I have yet to see one person on this site advocate eating nothing but candy, chips and soda. But people like Hyman and Oz are selling snake oil, nothing more, and there's absolutely no reason why you can't have some candy, chips or soda in moderation and still lose weight and be healthy.
CICO isn't a fad diet, it's grounded in science and math which makes it fact, not opinion or faith, and is the only method that is guaranteed to work. And it's free. And you don't need a guest spot on Dr. Oz to hawk it.

Discredited.
And that's enough for me to add him to my 'wouldn't touch with a ten-foot bargepole' list.0 -
GROAN. CICO is KING. You can eat 30 apples a day and gain weight even though they are healthy. You can eat 1000 calories of ice cream every day and lose weight even thought it's not a healthy choice. Nutrition is another issue entirely but CICO is undisputed.cwolfman13 wrote: »Calories In and Calories Out is by far the most important element to weight loss and weight management in general...nutrition is another matter entirely....

Seriously? I wouldn't say a single word against CICO on MFP because it's what works.
And, weirdly enough, it's possible to understand that weight loss is a function of CICO, implement that strategy, and *also* meet one's nutritional needs.0 -

I'm not sure what eating a high quality diet has to do with CICO?
I've yet to see someone on here saying that long term eating for health and function is best done on a low quality diet. CICO is an equation for weight loss - it doesn't, by itself, address satiety, long-term adherence or mental/physical condition. Working on those doesn't negate CICO.0 -
No joke! But it proves that if you eat in a deficit you will lose weight. Healthy food or not.robs_ready wrote: »http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/

So, did the OP bail? That's too bad. So much potential to learn how to do things more easily.0

So he's saying what everyone on here knows already, just because you CAN fit foods into your calorie allowance, doesn't mean it's healthy.
He says foods like Broccoli digest slowly and the total calorie intake is less than processed food, which everybody here already knows.

In my experience, CICO was the best place for me to start. I had a lot of bad habits to break and the thought of completely overhauling my lifestyle all at once was too daunting. A few months of eating the foods I wanted, just less of them, and seeing results gave me the encouragement I needed to then pursue healthier eating and make more healthy choices. CICO was the foundation I needed to get me to a place where I could start slowly overhauling my life.

If we weren't counting calories, if we were just using our satiety cues as the basis of our diet, things like filling up with fibre filled vegetables and fruits, getting adequate protein and healthy fats, and reducing or even eliminating "junk food" would be MUCH more important. As it is, we have the luxury of knowing how many calories we have consumed, and when to stop eating, regardless of how full we feel or what cravings we are experiencing. Calorie counting makes satiety cues irrelevant.
Separate from this, if you are taking the time to count calories, and especially with the nutrition information we get as part of the process, why anyone wouldn't also try to improve the quality of the food they consume is beyond me.0 -

CICO is simply a tool to help keep your caloric intake where you want it to be. In and of itself, it doesn't tell you how. That part is up to you.
Most people know 250 calories of nuts (or any other wholesome food) is better than 250 calorie donut. But sometimes I want to eat that donut and CICO is a nice tool that allows me to do that while staying within my caloric range.

Without reading this, I've been saying this for years because your body has hormonal responses to food and there are no studies on this. Anytime I say anything I always get yelled at by the IIFYM crowd here, I hardly ever post anymore... because you know, I know nothing and IIFYM = life. Hopefully there is some decent info here!0 -

It's on his shop page with the diet books and detoxes.
