> what I said was "doesn't work for most humans".

Which is factually incorrect.

What you're trying to say is "it works, it's just very hard for less than half of all people." (43% of all humans were overweight in 2022) [1]

> For many people, it feels impossible, so they give up.

Yes, I agree completely. If they stuck with it, CICO would work, but they don't because it's hard for them.

> Why are you advocating for doing something hard, instead of doing something easy

Now you're derailing the discussion into something entirely else. This thread is about if CICO works or not. I understand there are a lot of emotions wrapped up here, but you know that it works, it's just hard for some people.

At NO point did I say people should do something hard instead of something easy. I was making it clear that CICO does it fact work (and is hard).

Please don't cross into flamewar like this and please don't get into tit-for-tat spats. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

When people start arguing over who said what, who did what to the discussion, and get increasingly personal about it, it was time to stop quite a while ago.
