Great. Now I've got this annoying earworm:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z1SFDpLbUs
(The English lyrics go:
Sico Sico looks good
Just like you knew it would
Sico Sico looks good and lasts so long
Morning noon or night
Sico is what you like
Sico Sico looks good...
...And lasts so long!
Sico-Sico! Sico-Sico!)
Sorry I could only find the French version on Youtube.3 -

Dammit, I knew I should've trademarked it first!
It's honestly just the way I always pronounced it, I always think soft "c" before an "i" (like city or exercise) and hard "c" before "o" like cod or cobble.
I would assume my Hispanic friends would say see-co.

Exactly. What's the point of an acronym if you're just going to say the letters? The acronym adds style, flair, and an easy way to say something more complex.
With See Eye See Oh, you may as well just say calories in calories out. @pinuplove

Hypocaloric, while appealing, sounds too sciencey to get people to jump on board. People don't want scientifically proven methods, if they did, they'd be find with understanding that a simple calorie deficit is all that is required. They want something easy, that they think will give them results that are too good to be true...
The Psycho (CICO) Diet. In addition, it causes people to give me a little extra personal space.
I've always used "Sicko" and anticipating a result of increased personal space. Man this was right in front of me the whole time!10 -
Huh. My brain adds an "s" and says "sis-ko".2

I have always said, "Sicko". Which I see @CSARdiver said too!
I like Psycho though.2 -
I've always said Psycho and assumed everyone else did too. Insightful thread.3

That's not the standard pat down position?1 -
It's needs a catchy click-bait headline. Something like.
"These people started following a diet that lets you eat any types of foods you like and you won't believe what happened next??!?!?!"9 -

"These people started following a diet that lets you eat any types of foods you like and you won't believe what happened next??!?!?!" I'm almost too afraid to post after this brilliant zinger, except I want this thread right up the top.
I've never known how to pronounce CICO. We really, really, needed this thread!!

In my heavily northern English accented Canadian it is thought chee-co. I don’t think I’ve ever said it out loud.

That's the headline in a ladies weekly magazine in Denmark every week. The last month I've noticed the "rye bread diet", "the gruel diet", "the keto diet", and "IF" of some form. People apparently always lose between 6 - 22 pounds in 4-14 days.

Tea diet? What tea diet

Many years ago I discovered a little booklet called "The Martini Diet" which guaranteed a 100 % success rate. Obviously it was a "best seller"...for a very short time. Not only was it one of the best diets I ever tried, but it came with the most unbelievable, relaxed life style as well. Wake up at about 11 a.m. and mix yourself a double Martini but garnish with ONE green olive only. Glide in the afternoon and have some more to get you into the mood. After 5 p.m. you increase to triples with 2 green and one black olive. You will be guaranteed a liver cirrhosis within 6 months and a drastic weight loss as well. Upon your death it will be noted that you had a slim body - mainly consisting of the oh so fashionable skin and bones.4
