The Personalized Weight Loss Revolution

Despite what many "experts" would lead you to believe, weight loss boils down to simple math: calories in vs. calories out. To shed pounds, you have to end each day with a calorie deficit. It sounds easy enough, but studies show that 63 percent of Americans grossly underestimate their daily calorie intake. In fact, the average American consumes a staggering 2,700 calories a day — for many Americans, that's enough calories to gain up to 8 pounds every month!
