      What's so hard to accept that CICO doesn't fully capture the full picture of the digestive process and that you have to factor in hormones too?

      You seriously think that eating purely 2000 calories of fries a day will have the same outcome as 2000 calories of steak a day? Kys dumbass

        NTA, but it's equally facetious to ignore the role that overall energy intake (measured in calories) has on hormones.

        If someone's TDEE is higher than 2000 then they will lose weight. If it is lower then they will gain weight. Sorry fatty. Fork putdowns are your only option.

                The answer is because people were tricked into believing CICO.

                As belief in CICO increased so did the obesity epidemic. Because CICO is a lie. Thinking calories matter causes obesity.

                Everyone generally believes in the calorie psyop. Belief in the relevance of calories makes it impossible to lose weight, because calorie estimates are not actually relevant.

                Once you stop believing the calorie hoax it becomes extremely easy to lose weight and keep it off forever.

        It isn't hard to accept. I just treat it like upper and lower bounds and use it to guage my hunger relative to what I ate. Low satiety for high calories = trash. High satiety for low calories = good but probably not really being digested well.
        High satiety for mid range calories = target foods. Wouldn't you know it, that comes out to lots of meat, good vegetables on the side, very few starchy carbs like beans and rice, almost no refined carbs like American bread or sugar. A small amount of fresh or frozen berries is fine

    Yes, cico is the ultimate truth. There has been different diets around the world for ages, some emphasize on carbs, others on fat, etc. The truth is obesity is caused by too many calories. I was shocked by the size of servings in the USA. I was shocked by the size of packages at the supermarket. In my country, chips 99% of the time is 85g packages (eating them all is around 300 calories). Nobody buys bigger than that unless they're having a party with many guests. A lot of food here is really calorie dense (ice cream, pastries, prosciutto, pizza, a shitton of different breads and cheese etc) but the servings would make you starve

                Your pic related shows "models" or theories, not tested reality. Yes, some people, if they exercise, will compensate by being more inactive later on, balancing out their total TDEE somewhat.
                It takes anywhere from 2500 to 4000kcal to run a marathon. Adding on the calorie burn from basic metabolic processes means that the day you run a marathon, you must have burned anywhere from 4000-6000kcal total.

        CICO is a simplification. You don't actually know how much you burn, that's why you use a margin of error and adjust. If you start by eating 2200 a day for a month and you lose 1 pound, try eating 1800 for a month.

    It's surface area.
    Powdered carbs vs whole food carbs have a much higher surface area and don't require chewing or as much enzymatic activity to digest and absorb.

    Imagine eating 200g of raw potato vs 200g of mashed potato. Same calories, but your body spends much more energy chewing and digesting raw potato and mashed potato.
    This doesn't disprove CICO, it just demonstrates that food texture affects CICO via modulating the thermic effect.

        It's both. Because powdered/blended foods are very rapidly absorbed compared to whole/raw/natural foods, they will induce an exaggerated hormonal response because even though the same total amount of calories are in the meal, they are absorbed more rapidly, causing a sharper increase in blood concentration of sugar, lipids, etc.

        Insulin injection spot fat gain is because insulin shuttles in nutrition in blood into the fat cells, so because he had locally extreme insulin levels those cells were superabsorbent. But nutrition in the blood isn't infinite so it's doubtful whether the total overall fat mass increases. We know protein increases insulin secretion but it's at the same time both satiating and antiobesogenic.

            Which makes sense right, since blood sugar levels are important for keeping you alive, if you suck loads of sugar into your cells you become hypoglycemic. Also, if you don't eat more than usual, you might maintain blood sugar levels through cortisol, which is obesogenic (see cushings). The key should be a diet which appropriately keeps you feeling satiated and energized while in a caloric deficit.

              Yes, the cure for obesity is a low-carb diet.

              However people with an insulinoma should get that treated first. Weight loss would likely be impossible with permanently high insulin.

                Good observation. A healthy diet will restore you to health whatever your starting point is. That means it should cause weight gain in underweight people, and weight loss in overweight people. As well as curing diseases like type 2 diabetes.

                Animal-based keto and/or carnivore diets are the healthiest possible.

                No matter how slow your metabolism are, you still need fixed amount of energy to produce certain amount of force, and since your body does not have infinite energy, physical activity increases energy expenditure.

                So then they regained weight when they stopped adhering to CICO principles. This doesn't "disprove" CICO.
                The contestants have lower (not slower) metabolism because they have lost muscle mass as a result of their continued sedentary lifestyles. Lower FFM = lower energy expenditure, even at rest.

                You labelled the intervention group " eat less, exercise more." They were not instructed to eat less / reduce calories or to exercise more. You are a liar.

        It is a law of nature that your energy expenditure is constrained by your body size.

        The idea that you can increase your energy expenditure is childish fantasy. It's like believing that if you plug a 100kW item into a 7kW generator the generator will magically create 100kW of energy to match the demand.

          You can lose weight by lowering insulin. You can gain weight by raising insulin.

    You can tell that ketogays are likely fat because they ask questions like "would 2000 calories of candy and hot pockets have the same effect as 2000 calories of steak?" A ton of people have lived the life of being skinny with shit diets. That's actually the vast majority of skinny people. That was the majority of skinny ISTizens. Back when IST was good, we would laugh at people who tried to 'dirty bulk' but wouldn't gain weight. They thought that eating a couple of slices of pizza per day would be enough to gain weight, but they would fail because that would be all they ate, and IST understood CICO back then.

                When the calorie psyop was adopted by the US government, food manufacturers changed their foods to be low-fat. This causes obesity because fat is satiating but carbs are not satiating. Pic related.

                People who notice they are getting obese try to eat less, because they fell for the calorie psyop themselves. Traditional wisdom was to cut out sweets and starches. Sugar Information Inc made sure people lost their traditional method of weight control.

                This causes weight to spiral out of control. All as a result of the calorie hoax.

                Do you think people who end up 600-lbs never tried dieting? Of course they did. CICO doesn't work so their diets inevitably fail and they end up fatter than when they started.
