Is this "The meat and cheese" diet?

my sister has done a lot of research into olive oils due to her kids having reactions to many foods the two she found to be the most reliable are

My fats come from coconut, meat and cheese/full fat dairy. I also eat nuts and avocados but they are not my major sources of fats.
I don't like olive oil. Shhh. It is dangerous to admit that in public nowadays. It's almost sacrilegious to say that one doesn't like it.

Me too. Never enjoyed the taste of olive oil, but then again, maybe I've been buying the substandard ones. I'd much prefer salted butter on my veg.0 -

Hahahah very true!
I don't eat a lot of cheese at all.. A lot of my fat comes from my BPC lol. But I love fatty meat so that would be my next source and I love days I get mayo in diet because it adds fats in to (might not be as healthy but it's my way).

That was probably my problem too. I had a tough time spending $20+ on a bottle for the good stuff... Coconut oil and butter is cheaper and tastes better to me anyways. 0 -
Milder olive oil is cheaper. I live in olive growing country and buy locally, preferring the strongly fruity olive oils over the peppery and bitter ones. I never liked butter on my vegetables, only on bread. Now I like it in my coffee, which is how I like coconut oil too. I only cook with coconut oil if I'm making something like coconut flour pancakes or Indian coconut green beans. I have high oleic sunflower oil as a flavorless cooking oil with a high smoke point.0

My fats come mostly from nuts, seeds, avocado, cheese, and fatty fish.
Some red meats as well, but much less than most on here I suspect.

**sorry i didn't quite answer your question: cream cheese, butter, olive oil, nuts, meat & lovely HWC
@MyPrimalLife I SO hear you! I was eating CICO, which did help me lose 40 pounds, but I still ate things that were NOT healthier choices because I was looking at calorie value, not nutritional value. Now I feel like I am more aware of what's IN my food and whether I want to eat something that's ultimately going to make me feel good.
In the grand scheme of this conversation I think people have boxed LCHF into what used to be Atkins, which I did in college and Yes, I lost weight and Yes, I ate a lot of "meat and cheese", but the way I looked at it was as a diet, not a WOE and when push came to shove on wanting to eat things that weren't meat and cheese, I didn't know how to handle it and gained all that I lost PLUS another 15-20 pounds. Which I think is largely what people see LCHF to be. It's so much more than that, but again, they've placed it in a box for what they deem it to be. Their loss!

I think these are good points, and probably part of why I never considered myself all that "low carb". My diet starts with vegetables and works out from there. 0 -
I'm good with meat and cheese. I'm honestly ok with eating nothing but that. Most of my fat comes from butter, meat (made my own schmaltz the other day - woohoo!) and some MCT oil.0
