But by god, I truly am struggling to switch the other way around, and it takes me months to adjust to the bulking cycle, even with the help of stuff like weed

You could just have good genetics in which your body is resistant to weight gain or you have a low appetite to begin with. As shown by the worldwide obesity epidemic, this is apparently quite an uncommon problem. 75% of country overweight or obese.

> good genetics

This moral judgement whereby losing weight is "good" in absolute, is such bullshit. For most of history, humans have fought starvation literally every day, and often had to make do with minimal caloric intake for weeks or months - in that context, genetics that kept you thin were definitely very bad.

Having a smaller appetite could have been advantageous by allowing food to last longer

If normal resistance to weight gain or appetite lead to 35+ BMI then we would not have had the obesity epidemic, it would be just normal state for humans to be 200+ lbs weight just like it's normal to be under 7' height.
