I've been completely open with my GP, and he has supported me without really understanding what it takes to achieve the results and level of my current health. When I tell him that I'm very low carb, moderate protein, and high fat, I'm not sure he really understands how that combination and ratio of macros has contributed to my health improvements. Despite all that, he's supportive due to my NMR Lipid Panel results, my decreased weight (he is focused on BMI), and my lack of medications. We'll see what he says when he learns the new lower "healthy" BP recommendations, which he surely will. My approach is to be completely open, if I can't and I get resistance in pursuing a healthy lifestyle, I will find another doctor.
