False. How much you eat is only indirectly related to energy partitioning, which decides if that food energy will be burned or stored. Trust me, I've tried more than you and am more obsessed with the topic :)
You probably decreased carbs and PUFAs significantly as part of "eating less."
> Humans are not able to break the laws of thermodynamics. If you consume less than you burn, you will lose weight no matter what.
Ah, the ol' accounting tautology :)
Of course you're right, but of course it has nothing to do with the topic. "Being in an energy deficit" does not necessarily come from "eating less" or "exercising more" and eating less or exercising more do not guarantee a deficit.
Turns out the human body is full of miraculous biochemistry, it's not an oven.
Ah, that explains it. You had a serious moral failing and you corrected it.
You own failings are due to you lying to yourself about how much you eat.
