I know people say calories in vs calories out is all that matters. But there has two be more than that, at least for me, since I eat as much(and sometimes more) then I did before I started fasting, and I am down at least 30 lbs. And no, I havent increased the amount of exercise I get.

you are not counting calories. you can't just say "im eating less." as humans we are virtually incapable of realizing how much we actually are ingesting, especially with liquid calories. I, for example, had literally no idea that i was taking in 700 calories of vodka a day when i drank. I thought it was more like 70 calories.

there was no doubt something like that in your diet that you didn't realize actually had a bazillion calories. or you were eating more often than you realized.

it's literally physics/thermodynamics.

calories in, calories out is like 99% of what's happening with average weigh loss over time. this is irrefutable.
