Total BS. We've known if for forever and the reason "people simply aren't losing" is because they aren't doing a good job of counting. Go ask a fighter, wrestler, runner, or bodybuilder how they manage body weight. They don't do it by tossing a coin into the wishing well, I can tell you that.


Dude I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, I’m asking what is it useful for in a statistically significant manner. I’m not really interested in some outlier professional fighters or whatever have to say about it. What fat person doesn’t know CICO is real? You don’t think they’ve heard it a million times? Yet statistically we’re only getting fatter. Trying the same stuff expecting different results is stupid, and yet we’re telling every fatty out there CICO, millions of them, for decades, with nothing to show at a population level.

This is stupid. Thus I’m questioning what CICO is useful for beyond some academic, theoretical sense. Actual applications. Because the application ain’t applying.
