I wonder if there are people who realize that some individuals that used to follow purely CICO to lose weight, and it DIDN'T WORK FOR THEM!? Even with only eating perceived "healthy foods" people rave on about?

Guess what? That mantra does not and WILL NOT work for everyone, even if they are perfectly healthy. I have had no health problems, and I have done the CICO with no restrictions other than whole foods. I gained weight, I felt tired all the time, and worst of all I WAS HUNGRY. I can aay that this is the same for so many other people out there as well. Nothing is one size fits all, and CICO alone is NOT one of those things! If you truly eat the right foods, you will be at a calorie deficit, AND not be hungry. For me, eating grains, high carb fruits, and starchy veggies make me MORE hungry and cause me digestion problems. I have tried, and IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME. Saying that it does and completely shooting down other people who say it doesn't for them because it works for you doesn't make it the right thing for EVERYONE.

This stuff pops up on my feed and I dont ask for it. I follow people who are supportive no matter what diet they're on. I want to look at positive posts, not attacks on my damn WOE.

I actually went back to keto. It felt weird being off of it, and I solved the "bite of food" thing with my boyfriend. I just do it and hope for the best since I'm still pretty fat adapted. I don't count calories, I just weigh my food so I don't go over my carbs. I rarely go over 15g net carbs and 1300 calories. I do it without trying. I'm getting pretty good at eyeballing 28 grams of cheese though!

I agree that it's not necessary to count calories to loose weight. Some people have the ability to judge how much they are eating calorie and nutritional wise. Those people really don't need a web site like this one to help them meet calorie and set nutritional goals. I wonder why they bother to come here. Some people rely on other methods to control their caloric intake but all of us do control our caloric intake. Some people measure and weigh everything they eat and that okay. What I have noticed is that we people who use this web site and it's tools are very aware of what we are putting into our bodies. I think that, is the most important thing. It's not so much about how we do it. It's more about us doing it...
