Well of course CICO is an oversimplification, it's supposed to be. It's meant to be the basis of the diet. Your analogy is about as useful as saying 2-dimensional kinematics doesn't translate to 3-dimensional kinematics because it doesn't have a component for handling the third dimension.
- DougWebb 10y agoExcept it doesn't translate, when you're trying to handle the third dimension. And CICO isn't an effective basis for your diet when there are biological factors with large impacts that CICO simply doesn't address.
- jtuente 10y agoWhat large factors outweigh calorie content? There are plenty of dietary restrictions for things like Crohn's and diabetes, but they're easily worked around without changing overall calorie consumption. Hypothyroidism and other metabolic diseases can't cause weight gain without an overabundance of calories consumed. The fact that someone's BMR lowers because of them is not a bigger factor than how much calories a person consumes.
