Patients with hyperlipidemia can achieve the purpose of reducing blood lipid by controlling diet, which can play a role in losing weight. Patients should take a light diet, eat less foods with high cholesterol and saturated fatty acids, and eat more foods with low cholesterol and saturated fatty acids, such as meat and eggs.
