DAILY TOTAL: 254 grams of fat and 2,923 calories

Does not seem very low-calorie to me :)

Of course, question is how much of that food is really eaten and how
much of rest is absorbed, but still, people DO lose weight on diet like
this - something that breaks a lot of low-fat dogmas.

This might not be the best diet for humankind, but the sole fact that
weight loss happens on highfat unrestricted diet is more than interesting.
