The biggest issue with vegetable oil is not the calories...its the trans-fatty acids. Vegetable oil is not healthy for anyone, no matter how fast, or slow, the metabolism.
If you want to fry...go ahead. Just use an olive, sunflower or peanut oil to do the frying. Each one has some really healthy benefits, and gives the food a good flavor. Personally, I use olive oil.
Try the information on the two sites below...it will help you to understand the difference between oils...and the reasons for the healthy/unhealthy debate.
 
Before I say anything...I have a fast metabolism and I take a shit 1-3 times daily, and family members call me a skeleton, so vegetable oil isn't an issue for me.

Obviously a lot of good stuff is lost when cooking, but I'll buy a pressure cooker soon so those things aren't lost. So other than that...

What else is there? My mom said cooked potatoes have cholesterol or something like that, but how and why does this happen? I never did research on this. Anything else I should know?
 
You should cook in FIRST PRESSED Olive oil. If it doesn't say First Pressed on the bottle don't get it. It increased the good fat levels and dilutes the bad.

No more or less than regular potatoes. I think microwaved sweet potatoes are good, and then you just eat them skin and all. Its easy too.
