    Oh boy. I had this huge debate on FB yesterday arguing with people who said cico doesn't work. I directed them to the mfp forums. I hope I didn't drag a whole lotta trouble over here.... :open_mouth:

    I gave up trying to explain CICO to people....So now I'm all "yeah - enjoy your boring chicken and brown rice while I eat this pizza..."

    Those are the two options?

    There is actually only one option....CICO :)
    and CICO people never eat brown rice and chicken? B)

    Sure they do...but people I know seem to think that brown rice, chicken and steamed veggies have to be their dinner every night when they're on a diet. I've tried to explain - 'calories in /calories out', and to figure out their TDEE blah blah but they don't want to hear it.

    Proper food, in moderation, watch your nutrition and exorcise. DIETS don't work, Life Changes, do!

    Getting exorcised won't make you lose weight :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Unless the demon inside me is making me eat :open_mouth:

    I never post on these forums.
    Also, I am the biggest TL;DRer going around.
    However today OP sucked me in by going full retard.

    OP, wake up. Weight loss is a simple science.
    CALORIES IN vs CALORIES OUT plus WILL POWER.

    You lack the last one.

    Why is it that these drive-by word explosions don't have follow up?

    I can see our young and righteous twenty year old thinking "hah, hah, I told them!"

    Such hubris and absence of openness to criticism is an example of an unexamined life.
    Poor Socrates.

    Wow..... the amount of flaming and general rudeness in the replies is astounding. Agree or disagree the OP, whatever happened to respectful discussion?!

    Welcome to the internet.

    Well, if other people do it, then by all means, carry on. ::eyeroll::

    I think where the OP is at is pretty normal for 20 year olds.

    Don't you remember when you were young and knew everything? :D

    Mocking someone who calls you mean gets you more Meanness Points, which can be traded in for great prizes like faulty food scales and sweaty benches. I'm pretty excited to see what my score will be for mocking you calling out people who mocked the person who called us out. Have you checked your Pearl Clutching Points?

    No one here has been mean...

    I don't understand why people take things so personally. It's the internet.
