I gained 8lbs on a Christmas cruise!! I weighed myself on the Wii Fit before and after. I woke up every morning on the cruise, went up to the cafeteria, and would fill my plate with eggs, and cereal, and fruit, and biscuits and gravy, and a little coffee and juice, and also some sausage and bacon, maybe some corn hash, and a bowl of muesli. Afterwards I found that finding a nice seat somewhere was better than walking around. I didn't really notice I was gaining weight.
Then I came back home, and I just couldn't keep up the pace. I was reading a blog about Proverbs 30:7-9, and I realized that I always eat to get full!! I had never really paid attention to this passage before but I realized that it directly applies to any activity whatsoever that we as humans do in order to get "full".
Two things I asked of You,Do not refuse me before I die: 8 Keep deception and lies far from me,Give me neither poverty nor riches;Feed me with the food that is my portion, 9 That I not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the LORD?”Or that I not be in want and steal,And profane the name of my God.
So I learned that
1) I had some wrong thinking that I was supposed to eat to get full
2) If I just push the plate away before the last couple bites I don't feel like I'm starving
3) We are meant to feel hungry all the time, it keeps us dependent on God and keeps us seeking Him
4) Pastors, and writers, and speakers are used by God to bring to our attention important life changing messages in God's Word

The two weeks after our wedding (including one week of Alaskan cruise), I lost 8 lbs. And in the one month, I lost 15 lbs. Six months later, I weigh about 16-18 lbs less than my wedding-day-weight depending on the time of day.
Just a standard paleolithic diet: eat only what our ancestors >10k years ago ate (put another way: eat nothing that doesn't have a name in Doric Greek or Biblical Hebrew). Or yet another way: only eat something if it was either running around, or a part of a plant a week ago. This basically means: only meat, fruit, and vegetables (no cereals, rice, wheat, processed food, sugar, salt, etc.): http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-wellbeing/health-news/the-stone-age-diet-why-i-eat-like-a-caveman-461514.html
