[quote=Anonymous][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. 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.

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.

Nobody in the medical field who treats overweight/obesity still parrots CICO except doctors who haven't bothered to learn anything about nutritional biochemistry - which is many of them granted, since they aren't taught anything about this in medical school.

Yes in a general sense you must burn more than you consume to lose weight. BUT, the quality and type of energy that you consume matters massively in cultivating healthy weight loss. Our bodies use different calories differently - the slurry turned to processed food products that make up 60-70% of the American diet is processed differently by the gut than whole fiber rich real food is. Eating clean 90% of the time is the key to healthy weight loss - not just fewer calories of Big Macs and Little Debbie snack cakes.[/quote]

Turns out both of you are right because the intersection between people eating way out of energy balance and people eating big piles of garbage is extremely high. So high it’s 99% of the problem with people carrying too much weight anyways, which is actually a biological mechanism to have you roll around with extra energy for lean times. But now there are no lean times because people eat random shit at random times because they are “stressed”, bored, or undisciplined and unorganized or a combination of all of that. [/quote]
