Visit to my Nutritionalist. Now we tweak the plan. My average daily fat consumption over the last fortnight has been 92 grams with the highest day being at 130 grams. The highest contributor is cheese followed by eggs and coconut oil.

I am advised to reduce this to 60 grams a day. How to do it;

1. Move to low fat cheese.Try cream or cottage cheeses
2. No more than 7 eggs a week
3. Stop using butter in cooking. Try margarines, proactiv or olive oil based spreads
4. No more coconut oil.

Animal fats BAD apart from FISH
Vegetable fats Good apart from COCONUT oil.

It might be a pure coincidence but I have noticed that my weight loss plateaus correspond to days of high fat intake.

Try cooking with herbs, spices, lemon juice, etc., instead of butter or margarine. Use Greek yoghurt instead of cheese. In recipes use two egg whites instead of a whole egg. When dining out ask for the sauce to be served on the side. Compare the fat content of similar products. Do not be misled by terms like “light” and “lite.” Good luck!

Have you asked your Nutritionalist to show the real research that fat makes you fat? Yes some animal foods like beef increase cancer risk.

The Nutritionist's advice sounds to me like the opposite of what the new research is showing. The obesity and Type 2 Diabetes epidemics match with three main trends in food advice and production: Massive increase in production/subsidies and intake/use of - 1. sugar and (much worse) fructose, 2. seed oils (a.k.a. 'vegetable' oils), and 3. grains (and processed carbohydrates). Michael Mosley, Robert Lustig, Jason Fung, etc. have been attempting to address the problems. What they say seems to make sense, and I'm convinced enough to give it a go.

What you nutritionist forgot to tell you is that all that margarine will cause other consequences like your liver fat and healthy fats are just that healthy fats, reduce your eggs sure, and reduce the amount of butter you use for cooking but I wouldn't cut it out and most vegan proteins have a large amount of coconut in it I have discovered when reading labels

How about cut out the carbs, increase fats and protein and most importantly fibre? Why deny what you like when you're almost at keto levels for fat? A change of vegetables to less carb-rich ones would put you in the mindset to avoid all fast food or anything with questionable ingredients(mainly carbs)
