There are many different types of lipids. There are 3 main categories of dietary lipids; fats and oils, phospholipids, and cholesterol. Fats and oils contain about 9 kcals/gram. Phospholipids, of what lecithin is a good example, contain about 7 kcals/gram. Cholesterol contains no calories at all. Is insoluble in water and soluble in fat, but is not energy producing - it does not contain any calories at all.
How is each lipid different from each other?
Fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids are all types of lipids but differ in their structure and function. Fats and oils are composed of fatty acids and glycerol, with fats being solid at room temperature and oils being liquid.

Will olive oil taken by mouth dissolve bad fats in the body?
No. Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats, which are known to improve cholesterol levels. Saturated and trans-fats worsen cholesterol levels. In a way it could be thought that monounsaturated fats "undo" the negative effects caused by saturated and trans-fats on cholesterol levels, but by no means does olive oil "dissolve" bad fats. While replacement of saturated and trans fats with foods high in monounsaturated fat is a smart idea, chugging straight olive oil isn't the best of ideas. Monounsaturated oils, like all oils, are very dense calorically- just a tablespoon has over 100 calories. Straight consumption of olive oil could then easily add hundreds of calories to your diet, which could add up to extra pounds- which won't be doing your heart a favor.
