Even if you only have access to garbage food you can still limit your caloric intake. I eat fast food every day I work and I'm a healthy weight. It's not difficult at all.
"It's easy for me, therefore it's easy for anybody."
It's simple math if you can't do that idk what to tell you.
It's not simple math. It's biology, sociology, psychology, medicine, etc.
All you have to do is know how many calories you need in a day (this is easily available online)and keep track of how many you're eating (again nutritional info is easily available online). If you want to get really fancy with it you can look at protein/carbs/fat specifically.
Everything else comes down to self control and making excuses. If you have problems with snacking don't keep snacks in the house or at least serve them in a reasonable portion instead of sitting with the bag and shoveling them down your gullet for an hour before you realize what you've done to yourself. If you only have fast food options buy al a carte items instead of the XXL Big Mac combo with a 1/2 gallon of coke. A bit of self awareness when you are choosing what you consume is all it takes.
CICO is not only reductive to the point of being useless, it's also bad advice for weight loss or maintenance.
Consistent throughout many studies, calorie restriction induces a reduction in energy expenditure that is larger than the loss of metabolic mass, i.e. fat-free mass and fat mass, can explain.
In laymen's terms: the body reduces metabolism in response to weight loss.
You don't seem to understand the topic beyond a few catchphrases, so I'm done interacting with you. Have a good one.
I've practiced CICO most of my adult life. Both when I wanted to gain weight and when I wanted to lose it. It works. The body can only reduce metabolism so much. If you maintain a deficit you will lose weight. When I'm cutting I can plan almost exactly how long it will take to get where I want to be just by tracking calories.
