Yeah, I knew a fat bitch who was vegan and gained at least 50 pounds in a year. She wasn't a pushy vegan, just like "oh, sorry I can't eat that". But bitch still ballooned up like fuck. And hey, she quit being vegan and started losing weight. Still a fat bitch by all accounts.  Also I would mention   eat half what you usually do and nothing else, then you still can't lose weight...congrats! You defy the laws of physics!  isn't entirely accurate. You underestimate how much fucking shit hams shovel down their throats. 6k calories to 3k could put a ham in maintenance.
