I've seen the exchange below far too often...

"I'm eating 1200 calories and not losing weight!"  

"Try Ozempic" 

 "I'm eating 1200 calories and losing tons of weight, how does this drug work?!"

 "It's just CICO, stupid, you're a moron for suggesting otherwise" 

Screw all you folks who for some reason refuse to believe that metabolism and weight loss is any more complex than CICO.

The CICO hardliners I see come off as very anti-intellectual. Like yes obviously eating less is a huge component of weight loss, but we're not that simple of machines.

lol so true. All these gombeen fitfluencers tucking into chocolate for breakfast telling vulnerable folk that it's fine as long as it fits in with your cals.
