Does anyone else have no desire to eat plant fats like olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, most nuts, etc. I could eat animal fats all day, including dairy, all of which agree with me very well. When it comes to basically all plant fats though, I have no desire to eat them. I was just wondering if this is true with other people, and if this could possibly mean anything?

Most plant fats contain large amounts of O6 pufa's (excepting coconut oil, and maybe palm?). Nuts, in addition to O6's, carry other anti-nutrients. Then finally, nuts are highly dense sources of calories, and very very tempting to over-dose on. So I personally I am not logically driven to eat them, though I don't go out of my way to avoid them, except I do go out of my way to not keep nuts around the house except perhaps macadamias. So, olive oil, coconut oil, macadamias are what I personally keep on hand for plant fats. YMMV. |

Funny you should ask. The only item on your list I'm still enjoying is EVOO, which I paid a fortune for but which was definitely worth it. I'm still miffed that stuff's being sold that claims to be EVOO and yet it's still clear after 24 hours in the fridge! To be honest, though, I never wanted more than tiny amounts of most nuts, pistachios being the exception, and I can't seem to acquire a taste for avacado. I was over 60 when I first tasted it and maybe it was just too late. Ychh. A tsp of flaked coconut a few times a year and I'm good. :-)) |

I couldn't do without some avocados or coconut oil although I don't buy as much CO as I once did. I cook with olive oil but mostly lard I rendered or grass fed butter. I guess you can do it but I I couldn't just eat one way unless it was comiong out of famine and had little choice. I have choices and like some of those things you want to avoid. I don't see a problem, but I am a big proponent for learning to cook and dishes from Spain and France are way to good to pigeon hold them back. |

I totally understand this actually, but I do love plant fats for variety. When ravenous I instinctively go for animal fats, like egg yolks, meat and ghee. But coconut is great and avacado is a nice side dish. :^) |

I enjoy eating seeds and nuts but cannot stand oils, even EVOO. I break out in hives every time I use even quality organic nut and seed oils. But my body is so sensitive that I cannot have avocado, ghee, butter and coconut oil - I get a reaction. |

I'm exactly like you, I even stopped buying olive boil because I just don't use it. I only use coconut oil when I make mashed sweet potatoes or a raw carrot salad, other than that I use butter all the time. I never crave nuts and don't feel good when I eat them. I could live on dairy, and made the experience that I'm leaner with dairy than at times when I tried to exclude it. |

the only fats i can get down with right now are fatty pieces on meat or fish and egg yolks. sometimes i ll do a little roasted ground pumpkin seeds but olive/coconut/nut oils and the thought of an avocado make me seriously ill. i did used to have a taste for these foods but no longer. if i had a source i am sure some raw cream/butter would be absolutely delicious |
