      Using stored fat for fuel. Your BMR doesn’t really decrease until you are starting to die of starvation, and that doesn’t happen until you have bf% too low to sustain hormonal processes. You might get tired and move less, but BMR stays the same. It’s already efficient even in a calorie surplus. Your body doesn’t waste energy just because you are eating a lot. It stores it as evolution designed it to do.

        lowering the basal metabolic rate and to compensate for decreased intake
        this is why if you want to lose weight you have to really undershoot your maintenance by a lot bc if you do only a small deficit your body will just adjust to burning fewer calories
        this is also why DNP works as a fat burner, it keeps the metabolic rate artificially high despite lower intake

        No. Your body doesn't deliberately lower anything. It happens to go down because there's less body mass to keep alive. Even your fat cells themselves require energy to stay live because they're still living cells.

        Burning its stored caloric reserves in the form of muscle and fat. If you don't work out and don't watch your macros while on a deficit, the body is inclined to consume muscles first and then fat.

        >the body is inclined to consume muscles first and then fat.
        No. HGH starts increasing when you begin to fast to preserve muscle. "starving" (aka moderate length periods without food) is natural part of an animals existance. Weakening an animal while its already under evolutionary stress in order to preserve fat (whose sole reason for existence is to provide energy to the body) makes no sense.

          it is literally how dnp works
          it increases the basal energy expenditure of the body (ie the basal metabolic rate) by making mitochondrial metabolism less efficient, ostensibly by making the mitchondrial membrane more permeable for protons (although this explanation is dubious)
          in any case you use more energy, the .5-1 lbs fat loss a day is very real

          no, you moron
          the basal metabolic rate is highest in infancy and declines fairly linearly from birth to death due to environmental factors
          the metabolic rate in giga lards proportional to their size is actually very low and it becomes proportionally higher when they lose the weight and become metabolically healthier
          it is not a simple size-to-rate ratio

          when you fast or go into calories deficit your temperature and pulse go down immediately, even before youve lost significant weight
          temperature and pulse are the best measures of basal metabolic rate and they go down immediately

          when you go into a calorie deficit your body elevates your cortisol chronically
          this is why people have trouble sleeping while in deficit/fast
          this alone suppresses thyroid function and lowers your basal metabolic rate

          burning fat/amino acids is very inefficient compared to burning sugar
          converting fat into ketones and gluconeogenesis are very slow, meanwhile sugar is readily available to be metabolised
          which means that when energy demand spikes the availability of fuel lags behind, so the the basal demand becomes lower to compensate
          lipolysis and amino acid catabolism are also extremely stressful and elevated in diseased cells (such as cancer) where oxphos metabolism is impaired, burning these as primary fuels contributes to inducing this same impaired metabolic state
          having sugar as a main fuel source raises the metabolic rate, fat and protein as fuel sources lower it, this is just empirical fact

      Imagine thinking the body shuts down the moment there is a calorie deficit. It is precisely when you have very little to eat that your body is sharper to hunt or machinate new ways of obtaining food. It is when you are on a surplus that your body shuts down. You become lethargic like all fat people.

      This is literally the most sustainable way to do it. Motherfrickers who are counting their calories might last a few years at it, but the effort and energy will fricking burn you out. I did it for years and it is miserable, especially when you travel or your schedule/routine somehow gets disrupted which life does a LOT. once you develop a sense of how things are made/cooked and how many calories are in things, you CAN eat intuitively. I do that and only count my protein macros, while trying to eat as healthily as possible. It has worked out great. The trick is to weigh yourself weekly to see if you are gaining, maintaining, or losing weight, and adjust your sense of how much to eat accordingly. It does work if you are even minorly smart and it feels way better

        No, heart rate does not correlate with calories burned. Those watches are extremely inaccurate.

        Think about it, who burns the most calories:

        1: A non fit person who runs x meters in 60 minutes and has a very high heart rate while doing so.

        2: A fit person running 2x meters in the same timeframe, and also has the same if not a lower heart rate because he is in better shape.

