So, most of us now know that there are "good" (unsaturated) and "bad" (saturated) fats. If one were to take a good fat (i.e. olive oil) and consume a lot of it (not necessarily a gallon a day, but quite a lot), and ate an otherwise healthy diet, would it be possible to have a very healthy circulatory system while still being morbidly obese?

Early responders seem to think I'm actually considering this. I'm not! This is only hypothetical!

I don't know the technicalities of it, but the larger you are the more mass you have and the more your heart has to pump to keep all your tissues alive. Hearts are designed to keep a healthy-sized person fit, so the more fat you pack on, whether its a good fat or not, the harder your heart has to work. Off the top of my head, I'd say no.

Olive oil is good for you only in moderation. If you drink a gallon a day eventually you would start raising your cholesterol to a dangerous level.

It wouldn't work because all the extra weight would put pressure on your veins and strain your heart. Being overweight is bad for your heart no matter how you get that way and bad fats are bad for your heart whether they make you fat or not.

Your heart will be okay but your tummy will hurt like the devil! You'll have diarrhea like you won't believe - so severe that it could kill you. So don't be stupid....
