Lose Weight, Lower Blood Pressure and Cholesterol with the Show-Me! Diet

If you want to find out if you are one of the 80 percent who can control high blood pressure or cholesterol by diet alone, have your doctor give you your current number. Follow me Show me! Diet to be fair two weeks, then have your doctor review your cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure.

The only food you eat at SHOW ME! Diets are oats for breakfast, and salads for lunch and dinner (see recipe below). You don't have to be hungry, because you decide on the size of the part. Do not eat alone, but eat until you are full and satisfied. If you prefer small snacks and snacks, that's fine; just divide your salad and eat as often as you like. You can also have oatmeal at another time if you wish.

Breakfast instructions: Use loose oat cooking (cut, steel cut, Scottish or Irish-style oats.) Do not use quick cooking or instant grilling. To save time, cook large batches - enough for a few days or a week - to follow the package instructions. Store leftovers in refrigerator, and reheat daily in microwave dishes.

Taste your oats with some cinnamon or nutmeg, and add some raisins or other dried fruit to the pan if you wish. You can also add fresh fruit - up to one cup of your choice - but eat the fruit with oatmeal, not just as a snack. If you like milk in your oats, use skim milk, nonfat yoghurt, or low-fat soy milk or other vegetarian milk. Don't drink it as a drink; this is for your oats only.

Notes: If you can't eat oats for some reason, red rice rice or something, seasoned and served in the same way as oats. Find brown rice with at least 3 grams of fiber. Or try the Kashi Breakfast Pilaf, a blend of whole grains available and delicious.

Drinks: For breakfast, lunch, dinner, and anytime in between, drinks should contain NO calories. Use water (usually, taste, or foam, tap water is good), tea, or other calorie-free drinks of your choice.

Once you and your doctor have proven that you can control your blood pressure and cholesterol with your diet, you need to learn how to eat this way throughout your life. Visit my site for the research behind the program, complete instructions, menus and dozens of recipes to show you that eating in this way is not only easy, tasty and satisfying.
