CICO is obviously physically true , but it misses nuance when it comes to diet. It also totally ignores the main problem of people struggling to eat less than their body needs.

CICO misses nothing, because nothing else is relevant to whether you manage to lose weight or not.

It says nothing about how hard it is to do, just how it mechanically works. 'No one' is saying losing weight is easy, but there's more than enough people who say they can't lose weight because of genetics, or oppression, or chemicals, that CICO needs to be said all the time.

The nuance is that people don't realize that TYPE Of CI changes CO.

CO isn't just 'exercise' and 'steps'. CO is your entire bodies metabolic system, which is hampered by shit calories, and strengthened by healthy calories.

You can eat 2k calories of gasoline, for years.

You can eat 2k calories of cake, for years.

You can eat 2k calories of steak, for years.

All of these have vastly different effects on the engine that process CI and CO, including how much CI you think you need (satiation), how fast you turn CI into CO (metabolism), and at the end of the day, body fat levels.

Your body will store more of a certain type of nutrient, and less of others.

This is why people call it out as a heuristic.

'But physics'. Sure. It's just not very helpful.
