Default Help needed to gain weight and battle cholesterol at the same time.

Hi guys,

I am an 24 yr old Asian guy who just started bodybuilding recently. My objectives are to gain weight as I am quite underweight for my size( Height: 5 feet 9 inches, Weight: 60 kg/132 lbs). I have read from a Forum that I have to eat more, weight lift and stay away from Cardio exercises to gain weight. I have been doing that and have been gaining successfully (gained 3 kgs/6.6 lbs in three weeks). However, my doctor just diagnosed me with Familial Hypercholesterolaemia, but he is advising me against starting drugs, instead he advise me to do more Cardio exercises and stay away from fatty food(I confess that I havent been eating healthy food as I was a little too enthusiastic on the Protein part of my nutrition especially if it was deep fried). May I know of any combination of exercises that you guys can advise me so that I may gain weight and also reduce my cholesterol levels? I am having trouble finding the best combination as I am afraid that if I do Cardio, I will lose weight. Thanks in advance.

Yours truly,
Needtogain
