How does eating foods with more fat help losing weight? What am I missing?
Carbs are processed first, so if you don't eat carbs, in theory your body will burn depot fat earlier.
You still need to eat less calories than you burn though.
Fat can also trigger parts of your system to stop craving it, so you stop trying to aquire it by overeating. There are some science articles about it.
Staving off constant hunger can be as easy as cooking up a lentil (daal) soup that has some oil/butter in it. The lentils make you get a very full satisfied feeling in the bowel and the fats hit the part that wants fats.

Keto diets don't really create a caloric deficit. Instead, it fucks with your metabolism by inducing ketosis in conditions you normally wouldn't. Essentially, you're tricking your body into thinking you're starving, which means you start breaking down fats when you don't need to. I hear it's absolutely miserable and bad for you, too.
Intermittent fasting does something similar, if it's done correctly. Shit is wild.

Also intermittent fasting is not a diet and does not create a calorie deficit.

Wrong in so many ways.
Yes, diets primarily work by caloric deficit. But if you eat nothing but Snickers and maintain a calory deficit you're gonna have a bad time.
You should read up in low carb, something doctors have recommended for diabetic patients since the 1930's, because of how metabolism works (specifically glycemic response to specific macro nutrients).
This chart is meaningless.
If anyone wants a better layman's understanding, read "The Zone" by Barry Sears (a biochemist). Don't read any other books of his, just the first one from the early 90's.

Intermittent fasting is not just a calorie deficit, it reduces your exposure to insulin, which is an anabolic hormone.
What do anabolic hormones do?
They generally cause the body to grow. In this case, grow fat.
Metabolism can help or hinder weight loss depending on the diet.
Hunger is the feeling of fat leaving the body.
While "true" at face value, it's important to note what kind of weight loss people are experiencing.
Many of those diets cause water and muscle loss, so while you're losing "weight", it's the wrong kind of weight to lose! LOL
Keto works because your body burns fat when carbs aren't available. You don't have to reduce your calories.
