So at the end of last year my BP was measuring a bit high, still is probably a bit high and I haven't measured since, and I made the decision to try a gradual lifestyle change and lose some weight. I've always had an issue with losing weight cause I start to worry about it being a symptom of something more sinister.
I decided to start by reducing sugar and getting more exercise. I completely stopped drinking sugary sodas, going for water or the diet option if I do want something sweeter. So I went from 93 kilos in January to between 85 and 86 in mid March, when I decided to slow down a little bit and not hyper obsess about the diet like I had been doing but still keep not drinking any sugary drinks. But now I start to worry a bit. I still haven't gained any of the weight back and am still around 85 despite not having been on diet for a month.
Is this worrisome or is it really possible that simply eliminating all the calories I was drinking in sugary drinks is still keeping me losing weight or maintaining my current weight? I have often heard that if you lose 10% of your body weight in few months then that could be a bad sign. But I guess that is without trying.....?
