[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, of course you can.

Except for a tiny percentage of people who actually have a legitimate disease, "cortisol," "metabolism," "genetics," are all excuses people make because they can't or won't follow CICO. [b]Yes, some of these factors can actually affect the rate your body burns calories, but that is completely irrelevant to weight loss, because all that means is you have to readjust your CICO calculation. [/b]

Literally all you have to do is eat fewer calories than you burn. It doesn't matter where on your body the fat is, it doesn't matter how you gained it. If you eat fewer calories than you burn for a sustained period of time you will lose the fat eventually. It's basic thermodynamics. Your body is not a exception to the laws of physics. If you "are eating fewer calories than I burn and still aren't losing weight," there's not some magic situation happening, you're calculating CI or CO wrong and need to eat less or exercise more.

Yeah, that's not "completely irrelevant to weight loss" when one's metabolism has slowed down to burn about 1300 calories a day. Someone who burns 2000 calories a day can drop down to 1500 and lose weight and it's very doable. Someone who has to drop down to 800 calories a day -- and yes, these folks exist -- can lose their mind.

So you actually sound ignorant with this condescending "It's basic thermodynamics" and "Your body is not an exception to the laws of physics" stuff. Can you argue that what you are saying is technically accurate? Sure. Is it judgmental and more importantly so misleading as to be completely unhelpful? Yes. [/quote]
