I have gained and lost weight three times.

Each time that I lost weight it was due to vigorous exercise while doing sports for fun.

Each time I gain weight it is due to insufficient exercise and eating wrong stuff.

What works for me is keeping starchy foods scarce in my diet. As long as my diet subsists of fat, protein and vegetables I am fine. If I start consuming flour, rice, potatoes, sweets and alcohol I gain weight.

I have only recently realized how eating a meal rich in protein and fats keeps me fed for as long as eight hours. If I eat some sweets or a piece of bread I will feel famished in two and a half hours. Whats even worse I will crave more of simple carbs.

Losing weight on protein and fats is easy and effortless. Eating a "balanced" diet in small portions feels like torture to me.

As an added bonus it is really hard to consume a large ammount of protein and fat.
