@Omega_Variant @BuddyTex @Mustard88 @Rose @Volkish_Observer @feralphilosophernc @matty @Escoffier It's worked for me before too. But I've also increased calories while losing fat from changing up diet. I look at it like physics where there's simple equations that are close enough (v=v0+at) vs more accurate ones. We can ignore those variables and see if it works, and if it doesn't we should look at them. Metabolic syndrome is real.
