You're not seeing the bigger picture. If we pull our work together, we can all collectively lose significant weight, and all it would take is a few measly kilometers of the earth's crust being thrown off into space - this is what this thread is all about!

Discussing fat loss is really short sighted when ejecting a little bit of mass could help the entire population lose some weight forever.

What's hilarious is that jasonpeacock didn't just avoid reading the article, but it's clear that he also avoided reading the very comment he replied to.

It's like people just want to get outraged over nothing.

And not once, but twice!

Even though it's a lot of fun, it's honestly a bit eye opening to see how little some people engage with the substance of the comments they are replying to...

but I've seen so much garbage about CICO that I took the response seriously..

To be clear I agree with you. I find “CICO” a totally dissatisfying explanation of obesity, not because I don’t think it’s true, but rather because I think it fails to provide any insight that’s actionable from a public health perspective.

Yes, I've been there once or twice myself, no judgment on you personally! The amount of people responding this way was a bit surprising though. I will note that I completely share your feelings about the boring version of CICO.

Go back and read the original response again. It doesn't say anything about calories out.
