Having said that, it's also true that everyone is different.  In a sugar free world, some people were still over weight, because of the combination of their diet, and their body type.  So, I would say that if you really want to lose weight, you need to seriously look at how much you're eating, and also look for hidden sugars that may be causing you to over eat still.  I personally got my appetite control after 3 days, and lost 16 kg in two months, but I think I am an extreme case, and I think it's a mistake to try to get the results other people get.  If you want to post what your typical day's food is, we can comment, but no-one can tell you how your body is processing food, esp if you have medical issues, so it would be wrong for anyone to be judgemental about you having issues losing weight, or to tell you that you will lose weight for sure if you follow what we say.  All you can do is do your best and accept the weight your body decides to adopt.  My BMI is still above what they say is healthy, but I am bony and have had to buy all new clothes, and my wife has begged me to not lose more.  So, what they tell you is ideal, needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
