What are things I should eat or avoid for high cholesterol and lipids?!
Question: I'm at a healthy weight, but these things showed up on a recent blood test. I also have fatty liver.
I know to knock off the beer and chicken finger basket things, but what are food that can help me improve?
Thanks :)

There are two things that are a problem when it comes to cholesterol: (1) Saturated fat, and (2) Sugar. So you want to avoid fried food, fatty cuts of meat, and regular dairy products. Nonfat or lowfat varieties are better. You also need to avoid junk food and soft drinks because they'll raise your triglycerides, which in turn raises your cholesterol.
Two things that will bring your cholesterol down are: (1) Fiber, and (2) Mono-and-polyunsaturated fat. Apples, dried fruit, beans/legumes, and whole grains are good sources of fiber. Avocadoes, eggs, fish, flax seed, nuts (any kind), and olive oil are good sources of mono-and-polyunsaturated fat.
fried foods, butter, lard and anything with animal fat and oil-butter
eat less red meat. don't eat bacon. eat less cheese. yeah, avoid fried things. eat healthy fats like nuts, olives, avocado.
