After so many depressingly incorrect articles full of absolute silliness, it is SO NICE to see a news organization put out accurate, insightful, common-sense information on how to lose weight, for once, and it doesn't even involve ACV:

Although the author used a different app, there was a hat tip to MFP.

LOL, I don't know why I put it in the debate section....just habit I guess! It's just telling most of us what we already know, but it's definitely heartening after reading the many articles that say calorie counting doesn't work.2
