No fucking joke. Calorie counting works so easily, and it's about as straightforward as it gets when it comes to losing weight. I don't understand why some people treat it like doing drugs. Here's the max calories your body needs, so stay below it. Bam, done. You can be more complex about it, but you literally don't need to.
I've seen jabronis say CICO didn't work because calories from soda and calories from celery aren't the same. Maybe, but maybe that means consume less soda. Doesn't even have to be no soda, though it'd be easier to break a sugar addiction if you did.
Calories are a unit of measurement so they wouldn't be different at all, reminds me of a girl in middle school who once asked what calories tasted like.
When people talk about "empty calories" versus "good calories" don't they just mean the ratio of nutrients to calories?
There is some truth in the whole "empty calories" thing imo. Avoiding foods that make your blood sugar spike can help reduce cravings and food intake. At the end of the road it's still CICO.
