    CI and CO doesn't mean anything since digestion is individual for everyone. Just because a lab rat gets fat on twinkies doesn't mean you will. And if anyone of you actually knew how calories are "measured" in a lab (literally burning food and then mouse shit), you wouldn't believe in junk science like CICO either.

    But none of you cares, because you are autists and autists fall for all and every propaganda.

    tl;dr: It doesn't matter how many calories that piece of bread has, what matters is how many calories your body is able to extract from it.

      Barring serious gut pathologies, this number does not vary significantly between individuals.

      How is it that every RCT that actually measures exactly how many calories people consume finds that consuming calories in excess of BMR + activity leads to weight gain, and that consuming a calorie deficit leads to weight loss?
      Your model can't explain that.
      tl;dr CICO may be a simplification of the biological processes within the human body,but its a simplified model that works.

        there's a study that I'm having a hard time finding that showed that a 1000 calorie surplus led to a gain of anywhere to like 10 lbs to 25 lbs of weight over a certain time period, it was highly variable.

        It really depends on how active you are at baseline. A more anxious and fidgety person or someone with ADHD is going to have a huge amount of NEAT daily.

          Of course it does, that's the CALORIES OUT part.
          How did they make sure that the 1000 calorie surplus was actually a 1000 calorie surplus? You can't just eat 1000 above your BMR and call it a day, because your activity levels can easily turn that 1000 surplus into a 700, 500, 200 surplus, or even energy balance.

      CICO is bullshit because your body tries to fight you every step of the way due to survival mechanisms, but bmi isn't 80% genetic, it's just bad behaviors and poor self control. You will lose weight if you starve yourself and cause yourself great pains, you just need the willpower to do so and that's where the cico argument becomes more bullshit, because your body will do things like increase hunger hormones that drive you insane or reduce NEAT to burn less calories. Ultimately you lose or gain weight by CICO, but there are many things that factor into it like hormones / mental instability. 100 calories of fat / carbs / protein have much different effects on your body, especially in terms of hunger.

      And that's exactly what I said, but humans are not machines.

      The CICO argument is the basis for most diet plans that have the most failure rates. It's no surprise that diet plans that manipulate the type of food going into your body (like keto / low carb) are some of the most successful diets.

      If a calorie is a calorie, you don't need to count your macros, you just need to hit your calorie goals.

      CICO is measurement. First you fatties said scales are bullshit and smashed them en masse. Then you denied the fact that you eat way too fricking much. Now you're denying calories, which is an amalgam of macronutrients that the body uses to create muscle and fat.
      You people hate objective reality and physical standards. Yes, CICO isn't the whole story, but it doesn't change the fact that all the Calories you're stuffing In your face are the same Calories going Out into your fatbodies. CICO.
      Please have a nice day instead of spreading your dumb fricking bullshit for people to read.

        CICO will help you lose a small amount of weight acutely, but will not help you long term. Pretty much every study on diet shows this. People with long term weight loss have much more drastic changes to their eating and exercise habits.

        I used to weigh 270 lbs at 5'11, 37 bmi, I lost 105 lbs, to about 24 bmi. You don't lose 105 lbs and keep it off by doing CICO. The type of food that you consume has to be much different.

            and fasting actually goes along with what I'm saying, if you are not consuming foods that are causing hormonal dysregulation which leads to more hunger, then you are not being motivated by your body to eat more.

            And I am actually implying that you are less hungry if you don't eat and you are more hungry if you do eat, depending on the quality of the food you are eating, of course.

            Wrong. I lost the weight by not consuming what I was when I was fat, just less of it. I lost the weight by adopting strategies that increased the quality of the food I was taking in, allowing me to be as satiated as I was before I started losing weight, with much less calories.

            It is only because you people are severely autistic that you think I am saying something that is actually counter to what you are saying.

                fasting is an accepted strategy, since you aren't consuming foods that will ultimately make you hungrier and your body has mechanisms in place that will regulate your hormones properly in the presence of fasting.

