[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people with any basic knowledge of diet and nutrition don't believe in CICO [/quote]

Yes, I guess my years of bio[b]medical [/b]training, and the years of my husband's [b]medical training[/b], are NOTHING.

It has always been calories in, calories out. But people who have a hard time controlling the input will not be happy with the output. This is not a judgement, since I've struggled with that part myself. But at least I don't lie to myself. When I reduce calories, I lose weight. It's very simple, and sometimes simple is very hard to do. People don't get that simple might be hard.

In the context of basic knowledge about nutrition? Yes -- nothing. Or next to nothing.

This thread puts me in mind of folks shouting down Galileo; the investment in CICO being the end of the story is overly emotional for some reason, and people can't accept that science is already moving far past that idea. [/quote]

Overly emotional. That’s how I feel about people who deny CICO. Even after we determined the earth is round, people swore it was flat.[/quote]
