Agreed. Everyone is overthinking it, and spending their brain cells on the wrong thing looking for that one panacea. Wanna get fit: watch what you eat, burn mo

  I agree there isn't a panacea, but small improvements can pay huge dividends over time. > burn more calories than you intake That's harder than it sounds. Most people incorrectly measure how many calories they intake and incorrectly measure how many calories they burn. Even for folks who correctly calculate both, they then have to change behaviors -- usually behaviors that have been developed over decades. Again, harder than it sounds. This is why so many people keep seeking out weight-loss solutions: because the best way isn't easy. While most folks today can pick any note software (or notebook) off the shelf and happily jot things down, a relative few folks are trying to do a _lot_ more with their notes and are going to be frustrated with the generic tools that most people use. For those few folks, the easy way isn't the best way. And this isn't new: depending how we categorize it (har), folks have been trying to refine their "note-taking" for hundreds or thousands of years. I don't think they were looking for a panacea; they were heavy thinkers who wanted to improve their process.
