This is Paleo, not Peat. And still reductionist, as it singles out "Dietary Guidelines" instead of a more helpful set of "Health Guidelines" which include dietary, as well as lifestyle and behavior guidelines.
With regards to popularity, here's a google trends comparison of the two.
Apparently, Ray Peat in 2017 is as popular as Paleo was in 2004. If we assume that Ray Peat takes off at the same rate, starting right now, it will be another 8 years until it matches Paleo at the peak of its popularity.
It also doesn't have the same kind of emotional, new-age intuition about it as paleo does, where paleo claims it's "natural" and "evolutionarily correct".
Also interesting is that interest in "Paleo" spikes every January, probably due to people searching for a new diet as a New Year's resolution.
