy stuff, gotta eat the garbage that she grows in the garden, nothing but fruits and vegetables. You can\u2019t go out and grab a burger like her husband does every chance he gets. I mean here comes some foreign leader, the last one was Dmitry Medvedev, and where does he take him? To a burger joint in Virginia. That\u2019s because he doesn\u2019t get to eat that stuff at home, and he is the president of the United States. So he\u2019s having to eat all this so-called healthy stuff and Michelle Obama wants to spend $400 million to combat food deserts. She\u2019s all upset that the only food available to poor urban people are convenience stores, the 7-Elevens. What did Biden say, you can\u2019t go in one without finding an Indian? Yeah, that\u2019s what Joe Bite Me said. So she\u2019s complaining about food deserts, and Michelle Obama wants to punish Big Food and Big Retail for not putting quality food stores in poor neighborhoods, right? And that\u2019s why there\u2019s an obesity epidemic, right? <\/p>\n

Okay, along comes Mark Haub, professor, human nutrition, Kansas State University, who ate a Twinkie every three hours, and when he got tired of Twinkies, he ate Doritos, sugar cereals, and Oreos. And he was out there to prove that pure calorie counting is what matters most, not the nutritional value of the food. And the premise held up on his convenience store diet available in what Michelle calls food deserts. He lost 27 pounds in two months eating Twinkies, Doritos, Oreos, and sugar cereals. ‘For a class project, Haub limited himself to less than 1,800 calories a day.\u2019 He didn\u2019t care where they came from. It was 1,800 calories. ‘A man of Haub\u2019s pre-dieting size usually consumes about 2,600 calories daily. So he followed a basic principle of weight loss: He consumed significantly fewer calories than he burned. His body mass index went from 28.8, considered overweight, to 24.9, which is normal. He now weighs 174 pounds.\u2019 He weighed 201. <\/p>\n

‘But you might expect other indicators of health would have suffered. Not so. Haub\u2019s ‘bad\u2019 cholesterol dropped 20 percent on a diet of –‘ Dawn, are you listening to this or are you ignoring me on purpose? Kathryn, you hear this? She sent me a note up there, ‘Don\u2019t get any Twinkie ideas.\u2019 (laughing) When I first mentioned this in the first segment she sent me an instant message, ‘Don\u2019t you get any Twinkie ideas.\u2019 Kathryn, are you hearing me on this? Nothing but Twinkies. I don\u2019t even like \u2019em, don\u2019t worry, I don\u2019t like Twinkies. I don\u2019t like hostess cupcakes. If you like \u2019em, fine. Now, I am a sucker for Doritos. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t have them in the house. I am a sucker for Doritos. I don\u2019t like sugar cereals and I don\u2019t like Oreos. I\u2019m not a big sugar guy. Yeah, salted snacks, I\u2019m right in there. Well, you do need to balance that stuff out with the occasional Twinkie because you need to go from the salt to the sugar. That\u2019s why people eat Carmel corn instead of regular popcorn. That\u2019s why sometimes you\u2019ll see people at the movies eat popcorn with butter on it and then go grab a Snickers. All I\u2019m telling you is if you do that and keep it under 1800 calories you are going to lose weight. That\u2019s what this guy has proven here, and his cholesterol went down, his good cholesterol went up. He reduced the level of triglycerides by 39% eating this so-called junk food. <\/p>\n

Let me tell you something else. Marvin Harrison, number 88, wide receiver, Indianapolis Colts, recognized as one of the finest wide receivers in the history of pro football, no longer playing, eight nothing but junk food. He was known as a junk food junky. You ever seen Marvin Harrison? String bean. Now, granted he\u2019s out there running the equivalent of a marathon every week, but still. It doesn\u2019t matter. I maintain he\u2019d have looked the way he looked regardless. He was able to eat more of it, is the point. Exercise doesn\u2019t matter. If you run a marathon every week, yeah, you\u2019re gonna be burning some calories, but not as many as you think. Don\u2019t distract me. ”That\u2019s where the head scratching comes,\u2019 Haub said. ‘What does that mean? Does that mean I\u2019m healthier? Or does it mean how we define health from a biology standpoint, that we\u2019re missing something? … ‘I\u2019m not geared to say this is a good thing to do,\u2019 he said. ‘I\u2019m stuck in the middle. I guess that\u2019s the frustrating part. I can\u2019t give a concrete answer.” I went out and I ate this junk food and I lost weight, and I got healthier. <\/p>\n

‘Before his Twinkie diet, he tried to eat a healthy diet that included whole grains, dietary fiber, berries and bananas, vegetables –‘ basically he ate cardboard ‘– and occasional treats like pizza. ‘There seems to be a disconnect between eating healthy and being healthy,\u2019 Haub said. ‘It may not be the same. I was eating healthier, but I wasn\u2019t healthy. I was eating too much.\u2019 He maintained the same level of moderate physical activity as before going on the diet.\u2019 He didn\u2019t exercise any more than usual. ‘To avoid setting a bad example for his kids, Haub ate vegetables in front of his family.\u2019 But that was just to fake \u2019em out. So there you have it. Every six months or so we\u2019re gonna get a story like this, and it\u2019s just gonna confirm what I, old El Rushbo, have always said. It is incredible. And Snerdley, what makes it even more incredible is that I have known this instinctively all along. It is what you eat. It\u2019s the content. It\u2019s not all the health food garbage. It\u2019s calories in versus calories out, pure and simple. It\u2019s not health foods; it\u2019s not exercise, pure and simple. You gotta figure out how many calories at your body size and age that you can eat every day without gaining weight and then subtract from that, even if it\u2019s booze. If you go over the limit of calories, the whole thing\u2019s blown. <\/p>\n

In other words, if it takes 1800 calories a day to lose weight, and you eat 1900 or more, it doesn\u2019t matter what you eat. I know what you people think, ‘But, Rush, but, Rush, what about the Atkins diet, low carbohydrate, because you can eat all the protein you want?\u2019 Yes, you do at first. But after a while, you people who have been on that diet admit it to me, you lose your appetite after a while. One of the effects of a no-carb diet, high protein diet is called ketosis, and that\u2019s an appetite suppressant. That\u2019s how that diet works, for the time it works. Don\u2019t doubt me on this stuff. That\u2019s just all I\u2019m telling you.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ll never forget when I was on William Shatner\u2019s show on Bravo, Raw Nerve, and during the interview he asked, ‘How do you know?\u2019 I was so certain about something. ‘How do you know?\u2019 I said, ‘Because it\u2019s my job to know.\u2019 ‘How do you know all this?\u2019 One of the reasons I know what I know is that I know liberals, and I know liberals lie, and if Michelle Obama\u2019s gonna be out there ripping into ‘food desserts\u2019 and saying, ‘This is why people are fat,\u2019 I know it\u2019s not true. ‘Rush, do you really believe that? It\u2019s that simple to you, liberals lie?\u2019 Yes, it is, folks. Once you learn that, once you come to grips with that, once you accept that, the rest is easy. Very, very simple. Now, my doctor has never told me to restrict any intake of salt, but if he did, I wouldn\u2019t. I\u2019d just spend more time in the steam or the sauna sweating it out. <\/p>\n

There are more than two ways, three ways to skin a cat. (interruption) Well, you sweat it out, Snerdley. Absolutely right. If the idea is to limit your intake of salt, then just go ahead and intake it and sweat it out. What do you think you\u2019re sweating, Snerdley? Why do you think your dog wants to lick you when you\u2019ve been sweating like crazy? Or your cat, it doesn\u2019t matter. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: David, Aventura, Florida, welcome to the EIB Network. Great to have you here.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: Thanks, Rush. I agree with you a hundred percent, and I\u2019ve been in this field for about 35 years.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Thank you very much. Which field?<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: The exercise and nutrition field.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Oh, exercise and nutrition.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: I\u2019ve been a trainer for over 35 years, and I keep meaning to call you and telling you how right you are about it, not because of any other reason because you are right.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Specifically right about what?<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: About the calories in. It\u2019s the total number of calories, it always has been.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: So exercise is not that big a factor in losing weight but why does it matter?<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: Absolutely a zero factor, believe it or not. Your body will adapt to it over time and it will be part of your lifestyle. Therefore it\u2019s not calories out. It\u2019s all 100% calories in.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: Okay, so if exercise increases your appetite, you\u2019ll just eat more.<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: That\u2019s psychological. I\u2019ve never been able to measure that. I don\u2019t believe it does. Never does anything for me except for making me more tired. And many people more tired.<\/line> <\/line> RUSH: But you\u2019re a trainer, so — well, wait a minute, though. You said you were a trainer so I assume means you\u2019re an exercise trainer. There\u2019s obviously some value in it. Why do you do it?<\/line> <\/line> CALLER: Oh, yeah. If you do it properly, it makes you more efficient human being. It makes you stronger, more efficient in doing things better, but many of the claims that they have out there in the field of exercise are specious.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Like weight loss?<\/p>\n

