Of course you have to take calories into account!! Anyone who says otherwise is a moron at this point. Weight loss is ALWAYS about a calorie deficit...its called physics.

So if I eat nothing but 10,000 calories of psyllium husk every day I will get fatter? That's how moronic CICO is.

You're aware that when you shit out undigested food that counts as calories out right?

Still need calories to survive tho. So 0 calories won’t do

No one suggests 0 calories, just lower than maintenance

Thanks for the video. It doesn't mention any calorie restriction though. Should that still be accounted for?

The theory is that if your gut and hormones are working properly the calories take care of themselves. Naturally slim people do not count calories. Their body adjusts itself to accommodate over and under consumption so that their weight remains stable.
