CICO... calories in vs. calories out... does it really work?

That's what Paige discusses in today's episode. People on the CICO diet count calories to try and lose or gain weight, but there are many more variables that are important to consider before jumping on the CICO bandwagon. Paige goes through the pros and cons of the CICO diet, gives a crash course about macronutrients, and explains why your metabolism is WAY more complicated than what CICO lovers want you to believe.

Studies Mentioned:

Ultra-Processed Diets Cause Excess Calorie Intake & Weight Gain

'Report card' on diet trends: Low-quality carbs account for 42 percent of a day's calories

Going Nuts for Calories!
