We recommend Anthony's Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Regular Olive oil (not EVOO) is O.K.

I just reread this thread, and I would like to reiterate my original position - EAT FAT! Enjoy being primal, cook with butter, olive oil, etc...
If you are eating lots of fruit and veges you will start detoxing. Make sure you drink heaps of water to help flush the toxins out, but you will feel bad while your body adjusts
Butter, olive oil,etc...... aren't Paleo. There are better sources of fat.
The reason that few outside the business understand the process is that olive preparation presents a challenge that preserving other crops does not — the olive is totally inedible when picked. It has the same overwhelmingly bitter taste as the chemical added to household products to stop children from drinking them. The effect is identical — it is physically impossible to swallow a raw olive.
Olive oil has been used for nearly 5,000 years. Did they use chemicals to process olive oil 5,000 years ago?
I have found that if I go too long between feeds (it fells like that) . I get to be just ravenous and like yesterday when I did finally feed I got a mild stomach upset and then got sleepy. Any thoughts?
I think we can all agree that animal fat is by far the best choice for cooking, but also that it is highly unlikely that small amounts of olive oil are going to cause you any problems.
