Dear Charm jo: I ditto DianeP's questions. I also would like to have more background on your health status. If your are taking Maxzide, you have probably been diagnosed high blood pressure due to either obesity or another related condition. Typically this drug is prescribed as a diuretic drug used in the treatment of high blood pressure and other conditions that require the elimination of excess fluid from the body.
I am not an advocate of "pills" to treat chronic conditions as most of these are due to a life-long pattern of a toxic lifestyle which includes poor nutrition, lack of exercise and other emotional issues where the wrong foods become the center of our existence (comfort foods).
There are many great, healthy foods that can help you achieve your goal of 1,200 calories/day without making you feel "hungry"...keep in mind that if you were routinely eating more that 1,800 calories of foods containing sugars or refined flours, you will experience a "withdrawl" period. The best diet to get into in your situation is the "mediterranean diet" which has great scientific evidence to be the BEST diet for healthy living.
There are great new products in the market today that you can select to incorporate into your diet. I recommend QUINUA, a "perfect grain" high in protein and healthy carbs. You can find pasta and flour made of quinua. I would also keep away from gluten which is in most wheat products. If you love breads, try those made of flax-seed, brown rice or quinua flour.
Eat plenty of leafy greens, fruits and protein. Drink plenty of water to help elimination of toxins and I suggest adding CHROMIUM PICOLINATE supplement to control your sugar levels if you have a history of high glucose tests results.
Remember, Maxzide is the band-aid solution and will NOT get to the root cause of your condition. It is up to you to get your body's own self-healing ability optimized. There is NO DRUG in the market that works for chronic conditions!
