Man, I think this dude can really benefit from a modified keto diet.
Look, on any keto diet, your going to see an increase in cholesterol your first 2 weeks. Overall, I lost 100lbs in 8 months on Atkins along with lowering BP and Cholesterol.
What I would stick him on is a diet that consists mainly of grilled chicken, fish and vegtables like green beans, broccoli, boiled egg whites, etc. There's no way he can't stick on it for a month. I didn't cheat for a YEAR and I was 300lbs, if I were that big I could stick with it indefinately lol.
My own theory is that someone that big probably has serious metabolism problems and he also might have problems dropping into ketosis. If he can stick with it for a month, only drinking water and avoiding the more fatty meats I'd be willing to put money on him dropping into ketosis and slimming down without having his cholesterol suffer. Hell man, I dropped 25lbs my first month (water). I bet your friend can do the same thing.
