Many people who utilize CICO and track calories will eat a steady, daily deficit.
There are multiple TDEE calculators online. From there, I determined my calorie deficit. This includes simply sitting and existing as well as your activity level. To put it simply, your TDEE is a combination of all of the things your body does that burn calories. The first step I took with losing weight was calculating my Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). “I thought, ‘If they can do it, I can do it.'” (Photos: Courtesy of Riley Gordon) The Changes On r/loseit, I read success story after success story about how people were losing weight while eating foods that they loved. I first discovered CICO through reading articles from Physiqonomics and reading the FAQ on the r/loseit subreddit. It wasn’t until I began doing research on weight loss that I stumbled upon the Calories In/Calories Out (CICO) theory via calorie tracking on MyFitnessPal. I was scared to attempt weight loss again, for fear of developing obsessive and unhealthy habits. My turning point occurred when I moved to a new city for work. For a while I thought I was meant to be overweight forever. Once I lost the weight, I reincorporated foods into my diet that had been “forbidden,” and in doing so, I steadily gained back all 80 pounds (and then some).
I never developed an “exit plan” for when I reached my goal weight. I was obsessed with weight loss and quickly developed disordered eating. I drastically cut my carbs as well as my calorie intake. I thought I had to cut all of the food out of my diet that I enjoyed. However, I did not lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way. Five years ago, I lost 80 pounds in eight months.
This current weight-loss journey is actually my second round of weight loss. From that point on, I realized that my relationship with food was not a normal relationship, and I struggled with trying and failing to lose weight throughout my preteen years and into adulthood. I wasn’t exceptionally overweight, but I remember feeling huge compared to my thinner classmates. My weight became an issue starting in fifth grade, when I first remember feeling out of place compared to my peers. In 2017, after moving to a new city, she decided to embrace the “new city, new you” attitude. Riley Gordon is 26, 5’3,” and currently weighs 147 pounds.
