> avoid refined sugar and fats that are solid at room temperature.
This leaves, what, protein and starch? And cooking oil, I suppose, but all forms of meat contain solid fats.

I wouldn't personally consider rolled oats, rolled barley, or rolled rye to be refined sugars, nor are they quite in the white rice, potato, corn, flour starch category, despite flattening a "grass seed/fruit" being a type of "processing."
Furthermore, oversimplifying food advice tends to leave out conversation of how food breaks down. The main ways are time, grinding, heat, fermentation. Fermentation gets a bit of an asterisk at the end of hard rules lists. They may say no dairy but then exempt fermented dairy. Lactofermentation of oats will be less starchy than uncooked oats.
From my understanding of the available evidence, these fats are supposed to be more healthy than other animal fats / butter (saturated fat). [2] Whether saturated fats are bad or not depends on what you compare them to - they seem less healthy than say, olive oil, but might win out over refined carbs. And the most clearly bad one is trans fat which has the strongest evidence against it.

Edit: apparently coconut oil is supposed to be solid at room temp. I should get an air conditioner
Can you explain, in what capacity oils aren't "good for you" ?
Dr. Chris Knobbe - 'Diseases of Civilization: Are Seed Oil Excesses the Unifying Mechanism?' [1]
If you're short on time, you can skip directly to the trials data section [2]
So we're deriving that an entire class of foods aren't "good for you", because of a specific outcome in a study conducted on rats?
edit
Also, the effect produced on the rats was weight gain. Is all weight gain bad? Oils aren't "good for you" because "weight gain"? So, if a person's goal was to gain weight, would oils be "good for them"? And if yes, isn't this just way too broad a statement ("oils aren't good for you") to have any value?
In the rest of the video he discusses how it affects human health, along with the data to support that assertion.
It's seed/vegetable and hydrogenated oils that are bad for you and are correlated with obesity, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
Coconut oil, olive oil and butter are fine.