                You can then use the hunger of fasting to consume healthier nutrient dense foods since one of the ways your body tries to make you eat is by making any type of food taste good. Instead of getting the dopamine hit of fatty sugary food every few hours and the subsequent blood sugar spikes and drops.

                You are arguing in relation to an extremely narrow definition of CICO diets where any diet that results in eating less calories is CICO no matter what else it is.

                Anon is arguing in relation to a broader definition where diets that focus solely on counting calories which are food neutral are less effective (not effective at all) compared to diets that focus less or not at all on counting calories but rather on changing what food is eaten and when.

                You are fricking stupid for needing to have this explained to you. In addition the extremely narrow position you have taken is also fricking stupid because nobody cares about CICO except as a tool for weight loss so any discussion/definition of CICO which does not ultimately derive/link back to effectiveness at achieving sustained weight loss is pointless. Your definition is so narrow that it does not allow any kind of distinction to be made between calorie restriction diets and food substitution diets because "food substitution diets are still CICO you fricking dumbass" even though calorie restriction diets and food substitution diets are demonstrably different - one is more effective than the other.

                Two things which are different cannot be the same.

      You're not making an argument against CICO though, you're just positing a measurement problem. This is like saying gravity didn't exist before Newton gave us a formula for it. By tracking your activity and weight and varying food inputs you could even approximate a ratio between your TDEE and extracted energy content of different foods, with no calories involved whatsoever.

              You should be eating a healthy balanced diet regardless of whether you're trying to gain or lose weight. But then you should pay attention to the principles of CICO if you want to lose or gain weigh, and adjust the portions of your diet accordingly.

                lmao at your life

                denying the impact that factors other than CICO have on diet plan adherence.

                We know that taste is a preference and that sweet foods like cake basically don't fit into any kind of decent diet as more than an infrequent luxury. If you really fricking love cake then too fricking bad.

                The brainlet response to this issue is to just say "cultivate more willpower lmao". It's advice that has never worked and never will work - who can make straight that which God has made crooked? It's just a petty and coercive exercise of ego. But that's fine, because that's the POINT. Nobody is trying to help fatties here. Everyone is just trying to "explain" why they're fat in the most degrading terms as a way of establishing that because they are not fat they therefore are not those things.

                Fatties are fat because they're lazy. I'm not fat. Therefore I'm not lazy. Or, at the very least, no matter how lazy I am I am still better than a fatty. But you can't express it in those terms because 1 you're probably smart enough to see that that's bad logic so if you said it like that you couldn't believe it and 2 that's a little bit too much like bullying and you need to be able to phrase your platitudes in a way that's acceptable to society.

                Thus any explanation for fatness that isn't laziness has to be resisted. Accepting such an explanation would defeat what you're trying to do here because your goal is not to help fat people lose weight or solve the obesity public policy issues. You don't need accurate information about reality because you're not trying to accomplish anything. You're just here to exercise a grandiose self-concept of your own virtue at the expense of everyone else.

                I only ever managed to successfully lose weight when I stopped listening to IST. None of the advice here works.

                Sure. But knowledge of the law is of zero utility without knowledge of how to put it into practice.

                >"just eat fewer calories"
                Doesn't work. It's too simplistic of an analysis, like saying "just build a reactor lmao oh and don't let it get too hot." You can't break ground with just that information - you'll fail. And you can't lose weight with just the advice to "eat fewer calories" because you will also fail. "Eat fewer calories" doesn't provide enough guidance to deal with all the obstacles that will come up when you attempt to do that in reality.

                >"you should be able to deal with those problems yourself"
                Sure. It's not like any of this is rocket science. But every time a cohort hits a failure point some will drop out, and furthermore if we just gave people more information they wouldn't fail so often. Why should everyone have to solve their obesity through trial and error? Just give the proper advice from the start.

                And, to be fair, it's not like nobody's doing that. Very few people literally advocate calorie restriction only. I'm just responding to the overly reductive arguments being presented by multiple anons in this thread, and in every thread that comes up on this topic. It links back to what I wrote here:

                The problem we have is that choices dictate BMI but genetics dictate choices.

                morons and smoothbrains cannot cope with the second part of that sentence, and so we end up in this situation where all of the evidence points in one clear, uncontested direction and yet we're still unable to take action because of people who choose not to believe not based on any kind of reason or even self-interest, but simply based on personality and identity.

