Help appreciated x

Usually when doctors suggest a diet so low in calories it has alot to do with the way their digestive system processes the food.
In your case, to lower your blood pressure, your diet seems alright, but I am guessing your diet wasn't always like this.

It's going to take a while to adjust. But try taking fish oil supplements or just eating fish and getting your Omegas use garlic, both are proven to lower blood pressure.

If your eating is clean your blood pressure will def go down.

I wouldn't say go away from what the doctor says because I don't know your medical background, but I would question the calorie suggestions. For example eating lots of fresh veggies could add up in calories but it should never be harmful for going over.

Also I notice your eating this week hasn't had any good vitamins and minerals.
Your clover spread doesn't have anything of value in it. Instead at least use a tablespoon of pure almond butter to give sustainable proteins. Your bread doesn't really have much in it either, its not awful but your body can't use much of it. They say eat grains for fiber but there isn't nearly enough in a slice of bread, get fibers from your veggies instead.

Speaking of veggies you NEED them. Your meal plan doesn't have any vitamin k (good for blood flow/reducing bruises etc) no real calcium and magnesiusm or anything. Your doctor should be telling you this.

You need to balance your vitamins to get rid of the grogginess. Many people think drinking milk will help teeth and bones, but no matter the calcium in it your body cant absorb it without magnesium....which you can also get in your veggies.

ADD lots of veggies.....I sometimes just add a crap ton of raw cut up veggies to a little soup....and since thats your meal tonight....i'd think about it.... if its home-made and calls for salts, use much less than required if any since broths have lots of sodium (not good for your blood pressure)

I hope it can help...your nutirents make a huge difference.... get your D, cal/mag, K, E and omegas for sure

Good luck!

Its an outlet and a wonderful one at that. If you become famous I'll be in line for an autograph!

Seriously, though find an escape, life is stressful these are things we must all combat.
Here's what I've learned:
--to start...turn off the news if its on!
--if people around you start rubbing off never feel bad to make an excuse to leave
--trust that you cant change people, if they arent ready
--also trust that you cant help people if you arent on top of your own life and priorities, never feel bad to do things for yourself, once you are where you need to be you can help people if they need it
--look for groups where people are happy
--go to a church service Buddhist Hindu Catholic Muslim Cristian ANYTHING!!! they all really only try to say be a good person, there is nothing wrong with a positive influence, its just how we interpret them.... and hey its one hour a week where we don't have to think of our current stresses or battle our current addictions
--Compliment yourself, everyday
--and promise to accept any compliments that are given to you

I could go on haha but these are things I've taught myself and Im always learning from and repeating them to my little sisters and my loved ones

We are only as happy as we let ourselves feel...

Wow! You sound like a genuinely good person... :happy:

Sorry, just felt someone needed to tell you that. :flowerforyou:

But you are right some people get caught up in their body image and in turn let it consume them and make them unhappy.

Oh I know a lot of people, but I think it would have to be more like an intervention! :laugh: Just kidding!!!

Thanks but you misunderstand what i meant by i knew 90% of i meant i know 90% of how i need to lose weight as in diet exercise nutrition etc i know weight loss is not just about exercise,but in my case it is as in my 44 yrs i have tried every diet under the sun and nothing ever worked until i put exercise into it....so in my case im the type of person who only looks at food and puts weight on....which is where my problem lays!

That kind of goes along with what I was saying. If you think that exercise is what you need to do to lose weight, but you can't exercise then you have to take a step back and figure out what you have to do to lose weight.

The only thing that is absolutely necessary to lose weight is a calorie deficit. You have to figure out how to make that deficit occur without relying on exercise. It can be done. A lot of people create a deficit successfully without exercise.

What I am saying is don't tell yourself that since you can't exercise you can't lose weight. Anyone can lose weight, they may have to go about it a different way than someone else, but it can be done.

Good luck...
