Has anyone experienced a change in blood pressure while following the 800 diet?

Yes – I’ve seen a reduction. I measured at the end of 6 weeks and was on the low side of normal.

Please let me know the numbers before and after, to the best of your memory. And were you on blood pressure medication and were you able to stop using it?

Hi – I am on Exforge and before starting the BSD I was typically 140/90 +/- 5 pts either way. Just over 2 weeks into this and this morning my BP was 127/73. I have a follow up with my doc next week and will see about coming off the drugs or at least reducing the dosage.
