I do not build so I cannot be taken seriously. However, I have maintained by 190Lbs (5'10") without a gut just fine like this:

Food is not entertainment.
Boredom is not the time to eat.
Food is for survival.

Hunger is a complex and simple mechanism to understand:
-Low bellies tell the brain when they're low.
--The brain then tells you to eat something. Usually nothing specific.
---Flavor in the mouth will trick the brain into thinking food is on it's way, and the stomach relaxes the signals back to the brain. This is a good use of gum to help you last until you actually need to eat.
-Empty bellies ALERT the brain when they're empty.
--The brain then MOTIVATES you to eat something. Usually something specific, and often with a sense of urgency.
---Flavor in the mouth MIGHT trick the brain into thinking food is on it's way temporarily. This might work, depending on how empty you are + how much activity you're doing.

Sometimes, you can be on empty and not realize it because you're not doing much to burn energy. And then the moment you're active your body starts needing what it doesn't have. This is where you experience panic and hunger, or the sensation of seeing stars or even vertigo. That's how you know you've been at the xbox too long.

When you eat, and then sleep, your body doesn't burn what you've just eaten, so it stores it.
When you eat and feel tired right away, that's because your body is working really hard at processing it. Sometimes it's the result of over eating, or eating something hard to break down like steak.
When you DO NOT EAT - the starvation diet - your body goes on the defensive and stores as much as it can get, and burns up what it already has available. The results are muscle loss and fat gain. You might look thinner but you're going to be a weakling with a poor immune system, the wrong skin color and probably a cough or cold most of the time.

So, for losing weight and managing a stable body I recommend an understanding of your body + eating when you actually need it, not any other time. Obviously you have to consider WHAT you eat. Feeding sugar (processed or not) to an empty belly is not going to produce positive results. Stick to as much non-processed foods as you can, and that includes eating animal products that are free of added hormones and antibiotics.
