EATING MORE to LOSE WEIGHT!?! Anyone else had this experience!?!?

Upping calories usually leads to more honest/tighter logging. This as people know the this is going to be more difficult to be in a deficit.
That means that effectively you'd eat less than what you were before your were upping calories. Simple psychology

I'm weirded out by why everyone is struggling understanding this. If you eat a small amount of calories, it lowers your metabolism because your brain compensates. So if you eat a reasonable amount of calories but still at a deficit, you will generally lose weight faster than someone at a severe deficit. Congrats!

that takes year to happen ...

A year, for the lowers metabolism aspect of comment?

How about 3 months at not a huge deficit. Even more at a huge deficit.
How quick though? Well, they didn't measure before 3 months that was reported in the study.

Sorry, I didn't see the reference to damaged metabolism as what was being commented on.
