These low protein/high fat diets are pretty popular.  Nora Gedgaudes recommends very small meat servings and lots of fat as well, and lots of paleo types seem to eat buckets of fat.  I assume they are eating closer to 75g of protein, but WOW does that not work for me.

If I shoot for lots of fat and lower protein, I overeat fat and gain weight.  Carbs seem irrelevant to that situation.  I keep them low...doesn't matter, I still gain.  I do not find fat to be anywhere near as satisfying as protein.  I know a lot of folks feel differently.
