I’m saying CICO is a truism. Telling someone losing weight is about CICO is as valuable as telling someone that mountain climbing is about taking more steps up than down.

Imagine someone sharing their experience with some new climbing gear, and someone else chiming in “All this gear talk is irrelevant, just make sure you take more steps up than down”. What value does such a comment bring?

The OP was sharing with us his experience with fasting. The response was pretty much “your fasting was not relevant. Just the fact that you burned more calories than you consumed.”
