Replacing saturated fat with monounsaturated fat may resolve high cholesterol without significantly altering total fat consumption or ketosis.

“I want to see what happens if your saturated fat goes from 75 grams a day to 25 grams a day and to do that you're gonna get really familiar and friendly with olives olive oil and macadamia nuts”

“when you just replace the saturated fat with monounsaturated fat even if they stay consuming a very high fat diet the problem goes away”

“we basically just made most of it mu fuh so I said to the patient I said look the way we could do this just for no other reason is the purpose of a thought experiment is you're gonna basically have to become a non stop olive oil macadamia nut eater even the avocado you can't go hog-wild on because eventually you'll get too much carbohydrate out of it for his purpose and sure enough I think he came back at like 1300 you know after eight weeks or something like that so six more patients have been so adamant about staying in ketosis and not taking any medication but wanting to go through this experiment and all of them have had the same response which is if you can get them to mainline movea you fix the whole problem”

“if you can get them to mainline movea you fix the whole problem without reducing or increasing to any measurable effect how much fat they're consuming”
