Just a suggestion, if you don't want to go on a low carb diet, don't post to
the low-carb group. They are "invested" in it and won't give you good
advice on a wide-spectrum "balanced" diet.

Hi Tonia,

Actually I'm currently on the low-carb diet, and it has worked to a point. I
wanted the opinions of other low-carb dieters because of the other health issues
- high bloodpressure and potential high cholesterol.

My question was very open-ended for all groups, which is why I crossposted.
Bottom line is I figured once I lost some weight, my bloodpressure would drop.
Thus far I've dropped 15 pounds and it hasn't effected my blood pressure. The
diet I was given by my doctor that will help is a low-fat, low-calorie diet with
no real regard to carbs. This will lower my bloodpressure and cholesterol, but
it will slow my weight loss -- to a point.

Thanks for the comments, and take care.

Alex.
