No, I don't believe so.
When you eat sugar, your blood sugar skyrockets, releasing the hormone insulin, which is the fat-storing hormone. That sudden release of insulin helps balance out the sugar, but it overcompensates. Then you experience the blood sugar crash, which is the feeling of fatigue and a craving for more sugar. You eat more sugar and it starts all over again. The more you eat, the more you crave. Do this often enough and you set yourself up for diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, etc.
You'd also be depriving your body of necessary vitamins, and in short, doing absolutely nothing for your body.
Not only that, but it takes 3500 calories to gain one pound. Think of how EASY it is to eat 3500 calories of junk food, particularly if you're experiencing the aforementioned cravings. It's very easy to consume that much in a short amount of time because junk food is calorie dense. Do this on a regular basis and definitely, you'd gain weight. It's a lot harder to eat 3500 calories of vegetables, because they contain fiber and are filling.

There is one simple equation that leads to weight loss.
Burn more calories than you eat.
If you eat all junk food, but keep the calorie count under whatever you are burning, than yes you will lose weight. You may develop other health problems and this diet would not be recommended by anyone. It really is best to eat correctly.

I have heard that. I eat very healthy and can't lose weight, and my sis eats nothing but junk food and she is as skinny as a toothpick.

Not only are junk food calories high, but you may end up with more than you bargain for; diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.

Because the foods you'd be eating are empty calories, you get fat and unhealthy. Reference "Super Size Me" for this.

Maybe. BUT you wouldn't be very heatlhy for it. So you would just trade one problem for another. Not a good idea
