Nope! Last time was in January. We had to come back down because it was too icy. Went back today to get to the top. And we did. Hurrah!

Well this was just two days! Last week I had a bowl of quinoa with veg for lunch and another day brown rice pasta ... Oooooh and a butternut squash curry with brown rice for dinner one night ... So I am getting some grains (what with these and my porridge) I just don't eat them with fat.
-
Oh sorry. You mean other people who have reviewed this particular diet. I haven't looked for these (sorry I misunderstood reviewed studies for the actual book ... Thicko) I'll have to see if there are any! At this point I can only give my experience (but there are loads of people on her forum (much like this one ) who have…

Lol! I don't weigh anymore ! Urm, porridge about 100g, pork chop tesco finest - guess about 200g, duck breast maybe 250 (it was big from the butchers) Greek yoghurt half a 500g tub, bacon no idea - just 4 strips of streaky bacon from the butchers, butter large knob, 10g maybe ? Cauliflower half a whole one (medium sized)…

Oh you have googled for bad stuff - random blogs. You can find whatever you want to find. I could post loads of links as to why calorie controlled diets don't work! Come on.
-
Not sure how I can prove it? I could put anything into MFP couldn't I? It wouldn't be proof. So today as an example I burned around 1,600 calories which is prob average (I have a FITBIT) I ate Breakfast 4 pieces of streaky bacon 3 eggs cooked in butter A tomato Lunch A pack of antipasto meats Chicken and veg soup Dinner…

Well I kinda did but a) I got told off for advertising and being obsessive and b) nobody seems willing to at least read it instead choosing to completely dismiss it as even a possibility because it doesn't suit their current beliefs/own obsession.
-
So on your theory I shouldn't blindly follow something and I should question it. Urm. So this is what happened with CICO...
-
On the contrary - I could say exactly the same about you! But I won't. I respect your views. I had the same ones. Hard to accept there is another way. Another theory. And more and better, newer science. Remember when eggs were bad for you..or fat was the killer and now it's sugar or smoking was 'good for your lungs'.. ..…
-
And? I have a desk job.
-
And yes I was proof too and I totally thought the same as you and ate cake while doing CICO.
-
Tended to use this one http://thefastdiet.co.uk/how-many-calories-on-a-non-fast-day/ (not for the diet I might add!)
-
Okay. I disagree. A 100 calories of apple is not the same as 100 calories of cake. The body will use the nutrients - or the bits that make them an apple or make them a cake - in different ways.
-
Yes you do have a problem. You can't read. I DID NOT EAT 800 calories. I am 5ft1, was 9stone3, age 36, my BMR was something like 1300. My TDEE maybe 1500 maybe a bit more. NOT ENOUGH for me. I can not sustain this. I did eat 1000 calories for a while because this was the most I could eat and still lose a tiny - ounces - of…
-
I think we probably all have an eating disorder of some kind or else none of us would even be having this convo. But everyone is an expert here ...
-
The body uses 100 calories worth of carb very differently to 100 calories worth of fat. Not all calories are equal.
-
Wrong. No deficit. Most days over what I burn.
-
-
Oh grow up. Can't we share different views? Is there a rule on here that you can only discuss CICO positively and never mention any other possible way. You're the obsessed and fanatical ones! Lol.
-
Nope. Didn't suggest that. But energy is used in different ways. At least you recognise calories are just a unit of measurement which is energy.
-
Defy science ... Lol... I wish you would read the book to understand why the 'totally accepted' science is so flawed. I don't need to convince myself - I have lost weight in a calorie surplus. I'm not lying! Lol. You will never believe this while you believe all calories are equal. That's okay. I understand. I was the same…
-
Nah. Just understanding food and calories as a unit of measurement properly. While an inch is an inch, a calorie isn't always a calorie once it is in the body. No magic, no unicorns. Basics.
-
WRONG. Because you believe all calories are equal. I was you too. I thought so too. I am living proof this is an invalid theory. There is a way around it. Happy I have found it.
-
Lol. Well I am an advocate - as I was for CICO when I started and for a good year.... I was just trying to give some proper information. If I am a fanatic what does that make all the CICO'ers who are just as one minded (as I was!). All I'm saying is there are other options and people can still use MFP. Which is what this…
-
Tried that. Didn't work. I didn't just give up at the first hurdle. I was 6 months stuck. My maintenance calories were only something like 1300-1400. No thanks - not doing that forever!

Product Description Let me guess... You've tried every diet under the sun; You've lost weight and put it all back on; The more you diet, the more you crave food; You have almost given up hope of being and staying slim. Do you want some good news? It's not your fault. You are not greedy or weak-willed. You've just been…
-
What is this point meant to make? I LOST WEIGHT ON CICO. If I had lost 3 x what I did lose on CICO I would be less about 6 stone. Lol. It makes no sense (on your theory) that I had a refeed and am now losing weight again..... because this time I am not counting calories and eating over double what I was on CICO and am over…
-
Yes. Yes I can. Because not all calories are equal but 90% of you will never believe this because I didn't! I can't stress how devoted I was to this. I mocked people who thought otherwise. A bit like you all are now! Ha ha. Oh well. I've said my bit. We all make our choices. Just saying there *is* another way.