                If you're fit, and fitness is a product of virtue, then you're virtuous - and they're not. You're BETTER than them. That's a powerful incentive to believe things even when they're false. So long as your false beliefs have no actual consequences why WOULDN'T you believe them? If I got a hundred dollars every time I said the sky was red I'd say it every waking moment of every day. The sky is never going to turn red, and I get free money. Harmless.

                Some people get a free hit of feel-goodsies every time they say (phrases to the effect of) fitness is a product of virtue and there's no consequence for doing so, so they do it over and over and over again.

                Except there is a consequence for doing so. It's just that they're not the ones who suffer that consequence - as if my hundred dollars doesn't just come out of the ether but is taken from someone who needs it. So long as I never see that - so long as I never KNOW that, and I can choose not to know if I need to - then I can persist in my belief that what I'm doing is harmless and profitable. And this is even more pernicious because the people who say things like "fitness is a product of virtue" aren't lying, they're just wrong. They really do believe it. It's not something you can prove or disprove as easily as glancing upwards, like the colour of the sky is.

                Basically in short my point is that there is nothing redeemable about humanity and if I had power over all the ambulatory meat we call a society death camps would look like summer camps. Tips fedora.

                Nobody comes into these threads to have an argument. They just come here to dunk on fat people. The average IQ of IST has dropped so precipitously over the last decade or so that I barely even bother posting here anymore because every reply I get is super fricking moronic.

                Sure but that's not the sum total of life.

                I knew a really fat guy once (I mean super fricking fat, but he was also like 6'5, guy was just huge). He did zero exercise and ate tons of food, none of which he cooked - his wife made it for him and he also had lunches out almost every day with work (he was a pretty senior consultant so he was rarely actually in the office on any given day - he was usually meeting people over lunch or out on site). Anyway the point is that when it comes to food and exercise yeah, he was what I would call "lazy".

                On the other hand he worked all day every day including weekends, made huge amounts of money, and was almost singlehandedly responsible for saving a huge property development company from collapse due to cashflow issues by mediating with angry suppliers, reviewing expenses, and prioritising invoices. It's not like that's brain surgery but the sheer volume of work meant that it was a lot for any one person to do and he did all of it because the company wanted to keep it secret from their own employees that they were taking loans to pay salaries every single week. I wouldn't call that lazy.

                >It's disgusting when people deny individual responsibility and accountability and declare fat people to be victims of circumstance.
                Indeed. So don't get mad at me for holding you accountable for your ignorant, reductive, and wrong view of the world. Your self-serving narrative about how great you are is laughably transparent and relies on, essentially, your willing decision to subject yourself to a self-lobotomy. Nobody is moronic enough to believe that all fat people are inherently lazy but here you are saying it to forestall the crushing contempt you would feel for yourself if you accepted the reality of your lifetime of delusional self-aggrandizement.

          I’ve been doing my first cut for a week, I started counting cals for the first time ever and try to hit my protein. I’ve lost weight already. I don’t get how people can dispute it, just try it. It clearly makes you lose weight.

                >The Twinkie Diet: In an illustrative study of one, Mark Haub a professor of nutrition at Kansas State University, demonstrated to his students that he could lose 27 pounds in just 10 weeks by eating a high-sugar, high-fat, low calorie diet. Professor Haub ate Twinkies, Little Debbie snacks and other sugary fare every three hours, instead of eating meals. To add variety to his dessert regimen, he also chowed-down on Doritos, sugary cereals and Oreos. Despite eating mostly junk food, (plus one protein shake per day), he limited his intake to 1800 calories per day, about 800 calories less than necessary to maintain the body weight of a man his size.
                The only health markers he claimed improvements for were the ones directly tied to body fat, which NO SHIT improved because he LOST WEIGHT because he was in a CALORIE DEFICIT.
                Show me where Haub recommended this diet, where he claimed it was a healthy way to lose weight, where he claimed there would be no adverse effects from his high-sugar diet.
                He NEVER claimed that calories are the only thing that matters for health, only that they are the determinant of WEIGHT LOSS which he PROVED with his diet.

