  I think the controversy around the opinion is twofold. Some people don’t believe that it’s difficult to lose weight because “all you need need to do is eat less” without realizing or understanding how hard it is. With the direct opposite controversial opinion being that some people believe that it’s much more than just CICO because of how hard it is to eat less to lose weight with long periods of little to no weight loss despite a caloric deficit. I heard how easy it was for decades and generally it was from people who have never had a weight issue in their life. Frankly, they are clueless idiots. I also know from my own journey that your body definitely will fuck with you in some extraordinary ways that over the short term can make you suspicious that there is more to it than a calorie deficit. I went for 3 months with a definite calculable calorie deficit and lost nearly nothing. My body just decided to retain some fluid for a time and that threw off the scale. I powered through the frustration with the lack of progress and dropped double digits in a week and then weight loss gradually fell appropriately after whatever biological/metabolic box got ticked.
