Is it possible to lose weight by eating only trail mix?

I love the taste of it and when you look at the ingredients (nuts, dried fruits, granola) it's all healthy, fiber-rich stuff. There really isn't anything else that's healthy that I like the taste of, so I wanna know. If I just live entirely off of trail mix and water, is it possible to lose weight?

No, not really.

Trail mix is designed to be eaten when on the go in a physically strenuous environment. You are supposed to be burning it all off.

Let's take a look at the contents of basic trail mix:

1. Peanuts: Salty and high fat and protein.

2. Raisins: Low fat, but high in calories and sugar

3. M&Ms: Yummy, chocolaty goodness.

These ingredients provide quick energy and calories. It's for short bursts, not long term nutrition. With your plan, you will probably gain weight. You need a better plan.

M&Ms? I don't know of any trail mix that has M&Ms. The ones I see consist of granola, nuts, and dried fruits.

I've always seen trail mix with M&Ms.

not a good idea, mainly because you would bee missing out on so many other "better" things to eat, like fruits that will detox your body and help you lose weight.

this is not a healthy diet plan. if you want to lose weight, I would highly recommened the diet based on your blood type. you can find online the foods that will make you lose weight, or that will make you gain weight based on the blood type. I know a lot of people that have tried it, and has worked. good luck!

I mean, sure that's possible, but you'll probably also get extremely malnourished, and that's just generally not a good weight loss plan.

BUt I say, try and find a middle ground, combine the trail mix with other foods that will give youa wide range of benefits. Best of luck :D
