For most people reducing caloric intake drastically works. Best done by cutting carbs. I had gained weight when I came to the US, I (still) like ice cream and some cakes. I could eat all I wanted while in Europe without gaining more than a pound during the holidays.

But keeping the same pastry habit when in the US had more consequences. When Spring came in Chicago, my straight talking coworkers (all males) joked: "you are shedding the sweaters all right, it is too bad your shape is not changing", and it is good they said it because I do not think I was even aware of how big the difference was. The fact is pastry in Europe contain a lot more fat, and not nearly the same amount of sugar as those in the US. Plus I never ate candy bars back there.
