Or alternately you simply started being aware of what you were eating, and consequently consumed less calories.

No, I've experimented with diet for over two decades, this isn't some new realization.

Also, as I mentioned, I'm eating more calories now, not less. Calories are bunk as an idea anyway, so that point is moot.

Calories (a unit of measure) are not bunk as an "idea" but the relationship of food Calories and weight gain/loss are highly complicated.

An appeal to complexity isn't really helpful. The human body is complex but the causes of widespread obesity aren't, IMO.

Specifically for the calorie model?

Eat a plastic shoe. There's more than enough calories in a shoe to keep you going for a day.

This misses the point that the calorie model is bad for weight related things. The point where the calorie model could apply is for an irrelevant amount of calorie restriction
