Does anyone have any suggestions regarding a healthy diet that is not so boring. I need to lose weight fast. My blood pressure is really high.

Welcome to the 30's board!


I agree with Kerstin- losing weight quickly is not the ideal way to lose extra poundage. What usually happens is you will gain it back just as quick! (and then some!!)


Talking to your doc is a great idea. Find out what their ideas are; safe and healthy too!


Make small changes-- changing a whole lot at one time is not only overwhelming, but also probably impossible to do. Too much pressure, ya' know?


Decide on one thing (ie. drinking more water, eating less, eating more 'fresh' (as Kerstin so well put it) foods, etc...) to do a week. Then the following week add one more thing. Slowly and more successfully changing your way of life.


Looking forward to seeing you on the board.
Good Luck!

Happy November!
