Diet and exercise. Eat healthily (none of that low-carbs crap) and workout, especially running. Work up to where you can run like 30 minutes 3 or 4 times a week and the fat will drop quickly. I don't know about blood pressure.

 

[Ulcasterdropout]

Lose body fat and lower or stop salt intake.
That'll help level BP levels a little bit. Might be from other things.
Smoking, riods, drugs, stress, diet, a million things.
What was your last reading, was it a serial check?
As for fat pad, thats a stubborn area. No clue

 

[Xenoseal]

Exercise will also help lower yer blood pressure alot. And take time every day to just sit back, close your eyes and relax. Go lay out in the sun or somethin and get a tan too, that's what I do 40m everyday.

For abs. start off with...
25x4 Crunches
25x4 Leg Lifts
Work yer way upto like 200-300 reps in sets up 50
Leg lifts will help develope the muscle where yer fat pad is.. but there is no such thing as area specific fat burning.

For fat burning, go run/power walk for a while everyday and as stupid as it sounds.. eat more. Lemme explain this though, eat healthy food, but keep food in yer stomache as much as possible, this will shoot yer matabolism sky high and really help with burning calories, especially while ya sleep. Just eat fruit or somethin inbetween meals to keep somethin in yer stomach, not alot and remember keep it healthy.

For removing fat pads, some people have suggested high concentrations of Conjugated Linoleic Acid. The only downside is that prolonged use may hinder muscle gains as well, but there is a lot of debate on this supplement. Usually you want to stack it with Fish Oils as well.

Kinda expensive though, and some diet pills include CLA in them, but to get real results from it you need to use it long term as it does more to prevent you from getting fatter than to actually lose fat, so it can be good when dieting so that when you get off the diet and go back to a normal way of eating you don't get as fat.

My fat pad is disproportionately large compared to the fat concentrations in other parts of my body, so I may be giving this a try to see if it works.

 

[Xenoseal]

Fuck suppliments, just exercise and do leg lifts, developing the muscle there will make it appear less fat, athough it's not gonna speciifically burn the fat in that area. If you truely need help loosing weight, PM me and I'll help you with everything I know. I'll set you up on an exercise program. I can suggest to eat healthy but don't ask for a specific diet.

 

[Ulcasterdropout]

Maybe try thiomucase cream for reducing the
fat pad. Heard it works but I'm skeptical.

And I say again, fuck suppliments! Don't waste yer money on that shit when you can do it without it. I've never taken any suppliments for weightlifting or exercise and I never will, the only thing I've ever taken was Garlic pills and Multi Vitamin.

9cyclops9, wuts wrong with a lo carb diet???

 

[Gandolf]

I think reducing stress is a big factor with blood pressure as well. Try and get good sleep and relax. I have always been in good shape but I think stress has left me with a mediocre blood pressure.

 

[C-Guy]

I have malignant high blood pressure. I am currently taking 5 different blood pressure meds a day. Some of the pills are twice a day and some are every 8 hours. Not to sound gloomy, but every doctor has told me the same thing , that it is not a matter of IF I have a stroke buta matter of when. They all concur that it is avoidable and there would be no recovery when it happens. Through diet and the meds it is currently down to 180/110-115. This is actually lower for me than it has been for some time now. It has ran in the 150-160 range on the bottom.
I fully understand that IF I am to conquer this problem then it will be something I do as the doctors have no clue. Exercise is out except for the light stuff. The dr said I am toooo close to rupturing a blood vessel in my head.

ANY advice in this area will be appreciated.

 

[Xenoseal]

C-Guy Take an Asprin a day, I'm sure yer doctors have told ya this before, but I'll say it too. It thins your blood and can really help reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack.

Take time out to relax everyday too, like I said earlier. Just go to a quiet place and close your eyes.

As for exercise, if you have a dog or a pet that you can walk, go out and walk around the block. Or if not, go walk around the block once or twice every night. If ya do all three of these you'll probably see results within a week or two.

Carbs are essential to a healthy diet. Low carb diets are not healthy. They may make you lose fat quickly, but it's a really terrible way to do it. Granted, some people are extremely overweight, and for them a low carb diet may be what they need. But even still carbs are essential and once they get their weight down they should start eating carbs again.

I feel like I am becoming expeienced these two areas since I started my quest to lose weight and lower my blood pressure. My blood pressure was between 89-92 when I started this. My weight was at 225. It has been about 3 weeks and my blood pressure has dropped to 72-74 and I have lost 19 pounds. The changes I made were not drastic at all they were quite simple. I eliminated all table sugars from my diet. I replaced soda with water. I limited my self to one cup of coffee a day. I stopped eating all processed foods. I eliminated most simple carbs from my diet and now consume mostly complex carbs (in limited numbers) I eat mainly lean red meat, skinless chicken, fish, whole grain breads, cheese, milk, limited amounts of rice and pasta, vegetables, some fruit, prezels, and for my sweet tooth I invested in some RUSSELL STOFFER low carb, sugar free, candy. In addition to my diet I also exercise at least once daily for 30 minutes doing moderate aerobics. I also try to take a walk evey evening for about 30 minutes. So far so good.