        Both people weigh the same.

        If you don't immediately understand that option 2 has burned way more calories you might be moronic.

          The calories burned is determined by the energy used. That is determined by distance traveled, the incline, and your weight.

          There is some adjustment for inefficient movement and increased heart rate, which is where this poster may be getting their ideas from. But that’s just noise. The main determinant of calories burned is the work performed. It’s a physics equation.

                Fit people do become a little more efficient at moving their bodies than unfit people, leading to slightly lower active heart rates, but nothing like the difference you suggest where they can run twice as fast with an equal heart rate. The primary change in fit people is that their heart rate returns to normal much more quickly than unfit people.

        Right for the wrong reason, fasting makes the person enter the primary metabolic state, or ketogenesis. Fasting is a keto diet, however "energy balance" folk who eat small amounts of carbs a day and believe it's healthy for them over just starving are absolutely delusional, as their body will enter atrophy instead of ketosis to get its nutrient needs met. Shut the frick up.

    CICO is not a diet, it's a statement of fact.
    Most who have tried a caloric deficit has met the usual plateaus and weakness that come from atrophy for this reason, as dietary fat is the highest calorie macro, yet readily replaced in low-cal food with sugar. This spikes insulin and causes your body to be unable to tap into adipose tissue for energy.

                Im 191 cm. The first 10 kg were probably water weight. I weigh myself every day (still do) and came to the conclusion (using linear regression) that my maintenance is ~2800. 1500 was obviously not healthy and i lost weight too quickly, but hey, still keeping it off several years later.

                Also, my body composition was absolutely terrible after losing weight. I just ate like a moron and didn't care about macros at all as long as I stayed within 1500 calories. Physically weaker than most women and i still had belly fat. Been working several years at fixing that through eating clean (maintenance calories with enough protein and micronutrients) and working out. Slowly getting there.

          >beta oxidation is a process that breaks down fatty acids to produce energy. It happens in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and in the cytosol of prokaryotic cells. It involves four steps: dehydrogenation, hydration, oxidation and thiolysis. It produces acetyl-CoA, FADH2 and NADH, which are used in other metabolic pathways
          >beta oxidation is not directly stopped by insulin, but insulin can affect the availability of fatty acids for beta oxidation. Insulin inhibits lipolysis, which is the process of breaking down fat stored in adipose tissue into free fatty acids that can enter the mitochondria for beta oxidation
          >high insulin does not completely inhibit lipolysis, but it reduces it significantly

            Okay, so lipolysis(which is what matters here) is greatly inhibited by high insulin. What is the rate that can be freed from the adipose compared to a low insulin state? This is important to know before declaring it's worthwhile to ignore the inhibition of lipolysis.

              >Based on web search results, the difference in FFA levels between high insulin and low insulin states in healthy subjects may depend on the dose and duration of insulin exposure. One study reported that after a 4-hour infusion of lipid or saline, followed by a 2-hour euglycemic insulin clamp, plasma FFA levels were reduced by 22%, 30%, and 34% in healthy subjects who received lipid infusion at 30, 60, and 90 ml/h, respectively, compared with those who received saline infusion1 Another study found that after a 1-year lifestyle intervention, plasma FFA levels were reduced by 24% during a euglycemic insulin clamp in viscerally obese men who improved their glucose tolerance, compared with those who did not
              Huh, so squirting subjects full of glucose doesn't even halve fat burning rate. I thought "significantly" meant like 80% reduction.

          not many people know about it but CICO was actually invented by the Japanese in Unit 731 as a way to torture prisoners. The sick fricks made the prisoners count their calories obsessively instead of following a more natural ketogenic diet and yes, a lot of them killed themselves.

            Yes, but keto was actually the creation of Ketogwande Christopher, a Liberian warlord serving under Charles Taylor, who forced his "boys" to eat nothing but human meat as he terrorized the countryside. He died after choking on a human thighbone.

