Calories in, calories out. You can be fat in any occupation. If people like chubby Rikku, it's not unrealistic just because of her occupation.

Calories in, calories out.

but where does poop fit into this equation

[wannabe_influential]

The calories leave as poop

Unless you're an android!

Actually, when you lose weight, most of it disappears through the process of breathing out. I was shocked to find this out.

[blitzwing]

It goes in Wakka's mouth, obviously.

[(Anonymous)]

This is just wrong. There are occupations where you cannot be fat and do your job. And "calories in, calories out" is SUCH a dangerous method to just spout like it's nothing. It's how you end with teenagers eating 600 calories a day and trying to exercise like it's their job. When that doesn't fucking work and can be deadly.

[(Anonymous)]

?

I mean, I get what you're saying with the first two sentences, but how is it dangerous? If anything, I'd say it's safer than throwing out random "diets" that don't do shit, and, IMO, would be more likely to cause an eating disorder.

[kallanda_lee]

Are you serious? 600 calories is not even enough to have your brain functioning well. You'd need at least 1000-1200 (depends on your build and activity level)

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, I was being serious. I wasn't sure how the anon went from CICO directly to 600 calories, which isn't healthy for anyone, I'm aware.

I mostly see people eating ~600 calories when it's part of a fad diet/eating disorders ("only eat fruit!" "drink these special shakes instead of eating!", "I can only eat a handful of grapes, any more and I've failed" etc.), not when it comes to calorie counting.

[thistlechaser]

Just FYI: I was on a medically supervised diet for a year. It wasn't until the last two months that I went over 600 calories in a day. I spent a couple months at 400/day, then many months at 600/day. In the last two months of the year I went up to 1,000/day. At the end of the year, I was at (and try to stay at) about 1,200 per day.

It wasn't some unique-to-me diet, a number of people do the same for a year (with doctor and nutritionist supervision).

It's not fun in the least, but my brain still worked and I functioned just fine. You get used to it, my energy wasn't even low or anything like that.

[kallanda_lee]

Ma I ask what warranted such a drastic diet?

[(Anonymous)]

Nice trolling, but it works on everyone. Being an idiot and taking the whole thing to an unhealthy extreme has nothing to do with CICO.

[(Anonymous)]

It works on everyone who doesn't have underlying medical issues that keep it from working -- issues they might not even know about.

[ill_omened]

I mean, it works on them too, it's just the damage outweighs the benefit there.

Though lets be honest, you for all intents and purposes effectively don't see these conditions existing outside the west. Not may Koreans, Chinese, or Japanese afflicted. Must be their superior genes right.

[(Anonymous)]

*tips fedora*

[(Anonymous)]

It works on everyone. No matter what your medical issues are, you will lose weight if you decrease your intake.

[(Anonymous)]

Or you just happen to not be fat for various other reasons involving the job. But yeah not to dig at the original post, but I'm not a fan of the phrase "calories in, calories out" either. The people I hear saying that eat very unhealthily and do extreme forms of dieting that are not improving their health in any way shape or form.

[(Anonymous)]

I've seen CICO mentioned a lot on My Fitness Pal, and in my experience, the forums there tend to take a very dim view of anyone spouting off on cleanses, or fad diets like HCG, or really any diets with extreme restrictions. The prevailing mood seems strongly geared towards diet AND exercise.

Doesn't mean there isn't a regular influx of newbies asking about the Master Cleanse, etc., but CICO has been a good benchmark for me to get a handle on my eating and bring it closer to what I actually need vs. the lots of chocolate cake that I want on a daily basis. :)

[(Anonymous)]

CICO is the basic motto of Weight Watchers, AFAIK. I know numerous people who have safely (and healthily) lost considerable amounts of weight on WW and kept it off.

[iceyred]

Lol at you trying to blame people who don't research healthy eating on advice to get healthy. Good job.

[kallanda_lee]

Exercise does burn calories, though. So if you have a job that is very physical, you burn more than at a desk job.

[blitzwing]

Sure. But you can still eat more than you're burning, and get fat. Some people eat 10,000 calories a day. If you're only burning 8000, you're gonna put on weight.

[kallanda_lee]

You really, really have to try to eat 10.000 calories though.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. I've put on weight ever since I moved from a retail job to a desk job because I didn't adjust my eating habits to match. It was fine for me to eat the way I did when I was running around all day every day burning it off, but now that I'm sedentary, I need to adjust my diet and start eating less to match my lowered activity level.
