    I'd steer clear of vegan lifestyle. Drop carbs, lots of studies support beneficial drop in cholesterol when carbs are minimised. I've experienced it first hand.

    Yes, drop carbs. Drop the highly processed carbohydrates, as it says on the conclusions of the study Simon posted: "Results suggest that there is a complex and predominantly unfavorable effect of increased intake of highly processed carbohydrate on lipid profile, which may have implications for metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and coronary heart disease."

    The non-highly processed carbs, that is whole vegetables, fruits and grains, you can eat cause it actually lower your LDL, aka bad cholesterol. Part of this effect is due to the soluble fiber this whole food have, you can read it here: Cholesterol-lowering effects of dietary fiber: a meta-analysis

    To further drop the cholesterol all you need to do is drop the saturated fats, you can read about it here: Dietary lipids and blood cholesterol: quantitative meta-analysis of metabolic ward studies
    Let me copy the very direct and quantifiable conclusions: Conclusions: In typical British diets replacing 60% of saturated fats by other fats and avoiding 60% of dietary cholesterol would reduce blood total cholesterol by about 0.8 mmol/l (that is, by 10-15%), with four fifths of this reduction being in low density lipoprotein cholesterol.
