High Blood Pressure

I admire the effort - but to be honest, I think your planning sounds a
little "hit and miss" at the moment. What lowers blood sugar levels - which
inturn lowers insulin levels - which in turn reverses the "sugar to fat"
storage process and lowers BP is low-glycemic-index food.

Aim for foods with a glycemic index of less than 50 (apples = good; bananas
= bad; off memory pears = bad too). Coffee has the same simulant effect as
sugar, so the more you drink of it, the more you're working against your
other efforts.

Most people don't realise how little effect green vegies and lean meat has
on metabolism - you could eat 2 chicken breasts and 5 cups of vegies 3 times
a day and still lose weight (and gain the other benefits).

If you're lacking energy then you're body is still trying to run on stores
of "easy fuel" - you first need to deplete the liver stores of excess
glycogon (which is what's happeneing - weight is dropping off (it's just
water)) - but your body hasn't adapted to processing the low-density carbs
yet (takes about 3 days) - what speeds up the process is being particularly
careful to stay away from "bad carbs" during this time
