LOWERING BLOOD PRESSURE
- Jason found Vinnie through Adam Carolla
- Lives in Utah and is a pharmacy tech - works with elderly people and medications
- Found Vinnie when he was 6'4" and 320 lbs
- Now at 221 - has lost about 100 lbs
- His goal weight is 205 lbs
- He's tall - doesn't want to get too skinny
- His doctor likes Jason's weight loss but is skeptical about low
carb high fat
- Ultimately told him to keep doing what he's doing because clearly it's working
- For Jason, the grain part was hard to wrap his head around
- Continued to listen, and realized the science with hormones and whatnot, makes sense to him now
- He has Type 2 Diabetes and amputations in his family - he knew this was something he wanted to avoid for himself and for his family
- Put on blood pressure meds at age 27
- His blood pressure is still high but it is lower
- Will keep taking meds for now, but hopes to be off of them eventually
- Jason has found the FB group to be like another family
