Aren’t you arguing against your point? You cut down the amount of calories in and you increased calorie expenditure. You probably also gained lean muscle mass that helped to increase your basal metabolic rate.

This goes more to show what everyone knows based on accepted science.

No, because I think I presented my observation poorly.

I think 100% of the weight loss is from use of calories, and limiting the intake of calories.

What I meant to state more clearly is that I think the waste or _something_ related to the removal of the fat (after being used) happens during sleep.

I'd put it at 90%, because keeping BMR higher helps. It's very hard to run even close to half of the BMR extra for most obese people as that's very strenuous, many hours of exercise.
