It will naturally regulate if you eat animal fat and meat in the right
proportion. About 70% fat (actually tallow) by calories looks to be
about right for adult males, don't know about you. I suggest you trust
your own stomach.
Please note that I and others experimented with coconut oil, and found
it worthless and expensive.

It takes a while, and it depends on age and other things, however it is
complicated by the veggies you eat. All of them seem to contain some
anti-nutrients.
Experience shows that you can trust fat (or tallow) and raw grassfed
meat, anything else is problematical. Check here, especially the
experience of delfuego's family: http://forum.zeroinginonhealth.com/
