CICO means Calories In, Calories Out. If the two are equal, your weight will remain constant. If calories in exceeds the calories you burn, then you gain weight. And obviously, if calories coming in is lower than what you burn, you lose weight.

Even with a terrible diet, you can still maintain a healthy weight as long as you don't go overboard on the amount you eat.

I'm not saying exercise plays no role. It does burn calories and it has countless health benefits, so I would highly recommend it, but it's not really the driving factor for weight control. You can't outrun your fork if you're sucking in food like a black hole.

Well I'm certainly much more than simply a healthy weight. I'm in better shape than probably realistically 95% of the world population.
