Just eat the toppings. Sometimes you need to dance. "I'm gluten-intolerant." "I don't eat sweets." "I'm a vegetarian."For example, there was a pizza party today at work, which I veritably fled from - stuff like that there. I have no idea how other people are doing it? (I think it would be cool if there was a thread about the social alienation faced by Peat eaters and the ongoing daily minutiae, etc.)
Sure beats the, "I only eat coconut oil and drink orange juice because I want to live to 140."
Blood pressure is still way up at 180/115, although 3 months ago it was at 220/140.
Have you ever asked your doctor about clonidine? I know your BP is related to kidney issues.
"The effects of clonidine on renal hemodynamics and renal function make it a particularly useful antihypertensive agent. During treatment of hypertensive patients with clonidine, renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate are well maintained, and renin secretion is reduced. Early in therapy, a slight tendency to retain salt and water may be seen as blood pressure is lowered. This effect on salt and water excretion is usually transient and may be avoided if a diuretic is used concomitantly. No deterioration of renal function was noted in patients with primary hypertension who were treated with clonidine for periods from 6 months to at least 5 years. The drug is effective in patients with renal hypertension with or without renal failure and well tolerated. Clonidine is also effective in hypertensive patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis, but doses may have to be reduced because the drug is excreted chiefly by the kidney."
