  • Working out makes a huge difference in mine. I was 160/105 very often... then if i increase my potassium intake in relation to sodium makes a big difference. if i have 1000mg of sodium then get 2000 mg of potassium..the 2 to 1 ratio seems to keep me at 120/80 or below without meds.

  • feel free to add myself and my wife jencirilo ..it basically comes down to a decision ...once a decision has been made then don't give yourself unhealthy options.. it's in the "decision" that the will power comes into play. Will power is fleeting and uncertain. Don't depend on being strong and determined. Just decide ONCE…

  • adjust your food intake to have a macronutrients ratio (total calories) of 60% Healthy fats, 25% protein and 15% from healthy carbs. I eat like this.. never hungry and losing body fat and gaining lean muscle. Good luck

  • eat good saturated fats... stop eating grains & sugars. ..works for me ... EDITED: i looked at your diary ..your total Sugar is way too high..that will put on a insulin/gulcose roller coaster..you will always be hunger until you get below 35 grams a day.. IMHO

  • only small amounts... example: no more than 28 almonds per day...otherwise (not sure why) my weight loss stalls and cravings for other foods increase.

  • I ,mainly do Paleo but I found during wait loss I try to follow ketosis guidelines 70% Fat, 20% protein, 10% carbs... It just feels better plus I actually lose stored fat. No counting calories, nutrition etc...just isn't practical if I'm trying to establish healthy habits. It keeps me honest.

  • yea i would recommend the BulletProof coffee to start the morning. It will give crazy energy and you getting some fat calories. We switched over to Paleo/Keto type lifestyle.. it is amazing how little we(my wife & I) desire compared to before. Fats just fill you up better and without grains/sugars you don't have the…

  • i disagree with a "calorie is a calorie" idea.. not all calories are created equal. Start looking at the glycemic index of your intake. Breads of any kind should be cut for a while. More fruits and veggies. Increase lean proteins - to stay feeling full longer plus they help build muscle from your exercising. Stop all food…
