Ignoring metabolism and focusing solely on food calories consumed and exercise calories burned.
While calories are basic physics/chemistry/biology, they say nothing about the health of the individual. Not eating anything for a month to burn through your fat reserves isn’t going to leave you thin and trim.
That is metabolism. CICO will make literally anyone gain or lose weight. Nothing in the universe violates thermodynamics. You maintain a healthy caloric deficit and lose weight. End of story.
Not eating anything for a month is an eating disorder.
The big difference is the effect of a calorie for each person differs. How the body chooses to burn a calorie differs. If person A reduces their diet by 3000 calories in a week they might lose a pound. Person B might not. CICO is literally thermodynamics, you’re very right. How our bodies react to thermodynamics varies quite a bit.
