They literally are though. You can decide to eat less and then… eat less. CICO is the last word on dieting; but the words, sentences, and paragraphs that get you there are up for interpretation.

Alcoholic brains desperately try to make them drink, but there are many alcoholics that continue to choose to not drink.

Unless you’re diagnosed with pica, chances are that you can indeed control your urge to chow down.
Sure, but you don't control how many calories you take in any more than you control how many calories you burn. That is, your brain's decisions to try to make you over-eat are no more under your control than your intestine's decisions to more or less thoroughly digest food.
This is the part that's always over-looked by those who believe CICO is the last word on dieting.
