I'm not a dog, but I'm tinkin I might be able to choke down raw easier than

cooked.

Unless there are bacon and onions involved.

But that's just me.

Woof.

Ron,

Why on earth would you want to drink olive oil in quantity?

Nutritionally speaking, it's really not that spectacular. At this

point, I only use it raw on salads.

Hi ,

That was from back in my Zone diet days. The only two really acceptable

fats on the Zone are extra virgin olive oil and macadamia nuts.

Once you lose the weight you want from the low calorie version of the Zone

you have to increase your " good " fats in order to preserve your body weight.

I learned to chug olive oil straight from the bottle when I would go on

trips. It's still actually a great problem solver if you can't find food

and need some calories. Any grocery store has a decent selection of olive

oils nowadays.

Oh, I see. I eat coconut oil for a quick snack. Much better lipid profile.

For sure. Me too. When I have it available, anyway.

I do about the same thing, with bacon. You can get bacon in most Las Vegas

buffets, and so, if there is nothing else to eat (I don't trust much nowadays),

I just scarf down bacon. I can live off the stuff, esp. supplemented with peanut

butter apples.
