This mornings blood pressure was 145/92 i.e. in the stage 1 high blood pressure zone. I also have high cholesterol. Blood pressure was 75. Before this diet is was in the low 50s.

Have been on the diet for just one year and a quarter. Lost only 30 pounds. BMI is 26.4, still in the overweight range. Looking to lose 10 more pounds.

Clearly, I need to make some changes. Limit the fat intake and stay on the diet or get off the diet.


What can I do to stay on it while limiting fat intake?

What is the method to easing off the diet?

What is the name of the Atkins book that would describe process?
(no acronyms please)

Thank you.
