That they recommended that people reduce their fat intake (which is definitely true).

I'm sorry to say I expected more from you Chris. How do you reducing fat intake is definitely true? Especially when you've read Gary Taubes.

He means that it is definitely true that they were advocating reducing fat intake.

Wires crossed moment. Yes they were indeed, pity they were sooo wrong and that the word fat is conflated with a dietry meaning and a physiological energy storage meaning. In other words people hear "make me fat" when you mention fat and how one(me specifically) eats so much of it.

Peter Attia and Gary Taubes have set up NUSI to get some much needed science behind optimal diet.

Peter's site http://eatingacademy.com/ has loads of cool data on his experience with the keto fyi.

It's been up for quite a while but I haven't noticed any progress. Is anything happening with it or it stalled?

Hmm I haven't seen anything either, my bad. Tis a shame, I'm not aware of any other optimal diet science. Is there any?

Well, there are lot of claims for that :-/
