6: Fact or Fiction // Calories In vs. Calories Out

CICO... calories in vs. calories out... does it really work?

That's what Paige discusses in today's episode. People on the CICO diet count calories to try and lose or gain weight, but there are many more variables that are important to consider before jumping on the CICO bandwagon. Paige goes through the pros and cons of the CICO diet, gives a crash course about macronutrients, and explains why your metabolism is WAY more complicated than what CICO lovers want you to believe.
