Went to see the PA I saw for my physical today. About 6 weeks ago I had a physical and he wanted a follow up visit with me. My blood pressure was a little high and I have some swelling in my lower legs. He was happy I have lost thirty pounds and when he asked me what I am doing to lose the weight, he was not impressed when I told him about Repairvite. He told me to be careful because there a people who will try to sell me products that are not good for me. He said they would also make pie in the sky promises. He wasn't interested in the address of this blog. He wasn't impressed when I said that Dr. Scott in concerned with wellness and preventative medicine while as part of the medical establishment he is only interested in waiting until after the fact to help. He just said be careful about the food restrictions. I told him I feel better than I have felt for awhile and my wife and others have noticed the weight loss and tell me I am looking good. My PA wants me to stay on my blood pressure meds, even though my blood pressure is back to where it has been for years. He says it not only for my blood pressure but also for my heart as I have precursors to congestive heart failure. He wants me to stay on my water pill also and come back and see him in 3 months. i am trying to get all these Dr.s to work together to help me get better and so far he is the only one that is dragging his feet. But I will continue doing what I am doing because it is working. I am smart enough to know I will not continue to lose weight at this rate, in fact my goal is to lose only another 30-40 pounds by the end of the year.
As a side note I saw this article today: 'Coke takes anti-obesity campaign global'. Coca-Cola says it will make lower-calorie options and clear labeling more widely available around the world, intensifying a push against critics who say its drinks pack on the pounds. Read more....
I love it when Coke says "There is a place for all of our beverages in a healthy life style".
