    When you’re cutting out vegetable oils to lose weight, you’re doing it wrong.
    Your body needs them.

    What it doesn’t need is animal fat, and what you can safely reduce to lose weight are simple carbohydrates.

      You don’t need vegetable oils, that’s a very weird claim. You need lipids in general, sure.

      But I never said I never ingested oils - I said I was precisely monitoring calories, which in turn could mean smartly deciding not to use oil when eating eggs just because my flawed cast iron pan sticks. I could choose to ingest fats in more tasty or practical ways.

      Weight gain or loss is a matter of building a caloric deficit or surplus. If you’re going to do that by reducing carbohydrates that’s your choice, go for for it.

      I don’t need help with dieting my man, I’m a biologist and I’m quite happy with my weight results. I’m just explaining that a pan that forces you to use oil to not stick can’t be honestly called “non-stick” because actual non-stick materials won’t require the oil. Otherwise, every pan is non-stick so long as you use enough oil.
