You followed CICO but ate unhealthily. I don't know what you expected. It should have been beyond obvious you'd need to meet some baseline of nutritional requirements or you'd not be satiated and feel like crap all the time.
The point of CICO is to remind yourself even if you eat healthy, if you eat more calories than you lose, you won't lose weight.

I got my five a day which is the extent of government communication on the topic of nutrition. > The point of CICO is to remind yourself even if you eat healthy, if you eat more calories than you lose, you won't lose weight. And the point i’m making is that if you eat mostly unprocessed food you won’t have to worry about it. It becomes difficult to put on weight because your body moderates your appetite
- fwn 3y agoThat's great if it works for you. While I have never eaten a lot of convenience and/or overly processed foods (the category is a bit vague), I often overeat despite cooking from scratch. I think it gets worse as I get better at cooking. I overate on a fantastic goose I made last weekend, for example. My takeaway from our parents' post was that while CICO is sufficient for weight loss, it alone is not sufficient for well-being.
