What you eat is more important than how much you eat.

As an aside, since completely changing my lifestyle 5 years ago I now
find I can eat a lot of carbs such as spuds and carrots without
gaining weight.

I get a lot of exercise, and I've noticed that even though I have a
wheat intolerance I can now indulge in a loaf per week whereas before
it would have made me feel 'blah'... exercise play a big part not just
in losing weight but how your body deals with what you put into it.

I pretty much eat what I and my friends grow or hunt/fish and not much
else. Just simple meat, fish, poultry, dairy, fruit and veggies. Loads
of saturated fats... Very little comes from a packet... coffee beans
being a very important exception! I've noticed that none of these
friends of mine are overweight, funnily enough...
