    Finally normal BP

    I recommitted to legal induction a few days ago and already I've seen some progress. Not on the scale, that's up actually, but the last two days my blood pressure has been normal! Even too low for my machine to pick up at first. I've been doing my best to do legal induction, I've added in a magnesium supplement, and I'm eating celery everyday. Something is finally working. Pretty soon I am thinking I'll be able to reduce my blood pressure medications (I'm on three!). At this point, the benefits to my blood pressure, blood sugar, etc are enough to keep me doing induction even if I don't see any weight loss at first.

    Re: Finally normal BP

    That's great! So exciting for you and it's great to see the results. Be sure and keep in close touch with your doctor.

    My blood pressure dropped in the last 3 months, too. The last time I went to the dr before Atkins, they wanted to put me on bp medicines. This last time it was absolutely normal.

    Keep with it and you'll be ditching all the meds hopefully!

    Congratulations!

      So happy for you Melissa! That's the true benefits of this woe. Not only do we lose excess weight but we become so healthy that we can finally lose the meds for the disorders our weight and lifestyles were causing. I myself no longer require medication for diebetes and high blood pressure. They are controled by diet and lifestyle now!

          I'm happy to report that I've been able to lower all three of my medications for the high blood pressure by 1/2!

              Wanted to update. I'm off one of my meds and two others I'm down to 1/2 dosage. BP is still right around normal.
              I'm down to 1/2 caff in both my coffee and iced tea. I also started exercising again very recently.
              I should be off the other BP meds before years end.
