oil never breaks down and stays in your body. The fat you eat is the fat you wear. It is the only thing that clogs arteries and causes inflammation. You can eat nuts, and the body can process that. I thought I would miss it, but not at all. I use veggy broth for stir fry and any frying. Adds more flavor. It is hard at start as there is oil in EVERYTHING! Palm oil is the worst. Salt also adds to inflammation, and blood pressure, however, after 6 months my blood pressure has leveled to normal, used to be very high, and I can now add salt to my meals if I want. If you read the Starch Solution, it explains it in detail.
