This thread is all about how/why to do that, but it's hard to separate that intention from the public health implications of what's happening in the real world.
It's actually quite an easy thing to do. Have you ever tried? You aren't trying to eat in the absence of protein, you just want to keep it around 1-1.5 gram/kg. Have a big omelet with coconut oil. Put butter on your broccoli. Put full fat cream in your coffee. Eat a fatty cut of good meat. Eat macadamia nuts. Eat avocados. Put extra virgin olive oil on your salad. Once you figure it out, it's no big deal.
Now you say that some people are unwilling or unable to do it correctly or sort it out. That's the case for _any_ diet. It's not a short-coming of the approach.
