low carbing and medically-induced weight gain

Wrong. You can gain weight (water and/or fat) for any number of medical
reasons that don't have to do with overeating.

You can gain water, but you can't gain fat.

Go on high dose corticosteroids for six months, don't change anything
else, and see what happens. Trust me, you will gain fat.

You two gentlemen are talking past each other here. :-) JC said you
can't gain fat if you don't overeat. The definition of "overeating"
is the crux of the matter. If you need to take Prednisone or have
some other situation come along that lowers your overall metabolic
rate the same amount of food intake as before will cause weight gain.
The new circumstances call for lower food intake, and therefore one
would be overeating - eating more food than required for maintenance
of bodyweight under the new circumstances - if one gained fat. The
result defines the terminology used to quantify the intake as
excessive. See?

Take care,
Carmen

If you gain fat, you're overeating.

I don't expect you to understand.

He who controls the definitions, controls the argument ;-)
