When it comes to body change, there’s no topic more polarizing than “calories in vs. calories out.” Some argue it’s the be-all and end-all of weight loss.

In fact, maintaining your progress might be even harder than dropping those pounds in the first place.1 This is true even if you don’t crash diet. That’s because… What...
Is wine bad for you? Sure, some research cautions about an increased risk of cancer. It’s also clearly not something you want to drink before using a chainsaw or driving a minivan.
