Increase Dietary Fat on Keto When Needed

On ketogenic diets, thinner people may need substantial dietary fat to achieve clinical ketosis because they lack large body-fat stores. Palmer mentions avocados, olive oil, butter, heavy cream, nuts, coconut oil, and coconut cream as acceptable fat sources; for obese patients starting keto, he does not push extra fat early.

The thin person is going to need to eat a lot of fat because they don't have a lot of fat stores on their body. And if I want them in ketosis, clinical ketosis, I'm going to have to feed them fat.
