[quote=Anonymous]Bodies, even when in peak physical condition, are just so different. Different muscularity, weight distribution, bone density, frame size, etc. It's always seemed odd to me that CICO could be broadly applied as a consistent and enduring solution to such a stubborn problem when people are so different. Why does one cancer treatment work to cure the same cancer in one person but not the other?

For the most part, if I restrict calories and increase exercise, I'm going to lose weight. Most people will. There just has to be more nuance in effectively losing it and keeping it off. Also, I see too much emphasis in simply being thin and reducing the number on the scale. Who cares if you weigh 120 lbs at 52 and can eat whatever you want and barely exercise? Good luck when you fall and break your hip at 60. There needs to be more focus on key markers for overall health and wellness like mobility, maintaining muscle mass, what foods actually nourish your body (could look different for different people).