    CICO is correct but most people who adhere by it yet don't see results don't realize that the body adjusts it's energy output to adapt to a low intake environment. It's why exercise is so important, because it's forcing a deficit.

    While CO can fluctuate A LOT due to what you eat, as well as your activity levels, and even things out of your control like genetics and hormones, the fact of the matter is the CI side of CICO is 100% under your control. Calories cannot enter your body without your consent. If you want to lose weight, eat less. If you want to lose more weight, eat even less. You are not magic. Even if it takes full fasting, as in eating zero calories, you will eventually lose the weight.

      No, what you eat becomes undigested poop occasionally. You don't have a say in this matter of what you absorb. Calorie counts are just guesses, estimates, of what you can absorb. It depends on the person. For example, you cannot digest dietary fat to any meaningful degree after you've expended the bile you have, therefore the rest will come out in excretions. There are no calorie tracking tools for this.

      Why do you fricks think everything needs to be insanely precise? I don't even count calories at all, if I want to lose weight I just slash some food from my diet (remove a food here, reduce the portion size there, etc) and I start losing weight. If I stop losing weight I slash a bit more food and then my weight loss resumes. You don't need to know the exact amount of calories you're eating, you just need to make sure that you're in a negative energy balance, which you can know by just tracking your weight, since if you're losing weight, you have a negative energy balance. If you're not losing weight, you're not in a negative energy balance, so you need to cut more food from your diet. Simple as.

      CICO is bunk. Every nutrition documentary has empirically proved it. If you for example eat 200 calories of sugar and nothing else your body will still hold onto fat and you'll die from organ failure due to your body eating away at your own heart before it eats your fat.
      That's because of how the body processes certain nutrients. When you consume sugar and corn syrup for some reason it fricks up how your fat cells function, it doesn't release the fat as energy because it thinks the sugar is enough. If you however eat on a ketogenic diet this doesn't happen and your fat cells release the fat and burn it for energy exactly as you'd expect it to

Eat meat, dairy, fruits, vegetables, eggs, etc, you know, the healthy stuff. It's not complicated, just eat more of that stuff when you're bulking and less of it when you're cutting.

        CICO doesn’t exist without IIFYM stupid Black person homosexual. Why even make this crab argument when you know yourself it’s bullshit.

        Everyone following CICO is also calculating macros.

    You’re right, IIFYM in combination with CICO is really the way to go.
    That way you take your moronic homosexual “durrr 10 cups of sugar is the same as 40 salads” argument and die you fricking crab

    There is no such thing as "cico". It's the starvation diet. What you are doing is forcing a wasting response in your body like a sick animal. This is why the "calories out" portion does not work. If cico was real you could lose obesity by keeping the same caloric intake and just adding more exercise but you can't which is why people "cut" and what they always end up doing is dropping calories to try and edge a wasting action of the body. It's brutally awful, better just to eat healthy.

      Because you cannot consistently burn thousands of calories each day you dumbass. It takes hours and lots of hard work to burn a thousand calories, meanwhile it's entirely possible for you to consume a thousand calories in less than two minutes if you're really intent on doing so. Could you technically cut on 5000 calories a day by doing absurd amounts of cardio? Yes actually, but the fact is that no one is going to do that shit because not only do people have lives but even if they didn't doing that much cardio would be nightmarishly difficult, and moreover you would have to do that every single fricking day. Cutting calories by eating less is much more efficient since it actually saves time since you spend less time eating, and cardio is just the icing on top since doing a little will provide other benefits (health, energy levels, work capacity, etc) that are worth acquiring.

        Incorrect. You cannot, even at a 2500 calorie a day diet, lose fat if you consume garbage. If you're a clown who thinks you're going to walk around eating cinnamon buns to get your daily calories and lose fat you're delusional beyond measure. The only place it is applicable is if someone who is like donna simpson and you have begun committing suicide with food. This being a fitness board, and expecting people here are trying to hone the bodies they are building for themselves, it'a time to ditch the antiquated baby boomer cico meme that tanks your strength and endurance levels and achieves nothing but waifdom. If you are married to calorie restriction I don't care, but lets not make believe it is even remotely efficient or worth your time unless you are a roid troony.

