True, but I'd still consider that to be lying to themselves, rather than lying to us. If the story is true, the likely reality is they're not counting their calories so they don't realize they ended up eating fewer calories than they were before. They just think they're eating more because they didn't realize how many they were consuming before. I don't make the accusation of lying lightly. We're dealing with a new account making wild claims that break the laws of physics and could have serious impact on someone's health, claims made in the face of all available science. Whether they believe it to be true or not, it's a lie.
