OP is just a retarded shill and twisted the screenshot out of context.

The main dogma preached over at /r/keto is that you can't eat all the bacon you want if you're trying to lose weight. They tell you to count calories because if you overeat on fat and protein you will gain weight. The point of /r/keto is that eating low-carb helps to lose weight and maintain the weight loss. They do not preach that CICO does not work. They preach that it's easier to lose weight with low-carb and no sugar crashes while under a caloric deficit, than it is losing weight on high-carb with sugar crashes and hunger every hour.

/r/keto preaches that eating low carb helps you not feel hungry every 2 hours like you would if you were eating a high-carb diet.

The real context of the image is saying that what you eat drives your hunger signals. And how often you get hungry determines how much you eat (unless you're an anorexic who ignores their hunger pangs, or if you're forcefully restricting food because you're trying to lose weight). If you always feel hungry, then hunger will always win in the end and make you fail on your diet. Willpower to ignore the hunger pangs can only last for so long before you binge. That's why people who go on semi-starvation diets end up relapsing and regaining weight. But with keto you can restrict food, restrict overall calories, AND not feel hungry all the time. keto works because it naturally supresses a person's hunger so people end up eating less than they would on a high-carb diet.

The user in the image is saying that the idea of CICO is in the way of people making better choices.... it makes people think that a 160-calorie coke is just the same as eating 160 calories of avocado. Sure the end game might be weight loss, but the journey is a lot harder for the person drinking empty calories and eating 100-calorie oreo snack packs than it is for the person who is feasting on steaks with butter and salad.

Most of them are pure sugar/HFCS which will do nothing but make you fat and hungry.

Also true. Insulin drives fat storage. So although you're losing weight becuase you're eating at a deficit, you're going to lose body fat at a much slower rate and lose muscle mass at a higher rate. This consequently increases your BF% and makes you "skinnyfat". Weight loss =/= fat loss.
