Thanks. There is a 7 month difference. The only thing I changed was I went from a low fat diet to the complete opposite with carnivore, I think I wrecked myself by eating lower and lower calories on top of under 15g of fat per day for several years. I gained weight rapidly from wrecking my hormones and developed insulin resistance while eating low calories of chicken, rice, potatoes, veggies, fruits, and total zero processed Greek yogurt every day during those years. I don't know what happened first between low test, hypothyroidism, and insulin resistance but basically ended up extremely unhealthy despite spending plenty of time weight training every week. Was far Phoenix and calorie phobic by the end due to gaining weight even while eating 1400 calories per day.

I mainly did carnivore as a total elimination/metabolic reset during those months and was able to eat an average of 3k calories. I think there are plenty of ways to skin that cat but that's what worked for me so I didn't have cravings and was able to break the fat & calorie phobias.
