How it works

Excess body fat increases cardiac output and peripheral resistance. Fat tissue also releases hormones that activate the renin-angiotensin system.

Crash diets can temporarily worsen some cardiovascular markers. Sustainable gradual weight loss is recommended.

Why very strong evidence

Evidence consistently shows each 1kg of weight loss reduces systolic BP by approximately 1 mmHg. Major guidelines recommend weight management as first-line treatment.

Noticeably less frequent issues after about a month of consistent use. Worth sticking with.

Good results overall. Had to adjust the approach slightly but found what worked for me. Would recommend trying it.

Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.
