Your body produces significantly more cholesterol than diet. Dietary cholesterol reduction will do nothing to decrease blood lipid cholesterol.

If you want a great primer on cholesterol, Dr. Mercola provides a great overview here:

Peter Attia did a great series of blog posts on cholesterol at The Eating Academy that's pretty comprehensive. It might answer any of the questions you still have:

The truth is everyone is different. I can eat 6 eggs a day and my cholesterol remains low(120) as long as I eat low carb. I go off low carb and mine shoots up to 250-300.
