Hi Carlie, I have (had) high BP and am on meds to control it, and my experience has been a little different.

Although I've followed a low carb woe and I also intermittent fast, my BP didn't really reduce as such until I was in sight of my goal weight. I'm now working on tapering my BP meds and hope to be off them completely soon.

Also exercise such as walking really helps. Try a daily walk of at least 30 minutes.
