Hey r/loseit,
I wanted to share a recent breakthrough that might help someone else.
I'm a health data scientist, so naturally, I was all about rigid meal planning. It worked, until I went travelling for 6 months. My plans went out the window as i could no longer cook, and I gained 5kg in two months (loved vietnams food abit too much).
Honestly i felt like I was hiking constantly with a 20kg pack so it wouldnt matter. The problem was I couldn't track it. I needed to know the rougth ins and outs of my body a little better.
So I and focused just on CICO. I started making educated guesses on food and got serious about tracking my actual energy expenditure, heavy pack and all. Most of this done in a very long chatgpt prompt for the start.
It was a total game changer. I lost 10kg in the next three months.
For me, the lesson was that a flexible CICO approach that honestly accounts for both sides of the equation works way better for me, especially when travelling, and I could honestly have a lot of guilt free meals, like pizzas and ice creams which would have never been in my meal plans, as i knew I'd earned them.
Anybody else made this switch as well?
