Yea something is def making me more hungry. Could be the excess protein, which is even higher on this due to the bison than my pure rice diet. Or carbs/insulin. Or sugar? But I got hungrier even without eating sugar.

If someone didn’t know the full context of what you have been doing over months/ years they might think that you don’t need an experiment to find that if you eat more - like 5500 calories a day - you gain fat.

Of course, that's why I think CICO is so silly. It's an accounting tautology.

The real question is, of course: why did I spontaneously start eating 5,500kcal/day instead of 3,300kcal?!

I take your point. Still if it was obvious that what I was doing was causing me to gain like 20lbs of fat I don't think I could let myself continue to eat so much. I'd cope with the hunger.

For one, that sounds like you've never experienced this phenomenon. There is no choice.

Second, in this particular case I don't have crazy hyperphagia like on the SAD or high protein, but I'm hoping it's worth the trade off. Deplete my LA faster, gain 20lbs. Then hopefully lose the 20lbs again with ex150 lol.

20lbs isn't much for me, I used to fluctuate 20-30lbs doing nothing on the SAD and Standard American Keto.

True I don't think I've never experienced this phenomenon of uncontrollable hunger. It will be interesting to see what this has done to your LA - are you planning an Omega Quant (?) test. I hope it has been worth it.

Of course! OmegaQuant is my middle name :) I hope so too.
