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.
