While I use Olive Oil for the most part, I’m curious to know if grapeseed oil is a good substitute. What are your thoughts?

How do I start? I too easily go into analysis paralysis and hamstring myself trying to figure things out…AND NEVER GET STARTED! 😢

Edit: just saw the question in the video. Been eating planted based for 7 years and initially lost a lot of weight, but it’s all come back (I was also eating super low fat) since I’ve reincorporated fats into my diet.

How long do olives last in the fridge in an open jar? The packaging says to consume within like 2-3 days, but how are you gonna do that with a litre or two of olives?
