For a lot of people, that seems a bit confusing, and people frankly don’t even really look at labels all that much, and it hasn’t been effective at weight loss tools across the country and across the world. And so these researchers in the UK actually looked into this and said, ‘What if we, instead of add calories, added the amount of exercise you need to burn off those calories?’”
