[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm new to this topic, why is CICO threatening to the posters in this thread?  I mean, it's clearly true in some sense (it's literally tautological) even if there can be additional context.  [/quote]

Because they assume overweight people are overeating unhealthy food, when that is not universally true. Some have inefficient or even ineffective metabolisms, and that is where we need better research. Not more diet fads.[/quote]

In my personal experience, twice I went off hormonal birth control and gained 10+ lbs in a ridiculously short period of time (less than one month) while remaining active and eating normally. I have PCOS and depending on what my hormones are doing I am either easily at the low end of my weight range or trying so hard and staying stuck at the top.[b] For women, or at least many of us, hormones play such a large role. [/b]I’m lucky in that the top of my weight range is not overweight bmi, but it’s all in my middle which is the most unhealthy place to store fat and impacts how I feel about my body. [/quote]
