Depends on what you replace the saturated fat with.
Remember that the claim that saturated fat is 'bad for you' is based on correlations (nutritional research is hard, yo) and that saturated fat is in a lot of trash food. If you keep eating trash food with low levels of saturated fat, your health will still suffer. If you eat lots of saturated fat from healthy sources, you improve your nutritional situation.
tl;dr: 'Saturated fat' is a misleading proxy for 'unhealthy food'.
Lots of dietary fiber being healthy is pretty uncontroversial, though.
