    Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (EVO) - a "true" MONO-oil at 76% Mono.

    Macadamia Nut Oil - the other "true" MONO-oil at the HIGHEST % Mono at 80%. Also, Macadamia Nut Oil has the highest Smoke-Point of any UNrefined oil, at close to 400F! This is probably the best food oil in the world... but it is considerably more expensive than Olive Oil and, to be honest, it is a very bland tasting oil.

    Agreed! If your going to do any oil olive oil or coconut oil is probably the best. With that being said be careful because it is pure fat even though it's a good fat. I rarely use oil myself these days and either use water or veggie broth when I am cooking something in a pan.

    water in a pan to cook????

    one tablespoon is about 120 calories...I use a little in the am with my eggs, and about one tablespoon in the evening...and have had no problems losing...

    I use colvita extra virgin olive oil...
