    Is still your rebuttal to an actual study?

    It's a ****ing blog selling an ebook. Are you really that slow?

    Calories in vs Calories out doesn't take into consideration hormone fluctuations (peri-menopause), water bloating, TOM etc.

    I did two months of strict control, measured and weighed everything -- fitbit tracked activity, etc. I ran a -8000 cal deficit every week. According to that math I should have lost 2lbs/week on average. And after two months? Rather than losing anything, I gained a pound.

    Nothing is just that simple. We are complex creatures. What works for some doesn't work for others.

    I fully agree! CICO does not take into consideration the impact of hormones period. Humans do not fit a mathematical model either.

    I would just like to say, I am very proud of keto lady for participating today, without childishly calling everyone "haters" over and over.

    Although I still never agree with her opinions.

    I can only imagine how much stuff she buys from being too gullible.

    This site was too flashy for me to take seriously.

    Is there another source? There are none right now.

    I believe in CICO. Another think I believe in is hitting your micro nutrient numbers. If you do not health problems in the future or now that you have no symptoms to

    You haven't answered my question yet. If not by consuming less than you burn, how are you planning on losing weight?

    But if you don't eat a particular calorie, it still can't make you fatter.

    Relevant figure from the 1964 metabolic study conducted by Kinsell et al.

    Capture2.jpg

    Alterations in macronutrient ratios made no difference on rate of weight loss over a 3 month period when subject was in a completely controlled environment. This study was done in a hospital under completely controlled conditions, subject only ate what was given to them by the study coordinators...it was not a "survey".

    You asked for a study that supports CICO and I provided one. Are you going to respond to it at all or just ignore it?




    A 1964 study, you can do better then this, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If we dismissed everything created from 1964 or earlier does that mean we should dismiss you?

    A studies age is irrelevant, many of the most heavily cited and trusted studies are from that era becaue these days it is basically impossible for ethical standards to do the kind of controlled studies with human subjects. The Minnesota starvation experiment being another example. Think we could do that to people now with current regulations?

    If you have a more recent study performed for thos duration using human subjects under completely controlled conditions please provide it I would be interested.

    Yes Hormones play a big role.

    I am a failed case of "calorie in and out" method but I do believe with all other factors such as hormones, fluctuation, it still has everything to do with the caloric deficit. Hormones confuse us so we can't get the number correct right away but eventually once we figure that out, it's still the number...That's just how I look at it. Having said that, I agree it's not always easy for everybody to figure it out right away...

    True, but does that really matter? Isn't there room for both -- that total calories matter but so do the type of calories. They don't have to be mutually exclusive.

    Please explain why calorie is not a calorie SO I can explain the real meaning because you are saying it wrong?
