That may be the best route, chugging some Olive Leaf Extract... For example, this product has 95mg standadized Oleuropein

I'd want to see some lab results of the potency & purity first though.

question is DOES OLIVE OIL HAVE THIS COMPOUND? HOW MUCH?

I'm really sure that drinking olive oil increases bodyweight, not decreases it.

well I wouldn't be so sure. if you cook with it or add it to dishes (not drink it on its own, who would do that) it certainly has beneficiary effects and it is less of a cause for weight gain than all carbs.
