My experience: I struggled to keep weight off, was losing muscle mass, and was constantly exhausted. Tried a lot of different things but nothing worked.
Long story short, as a byproduct of blood work for a massive spike in PSA (everything ok just an infection) it turns out my body quit producing testosterone. I now take weekly injections, and while I have not lost a lot of weight (fat to muscle), I did have had to buy a belt 5 inches smaller. TLDR, see if you can get a comprehensive blood panel to see if everything is working as it should. |

I've been seeing a lot of this lately. The "stop counting calories and just eat better" theory. While I dropped 90lbs while "counting calories," I can see their point about the inaccuracy of both calories burned estimates and calories contained in foods. For a few years now (since the pandemic started), Wifey and I have been doing way more cooking at home, which means way less ultra-processed foods. And I've even started cutting back further by checking the ingredient lists of simple things like bread. I've pretty much adopted their view that if the ingredient list contains a bunch of chemistry set stuff you don't normally have in your kitchen, then skip it.
