Do these diets take into account total caloric intake? That's what I think is the reason why the lipid hypothesis came to be: people who eat too much by default eat more animal fat/protein than usual, and therefore it appeared that too much animal fat caused clogged arteries (instead of inflammation caused by visceral fat). Of course now you have 300 lbs who swear by "i eat low fat" as they stuff bagels and rice down their throats. I've lost 20-30 lbs reducing carb intake and focusing on meat in every meal.
