Why "extra light olive oil" specifically?
Normally what one looks for is cold pressed extra virgin olive oil.
This is the pure stuff that has not had enzymes destroyed by heat or
chemicals.
Would other forms of olive oil have the same beneficial effects?
From what I have read, the benefits if the oil is heat or solvent
extracted are greatly reduced.
4 tablespoons of olive oil contains just under 500 calories, so if one
takes this much, food intake needs to be reduced by about 25% to prevent
gaining weight.

That number is actually kinda low, by some authorities. If you talked
to Hal Huggins, for instance, he'd tell you it should be around 220 or
so to be healthiest.
I've heard that, below about 180 or so, you actually experience an
increase in the risk of heart attack, I believe.

That's certainly a good number! Are you finding that you're able to
resist the temptation of carbohydrates better on that regemin? High
carb consumption is usually the immediate cause of high triglycerides.

Agreed on all counts.
How is your blood pressure. Any effects on that?
Thanks,
