CICO

CICO is an internet slang term that stands for “Calories In, Calories Out.” It is commonly used in online communities related to dieting, weight loss, and fitness. The term refers to a concept where the focus is on the balance between the calories consumed and the calories burned. It promotes the idea that in order to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, one needs to carefully manage the number of calories they consume and ensure that they are burning more calories than they consume.

Examples:

Example 1:

• Person A: “I’ve been struggling to lose weight, any tips?”
• Person B: “Have you tried CICO? It’s all about tracking your food intake and ensuring you burn more than you consume.”
• Person A: “That sounds like a good approach. I’ll give it a try!”

Example 2:

• Person X: “I went overboard with eating junk food today. Feeling guilty!”
• Person Y: “Don’t worry, just get back on track with CICO – it will help you maintain control and make up for that extra intake.”
• Person X: “Thanks, I needed that reminder. CICO is my go-to strategy!”
