Diet suggestions please...
Hi everyone,
This is kind of a last ditch effort to get my health and diet back on track. I'm almost 30, my weight is 275, male, and my cholesterol is around 180. One problem though is my blood pressure, which stays around 120-140/80-90. So now the diet debate. I've had good luck on the low-carb diet, loosing 15 pounds already this year, but I'm wanting to make a true change in my eating habits. Even though the meats, eggs, etc are nice and I have a good tasty variety, I'm thinking it might be better to go with a more traditional diet (fruits, veggies, etc). I'm also hoping to start lifting weights and plan to set-up time with a weight trainer a few times a week. So back to the diet question... for the 'experts' out there, for someone who wants to do more then simply loose weight, what diet route would you guys suggest? As for goals, this is a long-haul diet. I want something that's not too unrestrictive. With the carbs diet, no breads, pastas, etc, but with the low-fat diet, I think I can maybe have a small splurge meal every so often. Also, my longterm goals are to drop around 60-70 pounds, but I'm not expecting that anytime soon. I want to not only get physically healthy, but feel healthy too. On the low-carbs diet, though I do loose weight, I still feel unhealthy. But maybe it's just me. Comments and suggestions please.. thanks, Alex. |

You don't have what it takes. Resign yourself to being fat and unhealthy for
the rest of your life. -- "If I can't *count* the carbs, it can't be part of a low-carb diet." --- jpatti "Alex" wrote in message om...

Offer her loving thoughts and surround her with white light in your mind. If it is your inclination to do so, say a prayer for her to gain wisdom and to find a way to control her world. -- Evelyn (To reply to me personally, remove sox) "JC Der Koenig" wrote in message m...

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.

In what way is eating 70% of your calories from carbs "balanced"? In what way is eating 5-11 servings of pasta and bread yet only eating 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables balanced? In fact, how can you call it "balanced" when it's described by a pyramid? If anything, it's highly unbalanced. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |

Tonia (posting from alt.support.diet.) 221/189/130 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. |
