Saturated fat: villain and bogeyman in development of cardiovascular disease?

Since most people who go on a keto diet cheat about as much as anyone on any diet (i.e. a lot), the real effect is not so much remaining in a ketogenic metablolic state for years at a time as it is cutting out some number of doughnuts, and while the original idea is extreme, the product is a result just about anybody could get behind.

It's kind of like how most religions have some insane stuff in their holy texts, but regular nice people turn it in to a positive reminder to be kind by filtering it with their human inexactness.

I find keto diet is much more satiating than low fat or "zone" type diets. I lost 80lbs this way and kept it off by doing a moderate version of it 1 meal a day of "zone" type mix and other two keto style. Obviously I eat whatever I want some days, but 90% of the time I'm good about it. My goal was always to be satiated and not to be in ketosis however. I have kept the weight for ~7 years now.
