I ' m going to take a walkOh , Great ! I ' ll join you ! Uh . No , uh , I wanna take a walk alone . <| sep |> Fine , I get that , but if you choose that approach DON ' T COMPLAIN ABOUT IT . <| sep |> Thanks I can ' t read and couldn ' t read it . <| sep |> 1 It ' s one of two things . Either they actually have an unnaturally high metabolic rate . I ' ve met people who have . Metabolic rate is an average . Or more likely they actually eat less than they say or you think they do . A medium banana is like 90 calories . If she eats 10 bananas a day that ' s 900 calories and a whole lot of bananas . That ' s not a lot of calories . Or you ' ll see people who eat 12 a pizza but you don ' t see that they didn ' t have breakfast or lunch and ate maybe 1200 calories every other day of the week . 2 CICO is hard for 2 reasons . One is that you don ' t get results right away and you might not see scale changes for weeks at a time . So someone does a crash fasting diet and dehydrates and sees the scale jump 10 lbs and things it ' worked ' but if they count calories they get bored , get lax with their counting and see no change or the scale go up over 2 weeks and therefore it ' didn ' t work '. Plus CICO has one really strong rule . Your success or failure is your own responsibility . You gained weight because you ate more than you burned . You ' ll lose it by eating less than you burn .
