Blood pressure is now normal

After just 2 weeks off of the crap that I was eating my blood pressure has gone from prehypertension to normal, how cool is that

That's amazing!

I'm diabetic and don't have HBP. Usually they go hand in hand. Maybe it's because I have never done the S.A.D. 7 days a week, more like occasionally prior to going LC...and have been either strictly or relatively LC since 2004.

Anyway around here we call that an NSV (Non Scale Victory) - congratulations!

Ditto Thud's warning...if you were on meds, please discuss adjust/eliminating them with your doctor. You do Not want to go too low in BP. More on starting LC with HBP. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb...-blood-pressure

Mine went down straight away when I started on low-carb then went right back up years later still on the diet -- it's a tricky thing you need to keep checking and not get too complacent. I got it back down, for the most part, by getting more strict with my LC and IF diet and portion sizes.
