Whole lipid profile is needed, I have not come across with this high LDL levels if this is the value to need to start high dose statins now only after consulting a cardiologist. LDL Should be below 100 if other risk factors are not there. This is very high it will never come to target level with life style modification 
Next Steps
Consult a cardiologist
