I visited Paris for three weeks, and ate like a pig. Three course dinners every night, big lunches and a big breakfast. But I had to walk EVERYWHERE so was actively moving 14 hours a day. I had lost 3 lbs when I returned home.

I think it is like that in most parts of Europe. Living in Holland I am always walking places or even biking because it is way easier then going by car or bus. When I was younger I would eat and eat and never gain because I was always up and moving. (Other factors played in the weight gain role...the pill mostly, then a hormone imbalance after which I still medicate, with herbal medications and vitamins)
I drink my water and walk almost every day. Sometimes up to 6-10 kilometers and for someone with short legs like me, trying to keep up with people twice my height it is usually a brisk walk.
I still believe it helps with metabolism, and of course muscle gain.
