It seems like some people regard small amounts of fat to be allowable, specifically a bit of coconut oil in your coffee. At least it won't break the fasting of the carb processing machinery, so it shouldn't prevent you from going into ketosis.

It may reduce any desired autophagy effects, which are unfortunately not very well-studied in the first place, but it may just es well increase them! I've seen both POVs argued in various articles. The only actual scientific study I can find (1) does show some interesting effects on various metabolic markers, though (in rats). 1. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38401196/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38401196/
