Specifically it shows that, for some people, they have to eat 4x of what they would normally eat in order to gain any weight. That's super weird. The body has a lot of ways to either preserve or burn energy if it thinks it's in a fasting/feasting mode, which will work again people who are using a simple "cals-in cals-out" model.
- allover 8y agoI'm basically not interested in reading things like this unless they can put solid facts up-front that are actually relevant to what most people care about (weight-loss/gain) and they actually normalize for calorie intake. Fact is for the vast majority of people that don't have some rare disease, CICO works.
