My blood pressure was running around 137/82 and after just 6 weeks on Atkins it was down to around 115/73 which is excellent especially now since they are saying that 120/80 is a little too high...over the past couple of weeks it has always remained at this new level and sometimes even lower with the lowest being 104/65...this is very impressive to me as both of my parents have high blood pressure problems and I am now in my 40's where they were when they had to start taking medication for it.
