Can I eat lean meat if I have high blood lipids and high blood sugar?
Disease description:
I have always particularly enjoyed eating lean meat. Recently, I've been feeling quite dizzy, and 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 okay for me to eat lean meat with these conditions?

Patients with high blood lipid levels and elevated blood sugar can consume lean meat, but should pay attention to moderation and selection. Lean meats such as chicken breast, moderate amounts of pork loin, beef, as well as duck and goose meat with the skin removed are good choices, as they are rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and various trace elements, which help enhance the patient's physical condition and provide necessary nutrients. At the same time, lean meat contains relatively low fat, and moderate consumption will not significantly affect blood lipid and blood sugar levels. Patients should also pay attention to the following points when consuming lean meat:
1. Control intake to avoid overconsumption that may lead to excessive nutrition or excessive caloric intake.
2. Choose appropriate cooking methods, such as steaming, boiling, or stewing, and avoid high-fat cooking methods such as frying.
3. Combine with other low-sugar, low-fat, high-fiber foods to maintain nutritional balance and stable blood sugar levels.
