    It didn't do anything for my gray hair.

    *kitten*.

    I'm giving up then if I can't get rid of the gray in my hair.

    :)

    (and same results here. BP is now ~115/70, RHR is ~ 50, hair is still frikken white.)

    I posted in the 'latest NSV' thread my results.

    I was 131.7kg and had target weight of 70kg. BP was 155/95. I lost 29kg (63lb) and BP is 125/80

    You can drop blood pressure by losing weight. I still need to lose about 33kgs but I normalised BP

    I did it by eating in a deficit every day for 152 days straight. That was a 20% calorie deficit compared to TDEE

    OH and I had Metabolic Syndrome, fatty liver, type II diabetes and high cholesterol. All gone now. So I'm just fat rather than fat and very sick

    Yesterday it was 142/95

    See following chart - by the American Heart Association's standards, that qualifies as Hypertension Stage 2.

    "Hypertension Stage 2 is when blood pressure is consistently ranging at levels of 140/90 mm Hg or higher. At this stage of high blood pressure, doctors are likely to prescribe a combination of blood pressure medications along with lifestyle changes."

    If it were me, I'd be getting myself to a doctor.

    Thanks everyone. My parents have high blood pressure. I’m working on losing weight and minimizing the drinking
