Which brings us back to where we started, I.e. the definition of cico when used here. The equation or the diet. I am using it to mean the diet per my search results and also what I’ve seen from the majority of the posters here. I’ll save the topic of whether all calories have the same impact on the body, irrespective of…

And yep, I am nameless , but I am not to change any one else’s views on the topic.

They use it as a means of dieting. So, in fact, engage in a cico diet. Was that a no to the question of your field being thermodynamics?

No, is it yours?

See my previous reply.

Ah. Somebody suggested that google results differed if folks were a scientist vs if they were not. At which point I volunteered that I’m a scientist. Regarding whether the nameless, faceless cico people doubt that fact is addressed in my previous post.

Why bring what up?

I’m ok with that. Degrees and jobs are not the Easter bunny and don’t rely on “belief.” Or more precisely, your belief or lack thereof, has no real world implications. :-) Good one about political scientist, though.

Ah. The microbiome is a hot topic across the board nowadays. Article on bbc today, not jade’s.

I don’t know jade tia, but I do know that I dont count calories, never have, was a varsity lightweight rower in college, continue to compete in athletic events, and many years later, still remain within 5 pounds of my competition weight by focusing on fueling my body with what it needs to perform and remain healthy rather…

Thanks for the advice, but I’ll use the forums that I wish, in the manner of my choosing, ensuring to remain within the guidelines published by ua.

We’ll go ahead and do so. It’s not like I’ll know or notice. It is interesting that you think I should be open to being influenced by you and other people whom i do not know and who are not particularly credentialed in any meaningful way. I just opined on a topic in the controversial section. Nowhere did it say that all…

*You* can emphasize both. I don’t find it necessary to do so, however. And further agree that with proper food choices and emphasis it isn’t necessary.

No, I replied to the op. The rest of the responses aren’t of interest to me. And so that it doesn’t get lost, I agree with the op.

Better idea: just post the resources that support *your* position. But the bottom line is that I agree with the original op that nutrition rather than cico should be the emphasis. That position really is not open to debate or influence, especially from nameless, faceless voices on a message board. The real question here…

Makes sense that my results for the whole flat earth question differed from yours since I’m a scientist. Does it not go without saying that the question of what you would use to prove a point in a debate is still open...? cuz you haven’t actually used anything yet...

It is more substantive than an unsupported serious of comments on a discussion forum. :/ And I googled, “is the earth flat?” The answers overwhelmingly came back as, “no.”

Great article at metaboliceffect.com/metabolic-damage

Actually it is spot on. Cico is a diet plan, or the application of a formula. It doesn’t consider nutrition, only calories. This is different from a nutritional focus, which doesn’t apply a formula nor does it assume nutritional equivalencies between caloric sources. A quick google of cico supports this definition. Have a…

Agree with the emphasis on nutrition rather than calories. Bit cico makes things simple. I think there are also differing audiences—the I just wanna lose weight and still enjoy ice cream crowd vs the my body is a temple/Porsche and I’m going to fuel it accordingly crowd. The cicos would fall into the first category while…

I don’t have a problem with the statements. But a lot of people who wind up dieting don’t know how to eat instinctively so it won’t work absent a tool that helps them learn. She is also correct in that a mostly plant based diet allows for increased volumes with far fewer calories. For example, a plateful of spinach vs a…

13 is not too young to learn how to eat better and also to become more physically active. It is not too early to learn how to make positive life choices. If a person is severely overweight at that age, those problems will likely plague her for life. But probably better to just change her eating habits and get her involved…

Fitbit did this with me, too. It’s wrong by a long shot. Polar and garmin are more reasonable.

The my fitnesspal blog has a great article on this very topic. Personally, I don’t like to work out on a full stomach. If I eat before my morning workout, it is generally a few almonds and a couple of orange slices. Afterwards, I’ll have half a cup of milk within 30 minutes and while preparing my breakfast (oatmeal) and…

How you like me now? I don’t remember who the artist is.

Sous vide egg bites (egg white) or protein box. Nonfat green tea latte.

Undressed popcorn, not out of s bag, box or microwave. Cook from scratch, light on the oil.

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I drink Raw, unsweetened Kombucha. It is still sweet with some, although vet little residual sugar left over from the fermenting process. Also provides probiotic benefits, which aid digestion.

I use 1/4 cup spinach and 1/4 cup kale in with other fruit—stay away from the green smoothie recipe with avocado on the MyFitnessPal pal site, it is the one and only smoothie I couldn’t finish. The thought of it still makes me gag. Wasted half a bottle of Kombucha on that horrid mess. :-(

Fruit and veggie smoothies are the bomb. Whole fruit is fine in the blender, the fiber helps offset the sugar and slows digestion. Add protein (yogurt, kefir, nut milk, powder) to the smoothie so it helps you stay full. Some green veggies-spinach and kale. Many body builders live on them. Go to some of the body building…
