[QUOTE="zand, post: 563367, member: 85197"] I have been following a low carb diet and walking for at least 30 minutes most mornings. I have lost around 16 pounds (possibly more, I weigh tomorrow) I still have a lot of weight to lose though, around 90-100 pounds, I won't know how much until I get closer to my original target weight of 10 stone 4lbs. For me, it's the exercise that has helped with lowering the heart rate. I gradually upped the speed and distance until I could no longer make myself breathless by walking fast on the flat, so then it was time to introduce slopes and hills. As for distance, I started off with only being able to walk around a mile in a day, now the most I have walked in a day is around 14 miles. The only change in my medication has been to start taking metformin, but my heart rate had already begun to improve dramatically before I started the metformin, so I am convinced it was the walking, and more importantly, the increased speed of the walking that has helped.
