[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teenage dd eats a ton more than I do and is super thin. No she doesn’t purge. It’s definitely not CiCO or I would be as thin as she is :)[/quote]

No, you wouldn't. Your assumption is that you, a middle aged woman, have the same energy expenditure and metabolism as a teenager. CICO takes metabolism and energy expenditure into account.

If we could, with 100% accuracy, determine someone's energy expenditure and that was the same every day for 2 people and they ate the same calories as that number they would weigh the same and if they ate that number they would not lose or gain weight.  [/quote]

Well then I feel like it’s worthless to judge people then, if we do take metabolism into account, because most days I walk many more steps per day than my dd does as part of my job and some weeks I work out a lot more than she does and yet she continues to be a stick when I’m decidedly not. So why do we talk about this as a calculation?[/quote]

Because CICO people say…

It’s how much you eat

Then we say no it’s how much your body uptakes

Then they say no it’s not

Then you say you eat the same as your daughter and she’s thin

Then they say it’s her caloric uptake is different due to metabolism

And then we say exactly it’s not how much you eat

Then they say no it’s how much you eat

They contradict themselves because they lack basic common sense, knowledge of biology and are gonna die on this hill no matter how wrong.[/quote]

Around the edges there are differences sure. But that’s not the explanation for the current problem. The obesity prevalence didn’t exist 50 years ago.

People eat garbage and too much of it. The end. [/quote]

Oh, you typed "the end"? Well I guess it is fully settled, and we can forget all that silly science, data, and experience.

Now do who killed JFK please.

/You're not well informed, and you know it.  And your point about increased obesity rates refutes your position rather than supports it.  Baffles me how you don't see that.[/quote]

Let me guess; it’s the GMO tomatoes that are making people fat[/quote]

You keep serving up those gems of genius.  It will go a long way to making people see your point.[/quote]

I guess I could be part of the always a victim crowd that refuses to believe humans have free agency and are capable of controlling their own weight. Sounds like a great way to live blaming all sorts of external reasons instead of facing the facts about obesity.

The hits just keep on coming!

No one is crying victim here except for you, snowflake.  The rest of us follow the science and the data.[/quote]

Then go read the label. The mechanisms of action are literally labeled under a heading. Maybe you don’t understand “the science.”

Making this as elaborate as possible to put the problem on somebody else and not the actual person is so transparent it it’s funny. [/quote]

Can you articulate this word salad or did your cat walk across the keyboard?[/quote]
