> Dietary fat is what is primarily stored and leads to weight gain during caloric excess

Do you have a source for this? The sources [1], [4] you quoted don't seem to say that, at least in a way I could understand.

I could have posted a better reference for that claim, but I was actually very busy when I wrote that. This article by the same author (Lyle Mcdonald, a revered expert on nutrition) clears up that point very well: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/how-we-get-fat.htm...

So your reference is a guy posting stuff on a blog? Well, here's a counter for you: I've lost 7 kgs on a ketogenic (low carb, high fat) diet. I eat as much as I want until I feel full. And according to body measurement scans, I lost mostly visceral fat and almost no muscle, which is amazing.

Yeah, try telling me you get fat from eating proteins and fat.