CALLER: They seem like they\u2019re a good idea, but not really.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Like weight loss.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Weight loss, absolutely not. It\u2019s a very inefficient, very poor mode for weight loss.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very hard, too, \u2019cause all it does is make you hungrier. At least that\u2019s me. It increases my appetite.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can\u2019t tell you how many people… No, David, I\u2019m serious. I can\u2019t tell you how many people I know who do exercise a lot who tell me the reason they do it is so they can eat a lot, they love to eat and so they exercise to accommodate for how much they\u2019re eating.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s funny because we see a lot of people that acquiesce to that, and in my opinion they\u2019re just fat active people. Okay? I\u2019ll do you one better than that: There\u2019s no such thing as cardiovascular exercise.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, now, that\u2019s controversial. That\u2019s gonna light some fires out there. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s no such thing!<\/p>\n

CALLER: If you look at it, don\u2019t you seek the truth in economics and philosophy?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I do.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well? <\/p>\n

RUSH: I do, but cardiovascular exercise is one of these unmitigated truths. I mean, it\u2019s just accepted.<\/p>\n

CALLER: There, you just said it: It\u2019s accepted. It\u2019s traditionally accepted without scrutiny, just like liberalism is traditionally accepted and passed down without scrutiny. Of course, I\u2019m a conservative or I wouldn\u2019t call the show. (laughs)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I know but you\u2019re gonna have explain to people. What\u2019s the ruse? What do people…? What are they mistaken about when they think they\u2019re helping themselves doing cardiovascular exercise? Are you saying it doesn\u2019t strengthen the heart? It doesn\u2019t strengthen your cardiovascular system?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, it strengthens the skeletal muscles involved. It makes them very skillful at performing said recreation, said sports, said activity. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Ah ha!<\/p>\n

CALLER: But it doesn\u2019t make your heart any healthier.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me go at this a different way. Let me ask you a question. All during junior high school, grade school and junior high school we had the President\u2019s Physical Fitness Test we had to do twice or three times a year, and one of the things you had to do the 600-yard walk and\/or run in a certain amount of time. <\/p>\n

CALLER: I did that. Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, okay. I don\u2019t care what I weighed, I could not run 600 yards straight. I had to stop and walk some of it. Now, your theory is no matter how much cardiovascular I did, that would not change?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. Absolutely not. It\u2019s a specific activity unto itself.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So when Coach Mike Shanahan of the Washington, DC, Redskins says, ‘I pulled Donovan McNabb because he wasn\u2019t cardiovascular prepared to run the two-minute drill,\u2019 uhhh.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I found that to be ridiculous when I heard about that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well (laughing), you\u2019re right. I can\u2019t tell you why I know, but you\u2019re right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I found that to be absolutely ludicrous, but I find a lot of those things to be ludicrous. So, yeah. What I\u2019m saying is, it\u2019s your skeletal muscles that perform the work. The heart gets specifically so-called conditioned for that set activity. If you really want to… It\u2019s a very accepted, traditional thing because it\u2019s not your heart or vascular system that performs the work; it\u2019s skeletal muscles. So it\u2019s most important to find the most efficient way to work your skeletal muscles and let your heart do what it does best is keep you alive.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. Well, that makes all the sense in the world to me. I don\u2019t doubt any of it. I have known some professional athletes, particularly NFL players, who smoke three packs of cigarettes a day, who were among the best at their positions. (interruption) What? Yeah. I know I\u2019ve done it. I step in it every time this subject comes up. Every time. Every time it comes up, I\u2019m the one that doesn\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about. I\u2019m well aware of it, Snerdley. It\u2019s been my lot in life.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: How many of you happened to see either the actual live coverage of the New York City marathon yesterday or maybe some highlights of it later on? Did you see it? Look at the people who ran in the New York City marathon. Most of them looked like death eating a cracker.
