In my experience that’s the primary positive point of carb-restrictive diets.

In general I find it extremely hard to restrict calories under a standard North American diet due to craving carb-heavy foods and feeling a constant base level of hunger. When on keto I tend to only feel hunger around dinner time and have no issues at all with portion control throughout the rest of the day.

I think the real advantage of low carb diets is regulating hunger and making it easier to properly manage carb intake - at least in my case.
