Low carb vs CICO is a fabricated binary and a made up fight. The shallow advice of “eat less and move more” is not used by any clinician trained or knowledgeable in the care of patients living with weight. Hopefully this “advice” will die a quick death in health care.
CICO is also a law of physics that can’t be broken; however, it does not mean that scientists think solving obesity is easy as just lowering calorie intake or increasing exercise. Instead it allows them to understand the complexity of obesity.
It is through research that the complex disease of obesity is better understood and we all gain insight. Research has made it painfully clear why the stigma needs to end and where knowledge leads to compassion and helpful interventions.
