While replacement of saturated and trans fats with foods high in monounsaturated fat is a smart idea, chugging straight olive oil isn't the best of ideas. Monounsaturated oils, like all oils, are very dense calorically- just a tablespoon has over 100 calories. Straight consumption of olive oil could then easily add hundreds of calories to your diet, which could add up to extra pounds- which won't be doing your heart a favor.
