It's a horrible way of describing it because there isn't "less lift" - there is just a spanwise redistrubution of the same amount of lift.
Anyways, if you read the title with attention...
Yes, being sarcastic with people who bother to try to answer vaguely-expressed questions always motivates further responses, doesn't it...
...youŽll realize that IŽm talking about wings without geometric dihedral. In other words, in case of sideslip, why does the downgoing wing have a higher angle of attack?
It doesn't. Any yaw-roll coupling in aeroplanes with no geometric dihederal comes from other sources - wing-sweep, differential blanketting of inboard wing sections and secondary roll moment of the fin being the most common ones AIUI.
