Weight loss can seem wildly complex.

Some say that carbs are the culprit when it comes to weight gain, and going low-carb is the most effective way to lose weight and keep it off for good.

Others say that weight loss goes beyond carbs\u2014it\u2019s about the quality of your diet.

If you avoid toxins, lectins, phytates, and other nutritional bogeymen that are menacing your metabolism, the pounds fall right off.

And others say that you just need to eat clean. Eat more fresh, whole, minimally processed foods and less junk, and you\u2019ll lose weight like clockwork.

Most trends ebb and flow in cycles\u2014liberals and conservatives in power, booms and busts in the economy, and complexity and simplicity when it comes to popular diets.

It\u2019s not surprising then, that after several decades of fake doctors, fitness gurus, and marketers shilling complex diets like The Plant Paradox diet, the ketogenic diet, the carnivore diet, the military diet, and the like, that many people are yearning for a simpler approach.

It\u2019s not surprising, then, that people are becoming tired of complicated diets, and are becoming more interested in simple ones, like the \u201ccalories in, calories out\u201d diet, aka the CICO diet.

Proponents promise that it\u2019s the simplest, most reliable, and effective way to lose weight, and that once you try it you\u2019ll never try another weight loss diet again.

Critics say that while it can help you lose weight, it does so at the cost of your long-term health.

Who\u2019s right?

The short answer is that the CICO diet isn\u2019t really a diet at all. It simply describes the mechanism by which all diets work and have always worked\u2014eating fewer calories than you burn.

As the old saying goes, though, everything old is new again, and in this article, you\u2019re going to learn why the CICO diet is being exhumed once more.

By the end, you\u2019ll know . . .
