#it takes dedication and some amount of intelligence to CICO successfully and long term

[enbygunderson]

2000-2500 is too high for most modern people with desk jobs. And yes, there IS evidence to support CICO. People who have ever tracked completely and honestly for any length of time can tell you that it fucking works. You may need to adjust your fire a bit from the general starting numbers, but if you actually ever tried you would see the cause-effect for yourself. Y'all honestly sound like flat earthers when you start talking about this stuff lol. You don't return to a "set weight" because you're programmed that way or something, you return to a "set weight" because you eventually go back to eating the way that got you fat in the first place.

The mental gymnastics y'all do to deny any accountability for this shit is honestly mind-blowing to me; y'all try to argue that you're so confident in yourselves/your body, but you'd rather try to make some stupid strawman about sawdust having calories than just admit that you like food? JFC. I'm currently obese and it's 110% because of how much I eat.

Just found out that the dietary calorie is still measured by burning food in a "bomb calorimeter" and then measuring the heat produced. There's no solid evidence that this method is at all equivalent to how our bodies process food (an entirely different chemical process from combustion), the accuracy of this system has been disputed for as long as it's existed, and there are no available alternatives

There are 4800 calories in a kilogram of dry sawdust even though wood is completely indigestible to humans, because calories don't measure nutritional value, just how well something burns

Nutritional "science" is pure bullshit
