Hi everyone, signed up the other day, thought I better say hello
My blood pressure has been bordering on 'concern' level for a few years (I'm 50 - male) and a couple months back I decided to do something about it as it had reached 160/110
At that time I was also obese weighing 203 lbs at 5 feet 8 and a half inches, with about 46" around the middle.
I started walking my dog more and by 2 weeks ago I was 200lbs and 43" round the middle but felt crap!
Stumbled on a thread on a 'conspiracy' website (this (http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1156003/pg1)) and thought it sounded good. It's a bit like Atkins but with controlled levels of protein.
Anyhow, I have now been following this plan for 12 days, I'm not due to measure myself till tomorrow but after the first seven days I had dropped to 192 lbs and 41" around the middle, more importantly (to me at the present), my blood pressure seems to be around 140/100 which is a vast improvement. If I make the same improvement again it will mean I am normal and therefore no nasty drugs - yay.
Loving the food, it's surprising when I look at some of my meals including lots of greens etc that my diet is actually 82% fat, 3.5% carbs and 14.5% protein because the meals actually look very healthy and appetising.
Missing beer but I do treat myself to a scotch whisky or two.
So, it's good to be here, hi folks. x :wave:
