Toggle Commented Nov 11, 2011 on Bodybugg®: Weight Loss Secret Weapon at The Healthy Food Review (TM)
Of course the Bodybugg doesn't melt fat away, and it's a tool, but most people simply have no idea what they are and aren't burning, so they are in the dark when it comes to creating the caloric deficit needed to lose weight. Also, it's not true at all that you have to keep a separate food journal--with the online subscription, you select the foods you eat each day from the provided list or enter your own, and the calories, protein, fat, fiber are instantly totaled for you and compared against the calorie burn Bodybugg is reporting, so you can easily see if you're ahead of behind each day in your calorie deficit or maintenance goal. Simple!