          Holy shit will you ever get it through your thick fricking skull? CICO HAS NO BEARING ON BODY COMPOSITION. ZERO. ZILCH. NOTHING. The only thing it governs is your WEIGHT. NOTHING ELSE. Yes if you eat like shit you will lose mostly muscle mass and very little fat, BUT YOU WILL STILL LOSE WEIGHT. Do you think ANYONE here advocates for people to lose weight eating junk all day? Frick no, we advocate for people to lift, do cardio, and eat whole foods, all of which will preserve your muscle, keep your appetite down, and keep your energy levels high. Fricking moron holy shit, you have no idea how any of this stuff works. You have no business giving advice to anyone, I would rather take diet advice from a meth addict than you.

              because CICO is not a diet you fricking cretin, it's an AXIOM. Do you even know what that means? CICO does not dictate what foods you are supposed to eat like vegan, carnivore, keto, etc, the ONLY thing it says is that if you have a positive energy balance you will gain weight, and if you have a neutral energy balance you will maintain, and if you have a negative energy balance you will lose weight. THAT'S IT. It has NO bearing on body composition whatsoever BECAUSE IT'S NOT A FRICKING DIET. If you gain or lose weight you're using CICO no matter what because that's the only fricking way to do either of those: you need to be in a positive/negative energy balance for either of those things to happen. ALL the other variables are decided by your other choices: the foods you eat, your sleep, your training, etc. Those decide your body composition. CICO governs your WEIGHT, and ONLY your weight. Nothing else.

              Fricking hell, I'm almost certain you're a diet cultist who has mistakenly identified CICO as an enemy camp of diet cultists when CICO is literally a fricking axiom, not a diet. Go back to the rotting hole of whatever camp of diet cultists you belong to and never come out ever again.

      you can literally do this Black person it’s just near impossible to burn that many calories using cardio if you’re eating like a ham beast
      >brutally awful, better to just eat healthy
      yes eating 300 calories less a day is “brutally awful”. What a moron. If you’re eating healthy now and not losing weight you need to drop calories. Obviously eating healthy should be the first priority but people who are at 14% BF are already eating healthy and will not drop to 10% continuing to do so.

        He probably is, I mean with enough twisting of words you can strawman anyone into sounding moronic. Like in the same vein I could say that "durr hurr bulking doesn't put on muscle because increasing calories is fattening!", it's the exact same shit that he's saying, just with cutting changed to bulking and wasting to fattening

      The average fatty consumes over 10K calories a day. A 1 mile walk burns roughly 100 calories. One thing CICO people will ALWAYS tell you is that you can not outwork a bad diet. This is 100% true. The problem isn't that you should be able to add more exercise to counteract your bad diet, is the fact that there literally isn't enough time in the day to counteract it.

    Are we all going to ignore the fact that fasting proves cico without a shadow of a doubt? It's literally cico in action, no calories in, tdee calories out, you will lose fat and muscle tissue 100% of the time.

    Fat burners don't disprove CICO they add to the calories out.
    Metabolism, muscles, stimulants, and other things contribute to how many calories you burn. That's still CICO.

    I'm not sure if anti-CICO Black folk are assuming that people expect good results from CICO even if they are just eating potato chips at a calorie deficit. It's common sense that a good diet and exercise is also needed for a nice body composition

    this pretentious frickwit again. stop promoting literal morons.
    lean people dont make a science out of eating. they just eat.
    anything that requires a conscious decision is unhealthy by default. if you need to force yourself to only eat X or only eat Y amount of Z then its a scam.
    healthy peoples bodies instinctively know what to eat and how much of it.

      You heard it here first, folks.
      Exercise? Unhealthy unless it comes from an epileptic siezure.
      Not eating goyslop? Terrible idea.
      Showering? Horrible.
      Doing Nofap? Horrendously unhealthy.
