Can people with high blood lipids and high blood sugar eat lean meat?
Disease description:
I have a special fondness for lean meat. Recently, I've been experiencing severe dizziness. After an examination, my doctor informed me that I have high blood lipid levels and slightly elevated blood sugar. I would like to know if it's still safe for me to eat lean meat with these conditions.

Patients with high blood lipids and high blood sugar can eat lean meat, but should pay attention to the following:
1. **Moderate consumption**: Lean meat contains abundant nutrients such as protein and vitamins. Eating it in moderation can help replenish necessary nutrients. Additionally, lean meat has relatively low fat content, making it less likely to cause sharp increases in blood lipids and blood sugar levels.
2. **Choose appropriate types of lean meat**: When selecting lean meats, it is recommended to prioritize those with lower fat content, such as chicken breast and pork tenderloin. Avoid high-fat meats such as pork belly and fatty beef.
3. **Cooking methods**: Opt for low-oil, low-salt, and low-sugar cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, and stewing. Avoid high-fat cooking methods like frying and stir-frying to reduce fat and sugar intake.
4. **Balanced diet**: While consuming lean meat, it should be paired with fresh vegetables, fruits, and other foods rich in dietary fiber and vitamins to maintain a balanced and diverse diet.
