Sorry - another question. you say "I’m hoping the reduction in adipose linoleic acid is worth it". If you are estimating that you have gained at least 10lbs of fat, why do you think that you will have lost any adipose linoleic acid? Wouldn't you have needed to lose some absolute fat? Is the assumption that you will have lost unsaturated fat and gained saturated fat?

The fat in your fat cells is always in flux, even if you're weight stable. It enters the bloodstream and then gets re-esterified.
The idea is that super-low-fat diets are essential acid deficient (EFAD) because they are so low in overall fat that all the essential linoleic acid that comes out of adipose will be used up for these essential fatty acid roles. E.g. Cell membranes.
Since I'm not eating any linoleic acid, the fat stored will mostly come from de-novo-lipogenesis (DNL), which likes to produce palmitic, oleic, and a few others.
So, yes, the assumption (or hope) is that I'll have lost PUFA and gained MUFA/SFA.
