Is it safe to eat all that?

Yes, it's totally safe.
In fact all the research that shows saturated fats to be harmful, also have the subjects eating sugars and starches. There is more research being done now which is showing that saturated fats are indeed very safe. The only unsafe fats are hydrogenated, or trans fats. These are the fats found in margarine and commercially baked goods.
Please don't make the mistake of trying to eat low carb and low fat. Dr Atkins actually stresses that trying to eat low fat and low carb is a mistake. We need the fat to use as fuel. It can be difficult after years of being brainwashed, I know, but have another look through your "text book" for more reassurance.
