Im thinking on trying to eat vegan for 10 days to see if it has any affect on my blood pressure. I have tried dieting but bp has not moved. I was on Dr Mcdougalls website and seen many people get off their blood pressure, diabetes meds among others in as little as a week. So I thought i would try 10 and if it works i will keep going.

I was looking to add vegan friends so as I may follow your diary for meals.

Thanks

    Dr. McDougall is a quack and his prepared foods in the stores are, ironically, really high in sodium. His information seems good, in theory, but there are many other great sources for vegan information and nutrition. I'm vegan, so please feel free to add me as a friend!

    Dr McDougall also claims to have cured incurable diseases on his website

    I'm vegan, my BP is usually around 115/65 and I'm 38 yrs old. My husband is even older and his BP is that low also.
    We also exercise, this will help lower BP as well.

    Any other vegan peeps feel free to add me!

    I'm vegan. I've not had any BP issues. However, I've become a chunky junk food vegan as of late

    I'm a vegan of 5 years...and anyone is free to send me a friend request. I'm on daily and love the encouragement (give and given). However, my diary is set to private. If you just want to follow diaries, I'm not the person for you. But, if you want to give and get encouragement, that would be me :)

    I am vegan and log intermittently. Feel free to add me.

    My bp is usually 110/60 but it naturally is quite low, meaning I sometimes have to eat extra salt. Otherwise I have a pretty healthy, balanced diet. :)
