> the desire to consume calories depends on your current hormonal and mental state which are influenced by the food you eat
There are many, many things that influence your mental state including whether you've been through a breakup, have depression, are in a stressful situation or have mild anxiety. Changing your diet may help some of those things but it will not remove them from the equation. If you're stressed, you might still eat all the time even when not hungry.
> How much you actually eat doesn't matter.
It is literally almost the only thing that matters.
> Tracking calories isn't even necessary because your body will track fat and protein intake on its own.
Controlling caloric intake, whether by counting or other restrictions, is literally the only way to lose weight. Plenty of people will continue to eat past the point of satiety for no shortage of reasons, or they may be eating food that doesn't make them feel satiated, or they may have medical or mental reasons for not registering the feeling of satiety.

Caloric restriction and exercising more is clearly not working, despite weight loss. Because what matters is if people can keep the weight off and maintain it.
