quantity vs quality

I was talking to a woman who is trying to lose weight. "i eat less and less but it makes me want to eat more" My trick was eating more healthy things. I mix two eggs with 4 handfuls of mixed veggies. Its a massive amount of food. It fills me more than three or four eggs could. I mix vegetables with berries and chocolate protein into a smoothie. I sometimes add oatmeal. People comment how I am always eating. But I am losing weight. This method has worked for me.

But eating less has also worked... but but for me it usually ended with a month long binge session of Chinese fast food, and everything else money can buy. I have changed my way of looking at food. Its fuel and nutrition for my body and organs. Even though eating fried chicken would be delicious and emotionally satisfying, it wouldn't fuel my body correctly.

I want other view points, I know my way is unique to me but I want to learn about other peoples view points on ways of losing weight that are or have worked for them.
