    Just because you have difficulty implementing CICO, everyone else should.....got it.

    Who says I have difficulty implementing CICO?
    You haven't addressed your statement " CICO is not sustainable in the long term."
    Does it break down approaching the event horizon of a black hole or something?

    LOL so you are saying you can eat in a calorie surplus and lose weight? Do you believe in Unicorns too?

    Please find me the one person in the world that can eat in a calorie surplus and lose weight? I guess you don't believe in math and science either..?

    My profile picture is real and is not stolen, I will tell you that much. If you reverse image it it will not say that I am a CEO of a software company ...

    So you think it is OK to get advice from someone that has technically stolen someone else's identity? really, is that where you are going?

    lol all you want. I did not say you can eat in calorie surplus and lose weight.

    As for the fake profile - couldn't care less.

    What the actual *kitten*!! You just said above CICO is not sustainable . . . now you're saying no one can eat at a surplus and lose?

    I'd really like to get to one clear answer: how do YOU believe people lose weight, long term, and maintain it?

    CICO is math and science . . . I'm really confused but I am certain you don't know much about weight loss at all.

    Just putting this out there...If you do a low carb lifestyle, eventually you will run out of this "water weight" You cannot lose 85 pounds of "just" water weight in 6 months. How do I know???? Because I am living freaking proof! UGH. So tired of all these so called experts here....OP if LOw carb helps keep you balanced, do it and when you eat your carbs eat the good ones found in fres veggies and quality grains... Best of luck! :)

    If you guys have it all worked out then write a book - you will make a fortune.

    I did not say "no one can eat at a surplus and lose"

    and there is no clear answer to "how do I believe people lose weight, long term, and maintain it" - if I knew I would write a book - and make a fortune.

    Nah CICO won't sell books or dvd's or anything else....too many free sites like MFP.
    Plus telling someone they have to be accountable for their own Dietary intake isn't what most people want to hear.

    Too much work. Do you have a pill or a drink that will speed the process up?

    No they want to hear "it isn't your fault . . . it's <insert condition invented yesterday>'s fault . . . and here's how to beat said condition and still eat your 4,000 + calories/day".

    I'd say let's write that book, but those who follow CICO and wanted to get rich first already wrote it . . . :(

    I certainly have no problems with CICO just choices of nutrition this day in age make it hard for someone who has to watch every morsal that lands in her mouth. but change is happening slowly

    You can still lower calories and create a bigger deficit or exercise more to counter it >:)

    Yes that would work but in reality asking a tired, menopausal woman who has not slept due to hot flushes and is on her feet all day in an active job, to eat less and exercise more, is asking for trouble.

    So basically, women should be treated differently because their female body parts and female hormones render them unable to do things that others can do or behave in a reasonable manner when it is suggested that they do things that other people do.

    Cool! Not only do I get to look forward to one day turning 50, I'll get to live in 1950 as well.

    Or do paleo because - healthy diet.

    Before you get butt hurt - not the only healthy diet, not necessarily the best healthy diet, but maybe a healthy diet that suits that person.
