If you spend weeks on a diet you could notice that appetite decreases when you stop consuming it.

Sugar is just fast satisfaction that makes you long for more at short notice,it's really a sort of addiction that takes time to beat.

I need about 20% more energy every day due to have a somewhat faster metabolism. It doesn't matter what form those extra 20% come from, but soda was the most readily available. I wasn't overweight or anything before, but now that I stopped, I am. And I can't diet right now since my mother-in-law would force-feed me if I tried.

Also, due to food poisoning, I once had 2 weeks where I barely could eat at all. In those 2 weeks I lost over 20 kg and would have become dangerously underweight if my body didn't kick it out if't system soon enough

You are probably pre-diabetic because of that ubiquitous sugar, like a lot of people on the Western diet.

Over the last year I have cut out most of the sugar and replaced it with animal fat and protein (at least 50% of my calories) and I am never hungry anymore. I go most days with just one big fatty meal and fast for 23hours until the next day. Without all that insulin in your body, you will feel more satiated and be able to lose body fat much easier.

According to my last check-up, nope. I actually had slightly lower levels of insuline than normal, while with pre-diabetes it would have been elevated.

I sometimes also did just one meal a day, especially during summer (too hot to cook anyway), but as noted above, I couldn't do anything like that right now.

I used to drink 1 soda can per day, but then I moved countries and they don't have my soda of choice. Plenty of Cola here, but it is quite expensive anyways.

Anyways I am always mindful of Protein> Sugar, so even if I gain weight it is healthy weight and not just Sugar carbs.

Most of my food intake was protein and fiber, so meat and vegetables. Soda was for a long time my only notable source of sugar or carb outside of some bread. Now I am in the Philippines and they have rice with everything, so tons of carb that I can't really avoid. 

Soda and Bread definitely have a ton of sugar though. 1 can of soda per day caps my sugar intake by a large magnitude, so if you had 2 liters, it is simply an insane amount of sugar.

Carbs aren't bad as long as it isn't too much sugar. Rice has to be decently healthy, otherwise all asians would be fat or unhealthy eh.
