TO has not been back yet. I think I smell a troll.

nope just busy with life, and when I came back and saw the amount of posts that were ignorant like this one I decided it wasn't worth the effort replying to them. I've read the ones where people had actual thoughts and not just trying to be snarky.

So were you planning on responding and engaging with some of the people who asked clarifying questions?

It was mainly just put up to be a conversation starter, and a lot of people took it as me personally attacking their way of life. Decided it was best to just step away from it and move on rather than arguing with anyone over something that doesn't really matter to me enough to argue about it. Everyone should do what works for them, period. This is the last reply I'll make here so the post can die.

Quick note, I just joined the site right before making the post, so there is no food log to link like someone asked.
To those who weren't snarky, thanks for replying, your messages were read. Sorry my post had to anger so many people. /shrug

So you actually have no data to back up your claims that you were eating a junk food heavy diet in a calorie deficit, then switched to a more whole foods diet at a higher calorie level but with lower carbs and started losing weight.

Gotcha.

FYI - that's not people being upset that you are personally attacking their way of life. It's people who value science and reproducible evidence asking for posters to support their claims.

I mean, I'm not up on internet lingo, but isn't that kind of what the "snarky" reply accused you of? "Please put time and effort into politely replying, then I will ignore all replies because I don't really care and just wanted to see you all dance for me." I don't know, but I'm kind of sorry I wasted time and thought posting my initial reply now. Oh well, maybe a lurker who missed the first 3,000 posts about calories being calories and eating whatever you want wandered across this thread and learned something <shrug>

I got fat eating healthy. Very healthy, actually. Still got fat.

That happened because my activity level dropped (rather significantly) but my eating habits didn't.

CICO.

I eat less healthy now than I did then. I'm losing weight. But it's because I'm eating fewer calories than I'm burning.

CICO.

It can suck, it's not always easy, and a LOT of things can affect that whole "CO" side of things, but if, for your body there is more CI than there are CO, you'll put on weight and vice versa.
