I'm on a low calorie diet right now, and I've already lost about 5 pounds since I started. I'm just wondering if I eat junk food every so often, but still stay at an amount of calories that I've limited myself to so I can lose weight, will it have any affect?
Will the junk food, although within my daily limit of calories, affect my body negatively by gaining back weight or anything like that?
Additional info, added Saturday April 22 2006, 11:20 pm: By junk food what I mean is things like a cinnamon bun or a cookie or something. I'd count them under calories when adding it up for a day however.. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?

Low calorie. It;s about staying within the limits right? So, if your not going outside the limits you should still lose weight. It doesn't mean it's healthy for you, but you'll still lose the weight. [ TattooedXRoses's advice column | Ask TattooedXRoses A Question ]

Look let's take a logical look at the situation-
-You are on an already restricted calorie diet so you body is not performing at its peak.
-You probably don't eat freuqently enough (6 meals) throughout the day for this to work
-You want to ingest empty calories that have absolutely no value to them at all whether it's a low calorie diet or not.
Cheating doesn't mean eating a whole bag of cheese doodles or a half a pizza...maybe a few cheese doodles and a slice or 2 at the most of pizza every about 4 weeks. If you cheat every single week...guess what's happening? Thats right you are going to get fat and your diet will crash. I could get all technical and all that stuff but here it is simply:
