There's a big misunderstanding about PUFA depletion just like there is a big misunderstanding about endotoxin, and that is, they are always a problem and always will be a problem for life. You can't stop their effects completely, but you can do things to greatly reduce their effect.
You couldn't deplete your PUFA even if you tried.
Unless you become an anorexic, or you have the rare disease Neonatal Progeroid Syndrome, the no adipose tissue disease, you're not "completley depleting PUFA:"
"Lizzie Velasquez suffers from a rare disorder and must eat every 15 minutes to stay alive.
Velasquez, a 21-year-old Texan, is unable to put on weight and must eat 5,000-8,000 calories a day. That's approximately 60 meals a day.
Velasquez is believed to be just a few in the entire world to suffer from Neonatal Progeroid Syndrome, which also accelerates with aging. She eats all kinds of food, including junk food, at will without gaining any weight.
She told the Telegraph, "I weigh myself regularly and if I gain even one pound I get really excited."

You can never fully deplete PUFA from your fat tissue. It is impossible. You can not just eat SAFA as your only overt fat and expect to magically be able to get 100% of the PUFA out of your adipose tissue. It is impossible to not eat some PUFA unless every single morsel of food you eat has the PUFA removed from it, for the rest of your life.
"The half-life of fats in human adipose tissue is about 600 days, meaning that significant amounts of previously consumed oils will still be present up to four years after they have been removed from the diet." - RP
Unless you're water fasting, you eat food every single day of your life, and every single one of those meals is going to have a small amount of PUFA. So the naturally occurring fat in the meal that you ate about 600 days ago, about half of it is still in your adipose tissue.
Oil is fat and fat is oil:
"Vegetables, grains, nuts, fish and meats all naturally contain large amounts of these oils, and the extra oil used in cooking becomes a more serious problem." - RP
Don't ignore the fish and meat part of that quote , what I mean by that is, people always try to demonize just plant foods, when animal foods have PUFA too, even if ruminant/grass fed there is still a small amount of PUFA, but saying that does not make me a vegan, I eat lean beef and bison, I'm just objective .
"Unfortunately, it is impossible to devise a fat-free diet outside of a laboratory." - RP
Yep. And no one has the time or money or friends with a laboratory to create such a diet. Therefore, you'll always have some PUFA in your food.
“The most highly unsaturated fats, including DHA, accumulate with aging, and their toxic fragments are increased in Alzheimer's disease. “ - RP
Notice the "accumulate with aging" part? We're talking about meal after meal, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. It all adds up slowly. The slow fat exchange of the 600 day half life.
“Although thyroid, progesterone, and a high quality protein diet will generally correct the epilepsy problem, it is important to mention that the involvement of unsaturated fats and free radicals in seizure physiology implies that we should minimize our consumption of the unsaturated fats. Even years after eliminating them from the diet, their release from tissue storage can prolong the problem, and during that time the use of vitamin E is likely to reduce the intensity and frequency of seizures.” - RP
"When someone has been poisoned by stress and a bad diet, many things interfere with the ability to form and use Thyroid hormone. PUFAs will interfere both with production, transport and ability to respond to it, through poisoning of the mitochondria that use it. When you are under stress, by the time a person is about 30 years old, their tissues have had time to store PUFA, even if they are not eating very much in the diet, the body preferentially oxidizes saturated fats and sugar, and puts the PUFA into storage. So when you are stressed and over 30, your blood will fill with PUFA, which blocks Thyroid function as well as production of protective steroid hormones." - RP
"A small amount of these oils won't kill you. It is the proportion of them in your diet that matters." - RP
There's fat tissue and there's muscle tissue:
And it appears that one of the biggest signs of a healthy metabolism is one that regulates body fat while other parameters are met, and the conversion of the appropriate amounts of SAFA and MUFA from sugar. We make our own saturated and monounsaturated fats from sugar, including omega 9. If the body makes those fats from carbohydrate then pretty much proves that saturated fat is protective. But there should also be common sense in that consuming preformed SAFA in high enough amounts can lead to enlarged adipose tissue (The effect of SAFA-mostly enlarged adipose sites would be interesting.) I think this is what happens when someone eats a good diet, and eats enough fruit/potatoes/lactose etc., some of that is properly converted into saturated/monounsaturated fatty acids to maintain our own normal basic body fat, as in the basic human lean muscle tissue with a low body fat %. This would explain why when I was 20 years old my diet of 1% milk and grape juice, gave me a lean body that never put on excess fat at that time.
So it seems that PUFA is natures way of killing you slowly. Something has to age and kill you. If you don't die of a disease or blunt force trauma then PUFA will get you sooner or later.
