What's presented on Lyle's blog is chapter 6 from UD2 (starting on page 34 of the .pdf), and the section titled "how to do cardio that burns fat" from pages 34-39 in WSFL.

Did Lyle come up with UD2 completely on his own with no external research?

It's based on earlier work by Dan Duchaine, and Lyle spends the first 5 odd pages of the book explaining this.
Combined with updated research, mostly on leptin, nutrient partitioning, fat metabolism (the relevant bit here) and muscle growth, that comprises most of the "info" chapters of UD2.

If no, does the research seem uncannily similar to both UD and WS?

Identically similar.
But again, it's not the research nor the scientific premises that are in question: it's the word for word copying, linked in Lyle's blog, that is the issue.

I'm not saying it's not damning.
Just saying that I don't know if there's more to it.
Maybe there is, maybe there isn't.
It's still jenky as hell, even if there is more to it.

There's not. Again, I have the PDF files open in front of me right now.

I'm not refuting what you're saying. I'm just asking if there's more to it.
Because I personally don't know. I don't have either text. I don't know what either one sourced or cited or listed as consulted.
The whole thing just seems jenky to me.

Indeed, it is. But short of posting the PDFs myself for people to pick through, which I'm not willing to do, I have no other way to validate what Lyle has written.
