Hello doctor,

I am a 38-year-old male, who has high cholesterol and a fatty liver. In our home, we use groundnut oil for cooking, and I use up to 2 tablespoons of ghee every day. I consume alcohol twice a day. But now, I have decided to stop alcohol and follow a strict diet. Tell me a diet that I should follow. Please, see the attachments of my health checkup reports.

Thank you so much.
