When I switched to a keto diet I researched what kinds of oil to cook with and came to similar conclusions. I ditched all of the veggy oils in my pantry except olive oil. I buy a small tub of grass fed beef tallow that lasts about 3 months. A teaspoon for sautéing goes a long way.

Typically I combine an animal fat like the tallow, or butter with some olive oil when cooking. Occasionally I'll get fancy and buy goose or duck fat. Sometimes it's a pat of butter, or a scoop of coconut oil.

The food tastes better, and I feel better. It was hard to unlearn all of the bad science that came out of the last few decades about saturated fats, but hopefully I'll end up being better off for it.
