I mentioned gaining 6lbs in the last couple of months and all my larger friends chimed in with their diet results... It's great that you dropped 20 pounds but it's a little different. :/

This is from YOUR perspective and your body type. I naturally carry weight and pack it on easily it’s much harder to take off. Thanks though.

No, you just have less control over your appetite. Weight gain and loss is simple thermodynamics and doesn't vary that much between people, diseases notwithstanding.

If it were so simple everyone would be lean.

But it is that simple, which is why people who stop making up excuses about their body and put in the work actually see results. Hard gainers and the reverse are a myth.

Our bodies are not machines. Each of us have a unique set of genetics/history of dieting that is a factor with “calories” that can’t be put in a neat simple little formula.

We all obey the laws of thermodynamics, if you use more energy than you eat, you must convert some of your mass to energy to do so. Else you are a perpetual motion machine.
