That message was pretty weak given that they did things like fill out restaurant meals with soda and milkshakes, but for the home cooked stuff they used black coffee and diet soda.

You can totally eat reasonable portions at restaurants. You can lose weight eating at restaurants. Yes, it's probably a bit harder, mostly because you don't fully control the portion sizes, but it's entirely possible. Many restaurants also have reduced calorie menus now.

Yes, you're right on all counts. The article was stacked, and anyone who cares already knows to avoid fries and milkshakes. And it is harder to count when eating out, but it is doable if you pay attention and slowly getting easier over time.