                CICO is bullshit because your body tries to fight you every step of the way due to survival mechanisms, but bmi isn't 80% genetic, it's just bad behaviors and poor self control. You will lose weight if you starve yourself and cause yourself great pains, you just need the willpower to do so and that's where the cico argument becomes more bullshit, because your body will do things like increase hunger hormones that drive you insane or reduce NEAT to burn less calories. Ultimately you lose or gain weight by CICO, but there are many things that factor into it like hormones / mental instability. 100 calories of fat / carbs / protein have much different effects on your body, especially in terms of hunger.

      I lost 40kgs/88lbs in a year. The whole "hunger hormones" is complete and utter bullshit, it works the opposite way.
      The intestines adapt their bacteria to accomodate what you eat. If a shortage occurs, they will crave what they are used to getting FOR ABOUT THREE TO FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE INTESTINES RESET THEIR BACTERIAL COMPOUNDS.
      When losing weight you LITERALLY only have to control yourself for the first one or two weeks, after that the cravings stop and are gone forever. I was offered some fries a couple weeks ago and stopped after three, because I literally didn't like them. Fat me would have inhaled that bag in two seconds.
      Everyday caloric expenditure can be reduced in phases of extreme hunger - but we're only talking about 200-400cals a day. The human body doesn't just magically run on nothing because it wants to.

      the argument against CICO isn't that you aren't able to lose weight on it, it's that you are less likely to adhere to it.

      Do you agree that eating 2 cups of peas is harder than 1 cup of ice cream? Calories are roughly equated here. The peas will help you stay fuller for longer and take up much more volume in your stomach, leading to decreased hunger over time.

      The argument is that you can make yourself more comfortable and be more likely to lose weight by employing strategies based around the type of calories you are eating.

        Honestly after my rolling 72 hour fasts, I can eat a single sour cream & onion Pringles chip a day without giving a shit. The idea of downregulating ghrelin receptors needs to go mainstream.
        Back when I did dab hits without any diet plan, I'd skip meals as my tolerance went up. You just ignore the weed munchies a few times and your ghrelin receptors melt away. Then you're just forcing yourself to eat your pre-workout so you don't die at the gym.
        I used to think the obesity crisis was entirely due to vaccines causing metabolic disorders, but now I realize it's mostly due to stupidity, mainstream news and completely giving up in life and intellectual persuits. Whether vaccines cause that is another story.

          calories are equated. You are more likely to eat after eating 130 calories of ice cream than 130 calories of peas. The quality of the food you eat is directly related to the amount of hunger you feel and thus the motivation to eat more. 130 ice cream calories have a different physiological impact on your body than 130 pea calories. A calorie is not a calorie.

And this is even more pernicious because the people who say things like "fitness is a product of virtue" aren't lying, they're just wrong. They really do believe it. It's not something you can prove or disprove as easily as glancing upwards, like the colour of the sky is.

    Basically in short my point is that there is nothing redeemable about humanity and if I had power over all the ambulatory meat we call a society death camps would look like summer camps. Tips fedora.

    so genetics have changed?

      The genetic argument makes more sense in the context of humans adopting survival strategies when food was scarce to over consume food to make up for periods of no food.

      In this sense, it is genetic and modern times are the only times in the history of human civilization where we have such easy access not only just to food, but to food that is incredibly calorie dense and hyper palatable.

      So the genetic argument is actually more plausible in this context since it doesn't depend on trends we've seen only in the last 100 years or so, it depends on what has happened to our food supply over the last 100 years or so.

    >they do
    >they start spraying aluminum on them and injecting it into their children while demoralizing them
    >they continue eating the goyslop every other hour
    >General Mills, Kelloggs, Keebler, Post start airing commercials "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!"
    >they eat the candy as soon as they can after waking up, breaking their brief 8 hour fast
    Romans were OMAD, they took digestive health seriously and subsequently were immune to hunger due to having downregulated ghrelin