 

[Super]

Can some one explain a fat pad? I dont know what it is at all, seeing I dont have one, is it just the nice way of saying you have a beer gut?

 

[Xenoseal]

Low Carb Diets are good for eatin away at your fat, but it also eats away at your muscle as well. Carbs are also essential to have a healthy diet. Exercise is the best method for loosing weight.

lol

Not necessarily. It's just some fat below the belt on the pubic bone area.

 

[Super]

I said I didnt have one, and then someone told me I was full of shit, saying everyone has one, but I dont think that is true. I am 6-8% bf and am really muscular and have a 6 pack. And I am on IGF and it shedds bodyfat, so what you think? I just dont have any fat down there.

 

[9cyclops9]

It doesn't feel like there's anything at all between the skin and the pubic bone? Like you can knock on your pubic bone and it makes a sound? Haha. I dunno man I guess it's possible not to have a fat pad, especially since you're so athletic.

 

[Super]

Well there is not a bone sound, ah well I dont care, I dont measure BP anyway, only NBP for me, that is the true length. So anywho!

that is part of the kicker for me. I'm addicted to Pepsi. If I don't have at least 2 a day (early morning after breakfast, and with dinner) I get nasty nasty headaches. and since I'm always on the road is there anything anyone would suggest for a service guy to pick up and go...subway, blimpies, taco bell, arby's or whatever?
and any ideas how to beat the caffine addiction I'm all ears.

For the caffeine addiction, drink a lot more water, and wean yourself off the caffeine. Try and lower the amount you take each day. Dont feel like you have to finish the whole drink. Addictions dont reach out and force you to take them, its people who give in to them, willpower is like a muscle too, fight the urge and without regular fixes it will fade quickly. Oh and drink more water.

Preparation is key for a traveller like yourself...make your own food and have it with you always so you are never stuck and "just have to have" crap food. Chicken and turkey sandwiches are hard to beat for simplicity and general goodness.

Good luck though

Hi C Guy, I started blood pressure/heart meds when I was 11. By the time
I was 24, I was on 13. I used to smoke and chew, and
I was way over wieght and eat every salty thing I could get my hands on. I had a small heart attack :-\
I exsercised daily, gave up nicotine, salty foods, and lost wieght.
I lost 80 pounds, my blood pressure dumped so bad, that I had to hydrate
to bring it back up some times.
Almost 2 years later, I am on NO FUCKING PILLS, nada, zip, zero.
Moral is.... pills will just keep yo alive longer, not help. Exercising
saved me from a pine box at 30......period.
Your just a number to your doctor and he's using the textbook
hypertension alogrith. I rode the treatment loop 5 times before
I got off for good. My numbers were the same (some times worse) then
yours, the pills did little and I would desensitize to them rapidly.
I know you say that "Exercise is out except for the light stuff".
Well, I went to the ER trying to go up 11 stair steps, now,
I just got done jogging 4 miles a couple hours ago without the symptoms and
one half way break. I started slow and just kept at it.
I am in no way bragging, I know how it feels to not even be able to jack off
as a teenager because your doc's got you an enough med's to drop a fucking griaffe!
Constantly being red and sweating even when it's cold out.
Just saying, I ran the treatment gamut (I mean all of it), and it was the exercise,
well, over exercising really that did it. My cardiologists doesn't get it, (but they always play like they do, nephrologists too).
That's pretty much my story. I know that when I thought I was gonna die,
I was dieing, when I said fuck it and started to fight and try everything that I thought could work, it worked. Maybe it was the mental aspect. I'm not really sure, but what ever it was, I'm greatfull.
So fight, don't think of "buta matter of when", I got " the date" also.
Now I laugh at them while I lift wieghts like a crazy dog. Yeah, I still get red (a bit purple some times) and sweat an embarrassing amount.
I hope to see you beat it man. I know life ain't fair, some healthy studs get the nice jobs, happy lifes and hot girls and and we were fucking getting scans, test, needles, x-rays, all the crap, during the prime of out lifes.
Good luck! and God bless ya if you read all that

Eat healthily (none of that low-carbs crap)

I wanted to say something about this. I agree with you because I have dieted both ways. I did the ATKINS diet and currently I am doing a balanced diet of complex carbs, protein, low fat. I dropped 20 pounds with the ATKINS, I so far have dropped 19 pounds on my new, "HEALTHIER" diet. The biggest difference between these two diets was the type of weight I lost. On the ATKINS I felt like I was losing valuable weight. I always felt sickly and unhealthy. My new diet feels like I am losing bad weight, I always have energy and I feel very healthy.

Thanks man, and yeah I read the whole thing. Congrats on your new life style. Thats my goal as well. i hope to kick the meds before this year is out. On the meds its almost like your existing yet not living if that makes sense. I am adding walking a little more each day (for safety), and hope to start adding some other exercises as time goes on. Thanks again for your help and any other advice is appreciated.

C, That is awesome. Physical exercise for me has been a huge, positive factor in my mental state.
