There are some errors (I think) in a couple of your statements:
“However, while the systolic blood pressure in the low-carb group decreased by 5.9 mm Hg, the diastolic pressure actually increased by 1.5 mm Hg.”
I think you mean the systolic blood pressure in the low-fat group, not the diastolic pressure.

“Due to these promising findings, the researchers stated that the low-carbohydrate dietary intervention “was more effective for lowering blood pressure” when compared with the combination of a low-carbohydrate diet AND orlistat.”
Shouldn’t that be a low-fat diet and orlistat?

I’m proof of this myself. I’ve been on keto on and off for over a year, and in July went strict. My diet currently consists of a lot of salmon (about five times a week) and assorted olives every day. I went to the doctor Monday and had the lowest BP reading in years. I’m hoping this means eventually I can go off meds. This is enough right here to keep me strict keto.
