Default Bad Trans Fats vs Good Fats

My cholestral levels were high when I had my blood tested 3 mths ago and I have been on the Aitkins diet now 27 days i am about to have a check up.Frankly I was a brown rice, fruit and lean chicken guy no butter for 15 years !!Ha I will be utterly dismayed if my cholesteral levels have dropped --we shall see.
My dad died 4 yrs ago from heart disease at 65 and I am terrified that I am going the same route now..because whilst the diet makes sense in theory
in reality:
I have been eating masses of the following
cheese
eggs
macadamia nuts
steak
pork
bacon
butter
clotted cream
Should I start to replace some of these high protein high animal fat items with stuff like
fish
tofu
???
???
is there a comprehensive plan that specifies specific items to eat other than just recipies.

Can anyone suggest any moderate menu plans that are not as high in saturated fats.
Thanks
Richard
