I don't think that's completely decided for all people though and there are links to foods being high in cholesterol + saturated/trans fats causing issues with cholesterol... and some research around "responders" seeing spikes when most people won't.
Of my sample size of 1, I dropped mine pretty significantly in a year by cutting out a lot of red meat and dairy with no changes to exercise, and in terms of protein replacing it with more chicken, fish, plant protein.
Granted, I'm not going to redo the experiment several more times by going back to a weekly tri-tip to see if I can reproduce the results.
