this forum seems to be dead for a couple of months now.

But it speaks directly to a problem I have.

I recently was put on a beta blocker (Atenolol) as well as a diuretic and now a calcium channel blocker.

My BP was astronomical, IE I was a stroke waiting to happen.

The BP is down but I need to lose weight.

I tried to do the induction diet but could not get ketosis to start.
I'm thinking it may be the medication. I was strict on the induction eating no more than 10 grams of carbs a day for 6 days.
No ketosis, not an ounce of weight loss.

I have a Doctors appt next week and I'm going to try and get him to take me off the Beta Blocker and start me on an ACE inhibitor. I have my health coverage with an HMO though - and ACE inhibitors are expensive so I'm expecting resistance.
