I think you answered your own statement.

LC does reduce your appetite, as you say. You can fill up on lC foods, and have a modest calorie intake.

The problem is, when you fill up on a similar calorie, Carb heavy foods, I, like many if not all here, end up feeling like they are starving, thus they eat more, more calories, more hunger....

Sorry, your nicely reworded, but standard statment that people are obese because they are lazy and gorge themselves doesn't tell the whole picture. Do a root cause analysis of why, then come back and ask some questions.
