Is the weight loss just from sleeping better and therefore making better food choices?

Underrated question

Personally, when I have not slept well and need to be productive in a day, I’m much more likely to want to load up on sugar and unhealthy food

  • I’m the same way. Getting good sleep is my best predictor of whether I’ll blow a weight loss attempt or skip exercise.

Almost certainly plays a role. Also increased activity levels due to better less fatigue.

Certainly is not defeating thermodynamics, assuming calorie absorption is not disrupted somehow it's likely the above.
