> CICO works for young people with a normal metabolism. I assume by "young" you mean age 60 or under. > The study, of 6,400 people, from eight days old up to age 95, in 29 countries, suggests the metabolism remains "rock solid" throughout mid-life. > It peaks at the age of one, is stable from 20 to 60 and then inexorably declines. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58186710 https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58186710 Unless you have an actual medical condition, no, there's not an excuse for being fat before 60, you just eat too much.

Eat less and you'd lose weight like any other normal person (without a medical condition)
