Eating fat does not make one fat. Eating fat with carbs causes an insulin response that stores the fat you just ate. Eat as much fat as you’d like, but avoid the carbs. It will not make you fat, will make you feel satiated, and may even make you smarter (brain food).

in correct in that...eating more calories than you burn, makes you fat

of the 3 macro nutrients, dietary fat is by far the easiest to store as body fat. that is a fact that we know from the studies. we also know, this only happens when there is an excess of calories.

high fat works because most people feel satiated as you stated, not because of insulin response.

you cant eat as much as you like and just avoid carbs and lose body fat....we know this for 100% fact. if you overeat on calories, you will not lose weight. exception is protein and only partial exception due to thermic effect of food and issues with the body turning excess protein into body fat.
