12 years ago I had a little high BP requiring higher doses of drugs over the years until 5 years ago , same on cholesterol.

I gave the Plant diet a try, in 3 weeks my BP started to drop dramatically, had to cut down little by little over several months, then it it 115-120 over 70-75.
BP pills gone for ever.

The cholesterol took a few months to get to 135 or so, again no meds

Lost about 35-40lbs

How do we (my wife also is on it but for the sake of the animals no med issues) do it

We do it because the results give us inspiration to continue, was it hard, well not easy, takes a few months to lose the graving.

Our Dr here has 1200 patients, we are the only two that he never writes a script for.
