I have kept my weight down for 5-6 years already, and effortlessly I might add.
It's not complicated. To lose fat, you need to eat less than you expend. Normally, that would mean feeling hungry all the time. As you know, feeling hungry all the time is a recipe for failure for the purpose of losing body fat.
So what do we do? We use the properties of macronutrients to out advantage. For most people, protein and fat provides the most satiety, and the satiety lasts for a long time.
For example, compare how much butter you can eat before feeling like you want to stop eating with how much pasta you can eat. You get the idea.
So if you make the focus of your meals to be protein and fat, you can *probably* eat til you're full and still come in at less calories than if you focus your meals on rice/noodles typical of our Asian meals. And that fullness lasts for a much longer time.
Result: you feel full and satisfied for a long time and don't have the desire to snack, which leads to loss of body fat.
