Hi .. I m 51 and all of my life have been pretty skinny. I m male 5 6 and weigh around 8.5 stone which has generally been consistent for a number of years. A few years ago I actually put on a stone and looked a lot better, felt a lot stronger and clothes actually started to fit me. However on visiting the doctor for a check up my blood pressure was very high (200/120) .. this inevitably led to more exercise better diet and eventually medication and no my BP is ok but my weight is back down. My cholesterol is 5.7 which isn t terrible but could do with being lower so my old dietary habit of half a pack of biscuits a day isn t an option. I know people will say better thin than fat and I agree but I really would like to put a stone or stone and a half on and would appreciate advice on how to do this. I eat fish by the way but not meat ... I also have a slight issue at the moment that I have a couple of weak teeth which mean eating nuts etc is a problem. I have wondered about using supplements such as the nourishment drink but I suspect that may not be a healthy option. My current diet approximately is below if that helps ... thanks Charlie Current daily food intake (approx) breakfast - banana and porridge with honey lunch - either soup and bread or more often a sardine sandwich with salad and salad cream (3 slices of bread) mid pm - this is where I used to have biscuits and feel I could do more ... I sometimes have a piece of fruit cake and a cup of tea eve meal - this varies and I would say is quite adequate .. either fish veg and potatoes, a pasta or rice dish followed by a yoghurt. .. I do tend to eat this quite late prob around 8pm on average (lunch would be around 1pm ish)

Hello, I understand your concern and would explain that high blood pressure could be related to being overweight.  Anyway, you should know that a single high blood pressure values at the doctor's office do not indicate persistent high blood pressure. It could be related to White Coat syn Chat Doctor.  If high blood pressure values persist, and you cannot lose your weight, I would recommend taking antihypertensive therapy.  Regarding losing weight, I would recommend avoiding eating heavy at lunch and follow the Duran Diet.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
