If i don't eat some fat/oils i am constantly hungry and miserable and i don't even lose that much weight.
disclaimer: few weeks ago i have started eating paleo (no grains, no gluten, no dairy) and have lost weight/inches around my waist, after a year of nearly being at the same weight. i eat no artificial/prepackaged foods whatsoever..i have been using coconut oil to cook things, mostly and have gone through a lot of it.
i used to use cooking spray but i don't like it and then realized cooking spray has ingredients (soy lecithin?) that eff up the teflon in nonstick pans. so that is the reason i dont' use it.
