Hunger Games: Why CICO is a Lie
from Hungry for Love: Lose Weight After Toxic Relationships · host Jillian Scott
For decades we’ve been told that weight loss is “basic math” or “simple science.” We just need to eat less and exercise more. This is the philosophy behind the “Calories In / Calories Out” (CICO) mentality, but the process of weight loss is more than just a simple math equation. We debunked this diet myth YEARS ago, yet it still perpetuates the weight loss and fitness space today, making it difficult to let go of these outdated thoughts and beliefs. Join me on today’s episode as I break down the science and psychology behind this myth and show you why it does not work in practice. What’s in this episode: Why it’s so hard to let go of this diet philosophy. The #1 flaw of this methodology no one talks about. The psychological impact of calorie restriction. The real steps to sustainable weight loss if it’s not about counting calories, macros, or exercising harder.
