>Weight loss is as simple as calories in/calories out
What if someone's insulin response is so bad that they're the red area on this graph (see: Dr Kraft's insulin assay/test)? Insulin inhibits fat mobilisation, so a fatty who's #4 or even just #3 on this graph will likely be unable to effectively mobilise their fat stores even if you put them on a caloric restriction. And if they can't get their calories from fat, they're going to either drop their TDEE without realising it (lowered physical/brain activity), or pull those calories out of their muscle tissue.

So now you've got someone who's technically losing weight, but it's all coming from muscle. Eventually their body refuses to let go of what little muscle they have left and releases so much ghrelin that they're practically forced to go eat something, ruining their diet.

Stop blindly recommending CICO to fatties, and start recommending that they fill themselves up with meat, eggs, dairy, and veggies. Avoid all carbs at all costs.

Instead of focusing on losing weight, fatties should be focusing on fixing their insulin response. Once that's fixed the weight will go away on its own.

>But anon if insulin was such a big deal Dr Shekelstein would've told me all about it instead of putting me on drugs and giving me insulin injections

Okay retard.
