I'm 6'0'' and weigh 350 pounds. I have high blood pressure (it was classified as malignant hypertension in 2011, but a 3 drug combo successfully lowered it into the realm of moderate hypertension). I also have an irregular heartbeat.
I don't have any idea what sort of foods I should be eating and in what amounts. I've asked my physician and she really wasn't much help. She just said more fruits and vegetables. That's way too general.
I enjoy walking and I can walk pretty far without tiring. I just need a gameplan of some sort. I'm great at following a schedule if I have one. I just can't make one on my own and I can't find any qualified dietician to help me. So I'm asking anyone for advice, ideas, anything.
My weight is killing me. That much I know with certainty. I can feel it slowing me down, making my medical conditions worse.
