Edit: just checked MYPLAN and I am now at 60% fat! Didn't even realize it.

Its more about the protein - some people are so metabolically damaged that they have a big insulin response to protein. With insulin levels really high, ketosis is just not going to happen as you won't burn your own fat. By lowering protein and upping fat, calories are kept stable and insulin levels reduced.
