      Please point to another mechanism by which weight is lost.

      Proper intake of vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients is above the scope of what we’re discussing.

      Proper nutrition absolutely able to be maintained at a caloric level that would facilitate weight loss.

      Stop arguing in bad faith.

        Please point to another mechanism by which weight is lost.

        Type 1 diabetics, without treatment, can consume vast amounts of food (and hence as a result calories) and yet continue to waste away. How do you explain this with CICO?

          Are you really arguing to include a disease in normal weight loss mechanisms?

          What’s next, telling me all about how tapeworms help weight loss?

          The fuck outta here.

            If all you need to do, as you say, is to “burn more and eat less”, then how come people with T1D lose weight while eating more? It’s physics, right?
