Is it possible to eat too much unsaturated fat?

Hi guys,

I'm doing a high protein/low carb diet. I did keto (I ate lots of saturated fat) and my blood test results don't look good so I'm switching.

My question: is it possible to eat too much unsaturated fat? Is there anything unhealthy about consuming lots of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats?

Thanks

Nothing wrong with that. Poly unsaturated fat can be unstable at higher temperatures so avoid that.

Trans fat can be formed and more. More details: [url]https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ejlt.201300273[/url]

For heating it's better to use oils high in mono unsaturated fat and never go above the smoke point of course.

This is why I use a propellant-free avocado oil spray for non-stick if I ever need it. I just use a paper towel and spread it on the pan.

It's a good choice but olive oil tends to do quite well too and it's cheaper I think. Smoke point is only a bit lower.

Do you prefer the taste of AO to OO? I've been using OO lately cuz I use it for other things like hummus so it's more convenient & saves money, but I do enjoy AO. That being said, I rarely cook with oil.

Honestly I don't use hardly any oil for anything... so the AO is all I got. But the amount I use honestly gives no noticeable taste at all. If it does, it's very very mild

Guess the Sesame oil I normally use is actually pretty good with a high smoke point and man it’s tasty
Edit guess it’s just “ok”
