I have been trying to lose weight for awhile with no success. I have been counting calories and have been eating 1700 calories a day and lost nothing for a year. I decided to try out plant-based about a month ago. I often go over 1700, and range around 2000, and have lost 9 pounds in 1 month? Plant-based really has me questioning CICO if I can eat more calories and lose weight. I mean, it's awesome. But I do not understand it, and feel lied to about CICO if I can eat more calories on plant-based and lose so much weight so quick.

I am also worried about my heart as I get older. I definitely think plant-based is the way.

Edit: To clarify some of the comments 1. I did start exercising during the 1700 deficit 2. I wasn't miss counting as I switched to prepackaged foods that were a bar scan to prevent miscounting during my time of struggle

I'm the host of a tulpa. I am a pretty busy person with work and other stuff. I also get hyperfixated on hobbies. Sometimes I lose sight of him. I always make sure to say goodmorning and goodnight, and hi throughout the day. We also journal together sometimes. I know people will always advise "just talk to them". Neither of us are really talkative people haha. Hence, the hi's and such. Usually i will envision him in my home even if not talking. What does everyone else like to do?
