You are also right, The lower carb diet is mostly Meat and vegetables. High carb raises sugar levels in your system much faster and then drops more quickly which is when your body signals it is “hungry”.

By eating the foods that take a much longer time to turn to sugar the body doesn’t give the signal nearly as often as someone eating sugary, high carb foods.

You simply do not feel hungry.

You mean, eating carbohydrates that take longer to digest and be absorbed? There are no macronutrients besides carbohydrates (and the galactose in milk) that provide glucose (and some other minor amounts of sugars that will enter into the glycolytic pathway at some point). Neither protein nor fats can be converted into sugar, though some amino acids can be burned in the glycolytic pathway. And humans are incapable of synthesizing glucose.
