an apple a day, anyone?

Ok, so I subscribe to Shape magazine, which often has interesting stuff that I faithfully ignore. But one of their ads in the newest issue is for this Golds-Gym-sponsored weight loss program thing, in which they’re stipulating an apple 1/2 hour before each meal, 3 times a day, as a, well, weight-loss plan. They’re doing a 12 week challenge which requires no entry fee, although they’ve got a “Total Success Kit” you can buy for nine bucks. The grand prize is $50,000. I think it actually sounds like sort of…
