    So many people just don't grasp the concept of calories in calories out. They tell me that not all calories are equal and that you have to eat healthy to lose weight. I used to argue with these people but lately I just smile and nod. It's worked for me.. I eat basically anything I want and have lost 5 kg. I feel so many more people would be successful at weight loss if they just grasped this simple scientific concept. I'm hoping to reach my ultimate weight and then write a blog list about how I did it and prove all the CICO deniers wrong

    Somehow this no longer seems relevant..........

    Well it depends on the reason for their denial. My stepmother was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a long time ago and ate more than a grown man yet continued rapidly losing weight (until she got put on meds). I don't blame her for being confused and skeptical back then. And then there's my case (rare digestive condition) in which I rapidly gained weight despite eating in a deficit. But the weight didnt show. In fact, I was slowly shrinking. Turns out, I had a 18-20 pound blockage in my intestines that had to be medically removed. I lost the weight in 2 days.
