Up until just over a year ago I was eating well and exercising regularly. In response to acquaintances continually preaching about how bad carbs were, and because I thought differently (and looked forward to being a bit lazy), I spent last year doing minimal exercise (pretty much none), and eating whatever I liked (excluding fast food chains). This was a primarily carbohydrate focused diet. I ate pasta several times a week, cereal or its equivalent for breakfast. The only thing I kept my eye on was my fat intake, especially saturated fat. For that whole year, I went from about 80kg to a whopping 80kg, fluctuating up and down a only few kg throughout the year. The only time I noticed that I was putting on weight was after a trip overseas where I was eating significant amounts every two to three hours. Even then I only put on 3kg. Correct portion size is pretty much what I swear by for my unchanging weight.
