alt Hacker NewsThe "all calories are the same" statement doesn't mean that all foods with the same caloric values satiate you the same, and no one has ever claimed that. In fact it's very common knowledge; the entire basis of diets like keto that remove carbs, the least satiating of the marcos per calorie.
The only thing hormones can affect is your maintenance requirement, meaning you can gain weight if your body chooses to store the calories instead of burning them for whatever reason, even while eating the same as always.

I don't think that's true. I think the basis of keto is ketosis, not a matter of satiety per calories.
Keto people tend to be too reductionist on carbs and macro nutrients and insulin response. Carbs shouldn’t be a euphemism for junk food. And the potato is the most satiating food at 90% carbs.
From personal experience keto has convinced binge eaters that they need to wear a CGM and avoid foods like beans and carrots, foods they weren’t eating much of in the first place but probably should eat more of.
