I don't think you're contradicting the article. You're simply "naturally" eating a low enough amount of calories to keep the same weight, relative to how many calories you expend in exercise/regular life. At the end of the day, if you were eating more than maintenance calories for your metabolism, over time, you'd be gaining weight.
