Intermittent fasting / CICO / Low carb diet

I watched an interesting video the other day on YouTube. I’ll link it here. The summary, however, is that CICO doesn’t work long term, since your metabolism drops as you lose weight. That comment completely threw me for a loop. Like, of course? You weigh less, you need less calories. But the guy says it as if it’s preventable. He goes so far as to say that IF and low carb diets not only burn more fat, they do not end up lowering your BMR after weight loss. This seems completely asinine to me. Maybe i’m interpreting his words and PowerPoints wrong. Someone else have a different take on what he’s saying? It’s almost as if his position is “you can have a BMR of 3,000 while weighing 180lb just by losing weight a different way.”

I can’t imagine him actually thinking that in good faith.
