I know people who probably think I have a massive appetite--because they mostly see me at weekend get togethers or at holidays. And people who mostly see me eat the odd 200 calorie or so packet of cheese curds. Personally, while my weight is pretty stable over time, my intake and expenditure isn't precise day in and day out, it's just that it balances out over time.
Not that I disagree that conscious CICO is untenable. If you don't have the unconscious regulators of activity and food intake on your side, losing weight is like pushing on a heavy spring and just gets harder the more weight you've already lost. |
