Congratulations!

It is interesting all the different diets there are. I have a dentist friend who has gone to almost zero carbs and just things like clarified butter, bacon, beef (all organic). He's about my height, 6' tall and only weighs 133 I think he said recently. He used to windsurf then switched to wind foiling and now wing foiling. It is easier on the body than windsurfing but a great core workout so he's got abs of a young athlete and he's in his 50s.

I'm 64 and walk or windsurf most days for an hour to an hour and a half. Windsurfing runs my HR up into the high 170s and I can average almost 160 for an hour which is really odd for an "old fat guy" but I think I enjoy it so much and it is a whole body workout so I can do it. Walking fast almost never gets my HR over 120 unless there is a pretty lady nearby... My Sleepnumber bed tells me I often AVERAGE 58 BPM HR at night so my resting rate is well below my age.

I haven't checked my cholesterol since taking up the heavy walking a couple of years ago so maybe I should since I eat a lot of red meat and pork plus chicken and fish too. My BP is good, not as low as yours, but close when resting. I'm sort of doing an experiment to see if the high amount of walking and eating fewer carbs but not eliminating them will lower my cholesterol or do I need to go more towards a Mediterranean diet like you.

I get the dark chocolate covered cashews, walnuts and dry roasted almonds for snacks. I think that is giving me too much sugar (thus keeping me too fat) and will probably have to go back to just the nuts.
