New Research: It may not be as simple as CICO?
I considered putting this in Debates - Mods, if you think this should be moved, please do. (I'm not trying to start an argument or debunk people's beliefs, just add something new to the discussion.) Here is a fascinating article titled: "Why Crash Weight Loss Programs Don't Work: Clues From Hunter-Gatherer Societies"…

Food Scale recommendations? (US)

Ideally I'd like on that is: - Accurate! - Inexpensive - Digital (nice but not necessary) - Small "footprint" on the counter - Battery or plug-in is OK I tried to do a topic seacrh, but the search terms "food" and "scale" were just too…
