I follow a similar way of eating to the Paleo Diet where I restrict carbohydrates in all forms (sugars, breads, pasta, potatoes, some vegetables, some fruit, etc.).
Back in 2008 and 2009, I went from 248 lb. down to 190 lb., but then started allowing myself the occasional carb-rich treat here and there. Doing that too many times, especially over a long Summer vacation this year pushed me back over 200 lb. I'm back to my normal way of eating and was 196.8 lb. this morning. I still have a way to go, but I know I can get there if I stay disciplined.
Like
kacir mentioned, a low-carb diet works well for me without being hungry or counting calories.
