Is cooking with olive oil/butter enough? I’ve read that eating more fat helps you lose weight faster. I’m wondering if that fat needs to be added, or can you count the fat naturally occuring in the foods you eat–like cheese, eggs, etc?

eat healthy fats with omega 3s in them. Avocados, nuts, lean meats, etc… Your body actually needs these fats.

I think what you’ve been hearing is stupid.
Just eat healthy, moderately, and you’ll lose weight.
However…
To answer your question, I think adding more fat into a diet does mean cooking with more oil/butter, not necessarily eating fattier foods.
Just my (Correct) opinion, I used to watch a LOT of Food Network so that seems to be the situation.

that dude is right, coconut oil is great because it’s a Medium Chain Tryglyceride [MCT Oil]. MCT Oil does not convert to fat, it does not get stored, the majority of it is burned off by the body – it raises the metabolism in this respect. I made the mistake of having too much MCT one time, got a really bad stomach ache, and it was horrible so watch out! Just use it moderately in conjunction with Sprint Cardio and other things. You probably dont want to take MCT Oil with Flaxseed Oil but I could be wrong. I can still "feel" that stomach ache and it’s been like a year. lol

Considering fat is 3 times more calorie dense than carbs, and its that weight you are trying to lose, i would look again at the "little things" in what you read, or approaching it with a little sceptisicm before you start deep-frying your diet. Fat that is added is no different than the fat that is already there. However, saturated fat at body temperature is not liquid, it is a solid, which is the reason for the plaque on the walls of arteries, which can lead to disease (you need these arteries open for blood flow!). for instance, wonder why butter is solid but oil is liquid even though they are just fat? well, its because there is much more saturated fat in butter, and it is solid at room and body temperature. So its probably a good idea to use liquidous oil more than butter. not to say that butter is deadly, but a Lifestyle of it puts you at unneeded risk.
