Unlike them sticking to a diet based on scienfic reasearch done 30 years ago, at least you are trying a diet based on 21st century research.

Actually, there is little or no scientific research that supports a low-fat diet. I hope you can get to it, but follow this path to an article that describes the history of the government's food pyramid:
1. Go to
http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/news.html
2. Scroll down to the article dated April/May 2001 and click on the "this link instead" link.
The article is titled "The Soft Science of Dietary Fat" and subtitled "Mainstream nutritional science has demonized dietary fat, yet 50 years and hundreds of millions of dollars of research have failed to prove that eating a low-fat diet will help you live longer."
As I said, hopefully, you will be able to get there. It's an article at Science Magazine and that link should get you past the registration. If not, you may need to register.
In a nutshell, the article says that the food pyramid was based on a layman's opinion and was "supported" by a researcher who had done some questionable (which he later admitted) research to support his own "radical" ideas.
It's a long article, but well worth the reading.
And there's another, related, article at:
